KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Sedona

  • Although the city has some public transportation, it is minimal, making car rentals in Sedona one of the best ways to move in the area. By having access to Sedona car rentals, you will not only be able to easily explore the city, but will also be able to head to other towns in the larger region. Car rentals are an efficient way to visit different places and sights that are not directly in the city center. For example, there is the Amitabha Stupa and Peace Park, which is around a 20-minute drive from downtown Sedona. There is also the Cathedral Rock Trail, which can be reached by car in around 25 minutes.
  • Consider using the electric cheap car rentals in Sedona if you want to enjoy an economical, quiet, and comfortable drive in the city. These vehicles are available at reasonable pricing from several car rentals companies, such as Budget, Avis, and Hertz. You won't have any trouble finding a location to charge your electric car rental in Sedona because the city has 48 public charging stations ports with both Level 2 and Level 3 within 9 miles. The majority of these ports provide free chargers for electric cars. Electrify America Charging Station, Tesla Destination Charger, and Mariposa Latin Inspired Restaurant charging stations are among the most popular charging stations for electric car rentals in Sedona.
  • If you will be flying into Sedona Airport (SDX), it can be convenient to pick up car rentals in Sedona directly from here. Sedona Airport has a small car rental center that can be found in the Main Terminal, just a short distance from baggage claim. In this center, one of the companies that you will find is Sedona Car Rentals. You will also find an office for Eaglerider Rentals and Tours, which offers Harley Davidson rentals.
  • You must adhere to the strict Sedona’s child seat laws anytime you are driving your rental car accompanied by your kid(s). If your child is less than 1 year old or weighs below 20 pounds, ensure they are in a rear-facing seat. Those between 1 year and 5 years old must always travel in a child safety seat. When you are picking up your car from any of the cheap car rentals in Sedona, ensure you request to have the appropriate restraint device fitted. However, you should remember that getting a booster seat, child safety seat, infant seat, or any child restraint device attracts an additional daily charge.
  • When operating car rentals in Sedona, it is always best to make sure that you understand local driving laws and read up on a few tips. For example, in the state of Arizona, all passengers under the age of eight must always be in a proper child seat. If a child is under the age of 12, they are also not permitted to sit in the front seat. Arizona has many HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) lanes and these are dedicated solely for cars with at least two individuals.
  • For you to rent a car from any of the cheap car rentals in Sedona, you must be 21 years or older. Although some car companies allow those below 21 years but above 18 years to rent a car, they have to pay an underage fee. At some car rental locations in Sedona, you may not be able to rent a luxury car unless you are 25 years or older. Ensure you have a valid driver’s license and a major credit or debit card in your possession when you are coming to pick up your rental car. Both the cards and the license should be in your name.
  • To avoid getting stuck in a traffic jam, you will want to make sure that you aren’t on the road during rush hour, which is generally between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 and 6:00 p.m. Some roads in Sedona that are known for being quite busy include Highways 89A and 179. Roads tend to be more dangerous when it rains, so always be cautious in this type of weather.

There was no customer service rep when we arrived. No email notification only a counter sign of no representative and no available/limited inventory. Luckily Alamo was open and had inventory.

Pros:

Very friendly and helpful. They dug out the car after a snow storm without complaint. Had the car ready to go.

Cons:

I was not familiar with the car, a little tutorial would have been the cherry on top. Otherwise, it was a positive experience.

Pros:

Nothing. They didn't have a car for me. I booked online, I payed the deposit, I showed up to pick up the car and they told me they didn't have anything for me, that they wouldn't honor my booking, wouldn't refund my deposit, and I was forced to spend $250 to buy a ticket for a 26 minute flight.

Cons:

Everything. Having the car that I booked, and if not, refunding the deposit.

Friendly staff. Easy drop off. Good gas mileage for an SUV. Clean vehicle.

Cons:

It was supposed to be filled up but was only at 1/4 tank. Had to go back so they could fill it. Still wasn't filled completely. Lots of scratches to outside of vehicle, including vandalism of the paint job. Was supposed to seat 7, with luggage. Not as much space as advertised.

I've rented the same car before, the KIA Soul. The driver side door doesn't close all the way so sometimes the lock won't catch.
