KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Sun City

  • Renting cheap car rentals in Sun City offers numerous advantages. First and foremost, having your own car gives you the freedom to explore the city at your own pace and on your schedule.  Another advantage of having a car rental in Sun City is that it allows you to explore the surrounding areas, which are home to many stunning natural landscapes and outdoor recreational activities. For example, you can drive Sun City car rentals to the nearby White Tank Mountains Regional Park or visit Lake Pleasant Regional Park, which is perfect for fishing, boating, and swimming.
  • Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport (PHX) is the closest airport to Sun City, as it is approximately 22 miles away. The rental car offices at PHX are located in the Rental Car Center, which is a separate building adjacent to the main terminal and a free shuttle bus takes passengers from the terminal to the Rental Car Center. Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (AZA) is a smaller airport located approximately 50 miles from Sun City. The rental car facilities are located in the terminal building and are easily accessible.
  • It is best to familiarize yourself with what to expect when driving cheap car rentals in Sun City. Golf carts are a popular form of transportation in Sun City, and they are allowed on many of the roads. When driving, be aware of golf carts and yield to them as necessary. However, golf carts are not allowed on the main highways, such as Loop 101.  As Sun City is a retirement community, there are many older adults who may require extra time to cross the street. Drivers should therefore be vigilant for pedestrians and yield to them as necessary.
  • Sun City is relatively small, so there are no major traffic concerns. However, there are some rush-hour times and areas to avoid during peak traffic.  Rush hour in Sun City is typically from 7:00 am to 9:00 am and 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm Some of the main roads to avoid during rush hour are Grand Avenue, Bell Road, Highway 60, and Loop 101. During the summer, the temperature can reach over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, which can make driving cheap car rentals in Sun City uncomfortable. During the rainy season, which usually occurs from late June to September, there can be flash floods that can also make driving hazardous.

Our check in agent was extremely cordial, knowledgeable and patient. I had a problem with my pin and he found a solution by doing a manual transaction which was most appreciated. Car return was equally good. Basically drop keys and and run. Thank you Budget.

Had a 12 PM rental time on Saturday, but they close at 12. Got there a few minutes early and they were already closed. When I attempted earlier in the week to move my appointment up an hour to 11 I was told I’d be charged, so I kept the 12pm time. How can you expect to pick up the car at 12 if you are not open past 1150? Horrible.. Did not get my car and will never use them again

Pros:

Caravan we got was able to fit all of my family including luggage, however it over heated half way through the trip. Heater didnt work. Aux/usb didnt work. Brakes shacked and smelled.

Cons:

The van obviously was not checked before it was rented out. This EXTREMELY is not ok and blows my mind. This puts peoples lives at risk and could have caused an accident very easily. Once we got to our destination, the local enterprise was able to exchange the vehicle. Once we returned the vehicle at the end of our rental the manage was able to discount 50% off. If anyone actually reads these responsive i would love a reply. Thank You so much!
