About Phoenix Car Rental

Locally owned and serving Phoenix since 1971.

For more than 50 years, Phoenix Car Rental has been the go-to alternative to the big national rental chains. We started with a simple idea: honest, hardworking people shouldn't be turned away just because they don't have a major credit card. That idea still drives everything we do today.

We're an independent, family-owned business — not a franchise, not a corporate brand. When you call us, you talk to a real person. When you walk through our door, you're treated like a neighbor, not a transaction number. That's the way we've always done it, and it's the way we plan to keep doing it.

There are no online booking forms here — and that's on purpose. Every rental starts with a phone call. We pick up the phone, answer your questions, give you an honest quote, and walk you through everything so there are no surprises when you arrive.

No automated systems. No forms to fill out. No waiting for an email reply. Just a real person who knows our fleet, knows our policies, and can get you on the road quickly.

We believe that when someone is spending their hard-earned money, they deserve a conversation — not a confirmation number from a faceless website.

It all started in 1971 when our founder's neighbor couldn't rent a pickup truck to help his daughter move — simply because he didn't have a credit card. That moment sparked an idea that became a company, and that company has been serving the people of Phoenix ever since.

From a handful of used cars and trucks to a fleet of over 300 vehicles, we've grown by staying true to one principle: if you're a qualified renter, we'll find a way to get you on the road.
