What You Need to Rent a Car in Phoenix, AZ
In order to rent a vehicle from Phoenix Car Rental, you'll need just a few things. We accept credit cards, debit cards, and cash — and we rent to drivers 18 and older. Here's everything you need to know before you come in.
At Phoenix Car Rental, we will make every effort to rent to those who cannot qualify elsewhere. That said, final approval is up to the discretion of the rental agent.
What You Need to Rent
Valid Driver's License
Bring a current, valid driver's license. We accept out-of-state licenses, so you don't need an Arizona license to rent from us. This is required for all renters regardless of age or payment method.
A Form of Payment
We accept credit cards, debit cards, and cash. No credit check is required for any payment method.
18 Years or Older
You must be at least 18 years of age to rent. There is no additional surcharge for renters 21 and older.
Insurance (If You Have It)
If you have full coverage car insurance that transfers to a rental car, please bring that certificate with you to the rental counter.
Please note: Call for the base rate quote and be sure to tell us your particular circumstances so that we may advise you of any applicable fees or surcharges associated with your rental.
