Renting a car in Phoenix

Phoenix is spread across a valley the size of a small state, and nothing in it is walkable in July. Every car we hand over between May and September is pre-cooled, sun-shaded and A/C-tested, because that is the difference between a good trip here and a miserable one.

The drives are the draw: Sedona in two hours, the Grand Canyon in three and a half, Tucson and Saguaro in under two. Spring training in March fills the valley, so book those weeks early — we sell out of SUVs first.

Drives worth the miles

Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon

Two hours north on I-17 and the temperature drops twenty degrees. Do the canyon road slowly, it is the good part.

Grand Canyon south rim

Three and a half hours each way — doable in a day, better as an overnight in Tusayan or Flagstaff.

5 out of 5 stars
Delivered to the resort valet with the top already down. Perfect March week, and they warned me honestly about summer heat.

4 out of 5 stars
Sedona forest roads with no drama. Pre-cooled at handover, which sounds small until you get in a car in July here.
