Rising up in the very spot where the Superstition Mountains meet the Sonoran Desert sands, Phoenix and its environs form the hub of a thriving metropolitan area covering more than 400 square-miles of prime American terrain. The city's location in the heart of the golden state of Arizona means that it's blessed with a whole year of lovely warm sunshine offering visitors the chance to take full advantage of the city's impressive range of cultural attractions, most notably the Heard Museum which houses one of the most comprehensive displays of Native American heritage in the whole of the USA. The amazing Musical Instrument Museum is another absolute must, with thousands of rare pieces on show, including the first Steinway piano ever produced as well as the piano on which John Lennon composed his famous song, Imagine. And you won't want to miss the Desert Botanical Garden in Papago Park, a beautiful 140-acre green area with thousands of exotic plants and unusual samples of desert vegetation from around the world. With a car hire in Phoenix you can explore the wonderful state of Arizona, a land of vast deserts, sprawling national parks and some of the most spectacular landscapes you'll ever hope to see. From Phoenix you can easily join the Apache Trail in Tonto National Forest or marvel at the sight of the stunning red-rock formations in Sedona. Also within striking distance of Phoenix is the mighty Grand Canyon, one of the world's most iconic natural attractions and a major draw for people exploring the state of Arizona.

" Very happy, pricing and service was right and therefore I would jaw auto Europe again on my next trip. I like the fact everything is included, the car, the insurance and the excess wavers etc, it's very helpful to see the end price from the start.

" Easy to use "
" Every one at budget where very helpful "
" Printing voucher is a little old fashioned "

" You might stress that a GPS is very helpful to find the way in cities and to accommodations. Eventless trip "
" Car offered by Dollar was not the Ford Escape, so we upgraded. Would have had a Kia instead, I do not think that this is an equivalent to the Escape. Did not know that Dollar is a subsidiary of Hertz. "
" Great service "
" The Budget experience was seemless and efficient - great job! Would certainly recommend the Budget service in Phoenix - the UK car hire industry could learn much. "
" Appreciated help in finding a one-way booking over phone. "
" Added a lot of taxes to the one-way fee I'd been quoted by Auto Europe. Very pushy about upgrading from the Compact class car I'd ordered to a bigger one. Verging on the dishonest about the "smallness" of a compact - in fact bigger than I'd expected it to be with deep boot (trunk). "
" I have booked many cars through Auto Europe as they are usually the most competitively priced and use well known car hire companies to provide their cars. The website is easy to use and I have no hesitation in recommending Auto Europe to others "
" Although I picked the car up in Phoenix, I was based in Tucson for my stay. I had to visit the Thrifty office there to add another driver and also have the key fob battery replaced. On both occasions the staff were very helpful and friendly. Great service! "
" Best Prices. All Inclusive. Thrifty is a GREAT Car Rental Company. "
" Thrifty is a GREAT Car Rental Company. Better than ANY major "
