KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Chandler
- Public transit in Chandler is limited, especially compared to other transit options in Arizona cities. Car rentals in Chandler will give you greater accessibility throughout the city, particularly in areas outside the downtown area. Visitors to Chandler should take advantage of the city’s proximity to Phoenix, which is much easier to visit with your own vehicle.
- The two commercial airports that service the Chandler area are Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (AZA) and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX). Phoenix-Mesa Gateway offers Chandler rental cars in the Charles L. Williams Terminal, with the pickup lot just north of the terminal and within walking distance. At Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, the Rental Car Center is a separate building with free transportation provided to and from the airport via shuttle. The shuttle leaves every few minutes from baggage claim levels in both terminals. Car rentals in Chandler are commonly picked up and dropped off at these two airports.
- Traffic circles are gaining popularity in Chandler and Arizona, so if you are not familiar with the rules of navigating a traffic circle, you should review them before attempting to drive in the city. For those that are planning to visit downtown Phoenix, visitors often have difficulty avoiding the METRO Light Rail tracks. If you have the ability to park and ride the METRO itself, that will be easier. Another challenging aspect of the Chandler area is the 202 Loop, which connects the Red Mountain Freeway and the Santan Freeway. The name is misleading, as it is not actually a loop, but a curve with three sections. If your directions indicate to "exit at the 202 Loop," check to know which exit you will be taking before you drive.
- The rush hour traffic of Phoenix can spread to impact Chandler’s freeways and side streets, generally from 3pm to 7pm. If you are visiting Chandler in the summer, you may be driving during the monsoon season, which can bring heavy rain, wind, and dust storms that will reduce visibility and make driving extremely dangerous. Do not attempt to drive during a monsoon. If you are driving during a rainstorm, pay attention to signage indicating areas that are susceptible to flooding. The "Stupid Motorist Law" of Arizona will hold you responsible for the cost of your rescue if you ignore signs and attempt to drive through standing water that strands you.
- Book your car hire in Chandler at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Mini car hire in Chandler are around -47% cheaper than other car types, on average
FAQs about car hire in Chandler
What type of car is recommended for driving in Chandler?
If you are visiting during monsoon season, rent a compact SUV or larger vehicle in order to remain safe should you get caught in a mild rainstorm. Outside of the monsoon season, the weather in Chandler and the surrounding area is generally quite warm. You might prefer a smaller vehicle, such as an economy or compact car if you are planning to drive into Phoenix, as the crowded streets can be challenging to navigate.
What’s the speed limit in Chandler?
Speed limits within the city are generally 30mph or lower, with strictly reduced speeds near safe zones, such as elementary schools. On the freeways and interstates surrounding Chandler, the speed limit is usually 55mph or 65mph for sections that pass through cities and 75mph for rural areas. However, pay attention to signs indicating that you are entering a "Safety Corridor," where you can be ticketed for speeding even 5 to 10mph over the limit.

Mar 2021
Cons:
They did not have the car I reserved. I was downgraded to a smaller car. They did give me a 10% discount though. They literally had only like 3 cars in the whole lot.6.0 Okay
Mar 2021
Pros:
They were only friendlier because they were late on pickup and did not want to lose a customer to their competition agencies.Cons:
Take time to understand customer requests on rentals, take more time in closing out the customer bills and get them their rental copy same day or at the very least next business day. I returned my rental on the 15th first thing in the morning, still have not received my final bill or an explanation as to why I have not received the full $200 deposit back.4.8 Mediocre
May 2020
Pros:
It was the worst experience I've ever had with EnterpriseCons:
The service, it took me over an hour to get my rental. It felt like I was dealing with a car sales man, he kept trying to upsale a rental and wouldn't take no for an answer.. Car cleanliness, it was full of dog hair..2.0 Poor

Pros:
The car was clean and the front desk man, apologized when I got there and when I dropped the car off about being picked up late.Cons:
They picked me up 45 minutes late. I was taking my lunch at 1, and told them I needed to be back to work as soon as possible. I made multiple calls to the store and was told two or 3 times they were close. I demanded them to give me the persons number who was co.ing, but they said to hang up, he is going to call me now. He never called and they showed up at 1:45.Hertz

Oct 2020
Pros:
The staff seemed overwhelmed with the two staffers which took some time to be attended on site and when i called them up to extend my rental contract through the end of October as I was on hold for almost one hour and my call was also terminated so I called them right back until someone answered my call.Cons:
Be honest with the actual time frames, leaving someone unattended and on hold for such a long time is simply not good at all.2.0 Poor
Jul 2019
Cons:
When I called them to confirm my car rental reservation, they said that they have no car available for me. I told them that I had already paid for the car rental for 10 days at the time of online booking. However, it didn't change the outcome. Obviously, they gave away the car I paid for.2.0 Poor

Poor customer service by the attendant. I prepaid for a car and was a few hours late picking it up on May 24th, 2019. The attendant gave my prepaid car to another customer and had NO cars to rent. I was offered a cargo van to drive from Chandler (Phoenix) Arizona to Las Vegas.4.8 Mediocre
Apr 2019
Cons:
Manager failed to mention that pre-paid gas wasn't refundable. I TRIED to do a good deed and fill the tank up with gas before returning the vehicle and they STILL charged me an additional $56 for the pre-paid gas!! I got ripped off for an extra $100! Great job!!9.6 Wonderful
