KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Oro Valley

  • If you visit Arizona for a stay, get car rentals in Oro Valley because the small city has a wide selection of attractions and hidden gems. Oro Valley car rentals are the most convenient, comfortable, and flexible way to move across the city and nearby places. Although Oro Valley does have blossoming public transportation, getting to your destination on time is not guaranteed, as it takes a while. Furthermore, public transportation often gets uncomfortable since it is crowded and noisy. If you plan a long stay in Oro Valley, you will spend less time driving to must-visit areas. You can drive to Oro Valley Aquatic Center, Honey Bee Canyon Park, Mount Lemmon Scenic Byway, Pima Air, and Space Museum.
  • Tucson International Airport (TUS) is the nearest airport to Oro Valley, about 23 miles from the city center. Your flight is likely to land here if you fly into the city. Consider getting your Oro Valley car rentals at the airport to start your adventure immediately after landing. Car rental desks are at the designated facility located to the east of the airport terminal. Access it next to Baggage Belt 7. Car rental providers with onsite desks include Hertz, Avis, Enterprise, and Budget.
  • Generally, driving your car rentals in Oro Valley is an easy and enjoyable experience, thanks to the well-tarmacked, marked, and maintained routes. The drivers are generally patient, and so are other road users. However, encountering cyclists on the city streets in Oro Valley is unsurprising as it is a bicycle-friendly city. Pay attention to them, especially when approaching or overtaking them. Drive carefully when approaching roundabouts and intersections. Slow down when approaching densely populated areas, like schools, residential areas, and businesses, as they are occasioned by jaywalking.
  • Many cities in Arizona experience significant traffic congestion during rush hours. Usually, the peak travel hours in the city start from 7 am to 9 am. The evening rush hours are usually short-lived, lasting for about an hour. Typically, the evening rush hours begin from 5 pm to 6 pm. Traffic congestion is typical in the city during rush hours due to many city occupants accessing the city center with private vehicles. Endeavor to avoid driving your Oro Valley car rentals during these hours.
  • Book your car hire in Oro Valley at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Mini hire cars in Oro Valley are around 38% more expensive than other car types, on average

The speed limit in residential areas is 25 mph, applying in business, residential, and school zones, while the speed on rural interstates & freeways is capped at 75 mph.

People were nice. First car had broken mirror so had to register for second car. That had a broken headrest (and, we later discovered, no windshield washer fluid). They were not willing to comp us part of the rental, just off a discount on our next rental at their location (which would have expired by the next time we would be likely to get to Tucson

The car (VW Taos) was fairly comfortable to ride on the interstate and city, space and adequate gas mileage. Multiple warnings of oil level being too high became concerning but I was too do anything about it. Check in and check out process was normal.

I had to travel 30 miles to pick up the car. After the $65 cab ride, I got to the Hertz counter to find they close at 2. I then had to travel another 10 miles to a different Hertz. The car was smaller than the SUV I expected and they could do nothing about it. Returning the car was also a total hassle.

I just rented a cargo van so I wasn't expecting too much but they did not clean the vehicle at all before renting it to me. I had to sweep out the back before I could use it and there was fried chicken crumbs on the front seats and floor. Otherwise, check-in and out was fast and easy.

Counter clerk in Tuscan is SUPER !!! Don't remember her name, it was over a week ago. She was very nice, professional and pleasant even with 3 other customers in the store. She was very happy, pleasant and moved us through the process effectively. The store in Olympia was well run also. After 3 days of driving all I wanted was to get home. The guys were doing a good job .
