Car Rentals in Tucson, Arizona

Tucson car rentals, like most other city car rentals, give the highest preference to booking a vehicle with a credit card. That doesn’t mean you’re out of luck if you don’t have a credit card, it just means that you may have to take some extra steps before booking a car before getting to the rental location, even for cheap rental cars in Tucson. For example, if you want to use your debit card to rent a car, you will have to prove plenty of funds in your account to cover the cost of the rental, or you may need additional documents such as extra forms of identification, a bill with your name and address, or even a credit check. For cash, which most car rentals in Tucson do not accept, but for those that do, you may need to fill out an application online for a cash deposit identification card. You’ll need to check which companies offer this as an option before arriving at the car rental place, as this application can take some time.

In Arizona, if you drive distracted, you could be in trouble. Not only does Arizona have a cell phone ban while driving, which means no handheld devices while operating a motorized vehicle, but other activities could end up with a hefty fine. For instance, you could receive a citation for eating, applying makeup, or any other distracting activity, especially if you’re speeding. You will also want to be familiar with how to drive through traffic circles, which aren’t so common in the U.S. but have grown in popularity in Arizona. Also, if you hear the sirens of an emergency vehicle, you must pull safely out of the lane enough for them to pass. Lastly, although car rentals in Tucson should know this, make sure the frame around the license plate is not covering any information on the plate itself, as that will get you a citation in Arizona.
