We walked directly across to SIXT, rented a SUV, and walked by the Budget line and saw that I'd still be in line. In retrospect, I could've saved over an hour of time by going to SIXT first!

I rented a SUV from Costco membership in budget Phoenix airport car rental center. When we arrive,…read moreno line, so i was able to get to the counter to process immediately. The thing surprised me is that they need to charge a 650 dollar deposit, i never experienced such thing. This is my very first time using budget, mostly i use National, never need to pay deposit. So a week later, when i return the car, i asked about my deposit, the lady said yeah, no problem, the 200 dollar deposit will be returned. I got really confused. Now the deposit is no longer 650? Very confusing!

Ended up sitting around in the airport waiting for far longer than expected. General areas look…read moregood. Wish there were more charging areas after security. Most charging area are outside security. What I didnt like was that we have to exit security to access the sky trains. But i understand that is needed to allow both populations ( pre and post security) to access the sky trains. Terminal 4 has a lot of stuff after security and less choices before security- this is the same to be said of T3. Overall, decent airport. Maybe they can consider stronger aircon - and maybe air purifier in the sitting areas. When the weather is hot, there are also some strange smells lurking in the airport.

Unfortunately the bathrooms that I visited were not well maintained. Also the water dispensers serve warm water which is gross in a city this consistently hot. Would be nice if the airport featured some/more local art, which would make it more unique and reflective of the city, as I didn't see any on this trip.

We arrived in PHX at 7:30. A few minutes later we were at Fox picking up our car. We had made our…read morereservation two months earlier. The pick up process was relatively straightforward. The attendants were friendly. After a few minutes we had our car. The outside of the vehicle looked like it was washed but not dried so there were many spots which made if difficult to see if the car had dings or scratches before we left. Upon stopping at our first destination, I noticed a few small scratches and a ding on the driver side's door but didn't think much of it. The car, a Hyundai Santa Fe served us well for the week we were in Arizona. Very comfortable for four adults and luggage. Upon our return of the vehicle, the attendant pointed out the ding and I explained that the car was not very clean and the parking garage was a bit dark which made it hard to see any dings until we stopped and were able to see it in the daylight. Thankfully, we were not charged any extra fees on our rental. I recommend looking over any rental vehicle for damage very carefully especially when it is hard to see because the car is in a garage that may not have the best lighting.

We used Costco to book a rental at PHX. There were at least 200 people trying to get cars at the…read moreBudget counter. We went down to the fast lane to find a Costco Line where there were at least 15 people in front of us. When we finally got to an agent, we were assigned a car. As we walked to the car, we realized there were people in the car and they drove away. BACK to the agent and after 1 1/2 hours, we drove out. Will Be very wary of COSTCO rentals and will not do BUDGET again. Awful

I figured that I could just buy an adapter, however all the shops were charging exorbitantly high prices for adapters. I wish airports would require shops to sell at street prices.
