Rent a car in Scottsdale on Turo

Scottsdale doesn’t do subtle. It does sunshine, wide roads, and a quiet expectation that you’ve got a set of wheels. Renting a car in Scottsdale gives you the freedom to move between poolside mornings, gallery afternoons, and desert sunsets without negotiating rides or waiting on transportation schedules. With rental cars on Turo, you can choose something that matches your trip, whether that’s polished, powerful, or effortlessly practical.

Once you’re driving, the city makes sense quickly. Old Town Scottsdale, Talking Stick, and nearby desert escapes all feel close, even when the heat says otherwise. If you’re planning a car rental in Scottsdale for a business stay, a long weekend, or a full-on Arizona escape, having your own rental car turns “we’ll see” into “we’re going.”

Chevrolet Volt 2017

The car was nice and smooth ride. I wasn't familiar with the electric part of the car but the car ran on gasoline too so everything was great. When I dropped off car my phone wouldn't charge so I had to leave the keys in a different place. The host was most accommodating to my dilemma and accepted the car. I had a great time driving this car and I would rent again and recommend this car rental host to my friends too Thank you Terissa

This was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Picking up and returning the car was incredibly easy and hassle-free. I ended up extending my trip, and the process of updating and adjusting the reservation for the additional days was seamless. The vehicle was great, communication was excellent, and everything exceeded my expectations. I would absolutely book again in the future. Thank you so much for making the entire experience so smooth and enjoyable!

Fantastic experience. I’ve rented about 100 cars on Turo and never have had such an amazing rental process. This host goes above and beyond. A rock hit the windshield and cracked it while I was driving. I was expecting a lot to pay out of pocket but ended up only having to pay 50$! The host even offered to split the cost with me to bring it down to 25. He also gave me a free ride at the beginning and end of the trip. The car was super nice and fun to drive!

This was my first time renting a car through Turo and I was very nervous! Drusilla was truly a dream come true!! I tried to rent a car to have ready at the airport through Eairent and it was horrible experience and the had no more cars left when i arrived! But Drusilla saved the day for me!! She was able to have her car delivered to my hotel the same day! She also was able to help me extend my trip another two hours before returning the vehicle. This trip was off to a rough start, but the second I got on Turo and found Drusilla everything turned around! She was so kind and supportive and made my time in AZ so much smoother. THANK YOU Drusilla!!!!

Rent a car and explore Scottsdale, AZ

Things to do and places to see in Scottsdale, AZ

Scottsdale is where desert landscapes meet design, dining, and just enough indulgence. A rental car lets you bounce between town and trail without committing to one vibe all day. Start with Old Town Scottsdale, OdySea Aquarium, and the wide-open beauty of the Sonoran Desert.

Rent the perfect car
Scottsdale, AZ

Old Town Scottsdale

Old Town Scottsdale is equal parts art, nightlife, shopping, and people-watching. A rental car makes popping in and out easy, especially when parking garages fill and plans change by the hour. Come for dinner, stay for the galleries, leave before the music gets loud. Locals know timing matters.

OdySea Aquarium

OdySea Aquarium is one of Scottsdale’s most popular family-friendly stops, and it’s an easy drive from just about anywhere in town. Having a rental car keeps arrival times flexible and makes juggling kids, snacks, and schedules far less dramatic. It’s educational, air-conditioned, and very welcome on hot afternoons.

Sonoran Desert and nearby trails

The Sonoran Desert is right there, and skipping it would be a mistake. With a rental car, you can head toward trailheads, scenic drives, or even into Tonto National Forest without overthinking logistics. SUVs shine here, especially if your plans include hiking boots and early starts. Bring water, always.

Top tips for renting a car in Scottsdale


Scottsdale driving is mostly relaxed, but the sun is not messing around. Build extra time into your plans, especially during peak traffic hours, and double-check your reservation details before arrival. Desert cities reward preparation.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Scottsdale?


Speed limits are clearly posted, and traffic flows steadily on major roads like Scottsdale Road and Indian Bend. Rush hour builds during business days, particularly near Old Town and major intersections. Watch for cyclists and pedestrians, especially in central areas. The sun can be blinding at certain angles, so bring sunglasses along for the ride.


What is parking like in Scottsdale?


Parking is generally easy, with garages and street options throughout Old Town and shopping districts. Resorts and restaurants often validate parking, but always check signage. Compared to larger cities, parking here is refreshingly reasonable.


Are there toll roads in Scottsdale?


There are no toll roads in Scottsdale or most of the surrounding Phoenix area. Driving is pretty straightforward, and routes are well signed. One less thing to think about.

Gas stations are everywhere, particularly along Shea Boulevard and major roads. EV charging stations are also widely available around shopping centers and hotels. Whether you’re driving a Tesla Model 3 or a full-size SUV, staying powered up is simple.


Do I need to rent a car in Scottsdale?

How does car rental insurance work on Turo?

On each trip, you’re covered with third-party automobile liability insurance provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company.*

Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit — you’ll need to check on each rental car individually to see if this service is provided. On the vehicle pages, you’ll see the total miles or kilometres you’re allowed to drive under the heading “Distance included.” You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the “Unlimited distance” filter.

Can other people drive the car that I rented?

Yes, multiple guests can drive the car you rent on Turo, as long as they are all approved to drive. The primary driver (whoever rented the car) can add additional drivers with no fees or additional charges. Only the primary driver can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

Prefer electric? The Tesla Model 3 fits right in. Whether you’re cruising town or heading into the open desert, there’s a Scottsdale ride that suits the mood.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet.

The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.

For questions or information about the third party liability insurance that is included in protection plans, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency.
