From booking to pickup, enjoying the vehicle, and returning it, the entire experience was seamless from start to finish! Everything was easy, convenient, and exactly what you hope for when renting a vehicle. The process was straightforward, communication was great, and there were no hassles or surprises along the way. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Turo made the entire rental process incredibly smooth and stress-free, and I would absolutely use it again. If you’re looking for a convenient, reliable, and hassle-free car rental experience, I highly recommend Turo! Five stars all the way! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Great turo host. I've rented for months with Chen. He goes above and beyond with services. This is the type of turo host that we should rent our cars. Luxury cars with the best customer service. Better than other rental cars

I rented one of the cheapest cars available, and I’d say I got pretty much what I expected for the price. It’s a 2014 that feels like it’s lived hard, but it’s still out there doing exactly what it was made to do. It got me from the airport to Peoria and back, along with a couple trips to Chase Field, and was an inexpensive way to get around town. Pickup and drop-off were super simple, and the host was very responsive anytime I messaged. Just set your expectations accordingly with the car itself. This probably isn’t the car I’d choose if I were looking for a comfortable family ride or planning a long road trip like the Grand Canyon. It was great for a baseball showcase with my son though. It’s definitely showing its age in a number of ways. The A/C still blows cold, but it doesn’t have quite the cooling power of a newer car, so if temperatures are expected to be well over 100°, that’s something to keep in mind. If your priority is simply getting around town as cheaply as possible, though, it does the job. It’s an older, well-used car at a very low price, and I think that’s the right expectation going into the rental. My one complaint with the rental process was the expectation that the car be washed and vacuumed before returning it. They provide access to a car wash through their membership, so there’s no additional cost, but the return instructions do warn of a potential cleaning charge if it isn’t done. I would have preferred not to have to build a trip through the car wash into my return to the airport, so that’s something future renters should be aware of. Overall, the rental worked well for what I needed, the host was easy to work with, and I’d definitely look at renting from them again the next time I’m in Phoenix.

This was my very first experience with Turo and overall an online no contact car rental, and my host was Blanca who was very nice and pleasant to deal with. The tank was filled up upon pick up and because I didn’t pay for the tank option, I filled the tank back up before drop-off as per instructions. It was a relief to not have to wait in line or fill out paperwork after a long flight and have the car waiting for me! The instructions were easy to follow and I appreciate the ability to message the host at anytime. The only negatives were that the usb port was loose so my Apple play kept getting disconnected and it’s rather dangerous to have to fiddle with it for it to connect again while I’m driving and the other issue was the windshield wipers were terrible in the rain, they skipped and often made visibility worse which was rather terrifying at night during the multiple storms we had over the 2 weeks I had the car. Other than those 2 things my trip was smooth and I would still recommend Turo to others.

Directions were very precise for both pick up and return (although I didn't realize there was an additional step to checkout in Turo). Car drove great and it was perfect for our trip. Will definitely rent via Jonathan if we are back in PHX. Better experience than renting from the big car rental companies

The location and host were good and easy to work with but I had absolutely not idea how the Turo model worked. Pickup was easy enough but I didn't like receiving multiple emails to retrieve the car, it was for "secure" purposes but a single email would have been preferred. Return was not nearly as easy, but that was probably because I turned in a day earlier than expected due to taking an earlier flight and not receiving the how-to return email before turning in, and despite asking Turo workers how it worked at the office, they were not clear. They just told me to park anywhere and since my only experience was with rental cars, I left it unlocked with the keys in the car (like you do at rental car places) because it still needed to be vacuumed before it should be rented or again - honestly, I don't even know if I should have had to do that before returning?). I did notify the host of that after I was back at the airport but he was clearly annoyed that I didn't understand how Turo worked. I'm not sure I would use Turo again, I didn't like the experience myself, mostly due to my own ignorance of how it worked, but it wasn't great. This particular car wasn't great, base model, no butt warmers, no get up and go (sluggish acceleration as a 4 cylinder car), but otherwise sufficient for my needs - good on gas mileage, room for luggage.

The car is in older condition, but I am still rating it high because it was perfect for what I needed, the communication was great, and the customer service was excellent. For the price, this is a good rental. Sure the seats are a little stained, there are some scratches on the car, and the tire pressure light was on (probably due to the large temperature fluctuations in AZ), but that means you don't have to be too worried that someone is going to touch it. When I first got the car, the remote and drivers side unlock button wouldn't unlock the other doors, but it somehow started working again later that day. The passenger side door lock is missing a plastic piece, but it still works. The windshield wipers worked perfectly in the rain. Again, don't expect a brand new car - just a solid car that will get you where you need to go, along with great communication and customer service. I would rent from Joshua again anytime!

From start to finish, this was by far one of the BEST car rental experiences I’ve ever had. Pickup was quick and hassle-free, and Gio went above and beyond assisting with all my questions with outstanding quick response time 24/7. The vehicle was spotless, well-maintained, and drove like it was brand new. It was exactly as advertised, and I appreciated the attention to detail—from the cleanliness to the full tank of gas and the excellent condition of the car. What really stood out was the customer service. Gio was friendly, professional, and genuinely cared about providing a great experience. He answered all of my questions (especially when it came to navigating the dumpster fire of TURO customer service, ) made the process seamless, and made me feel like a valued customer rather than just another reservation. Returning the vehicle was just as easy as pickup, with no hidden fees, surprises, or unnecessary delays. It’s refreshing to find a company that delivers exactly what they promise. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent from them again and will absolutely recommend them to family, friends, and anyone looking for a reliable, honest, and stress-free car rental experience. Five stars all the way!

Toyota Prius Prime 2017

Car Quality was very good, great gas mileage and drove smoothly, Host was very responsive and helpful. I had to communicate by text and phone call with host more than usual due to my Turo phone app not working very well on my device. The lot where the car was picked up and dropped off was good due to having an easy shuttle to and from the airport, but the spaces did not appear to have individual numbers on the pavement. However, The driver gave me a ticket to identify the space in the lot where the car was put on the shuttle parking lot and I text the its picture and other pictures to the host via text message. My turo app would not accept input for space identification. I do recommend this as a good host to rent a car from!

Car was great! It is off site from airport but a short uber ride away. Families in our group got rental cars from big name companies on site at PHX and it took them much longer to get to the rental car center only to wait in line. We walked right up, signed, grabbed the keys and started our vacation.

Who is monthly car rental in Tempe for?

Just relocated to Tempe

You landed a new job near ASU, at State Farm's Marina Heights hub, or with one of the South Tempe employers, and the whole city still feels new. Before you commit to buying, you want to learn your commute, test a few routes, and see where you'll actually live. An extended car rental Tempe newcomers can book by the month lets you settle in first and decide later.

Lease just ended or you just sold your car

Your lease wrapped up, or you sold your car and haven't replaced it yet. You don't want to rush into another loan or a used car you're not sure about. A monthly rental bridges the gap on your terms, and you can extend for as long as you need while you figure out your next move — no pressure, no penalties.

Extended work assignment or traveling professional

You're in Tempe for a defined stretch — a travel nursing contract, a build project, or a few months of remote or project-based work. Booking daily adds up fast, but a monthly rental gives you more competitive pricing for stays like these. Reserve the car for your assignment, extend if the timeline shifts, and keep your budget predictable the whole time.

Post-college or first car

You just finished at ASU, home to roughly 55,500 students, and you're not ready to lock into a car loan. Your credit history is still thin, your budget is tight, and you're not sure where you'll land next. A monthly rental lets you drive exactly what you need right now, skip the down payment, and keep your options open while life takes shape.

Pickup locations for monthly car rental in Tempe

Purple squiggle

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX)

Flying in to start an extended stay? PHX is a short drive from Tempe, so a monthly or long-term rental near the airport puts you behind the wheel soon after you land. You'll arrange your car through the Turo app and coordinate the details before you arrive, rather than waiting at a curbside counter in the terminal.

Tempe Town Lake and the Rio Salado business corridor

The Rio Salado corridor around Tempe Town Lake packs in offices and daily commuters, including the State Farm hub at Marina Heights. If you're working in this stretch for a few months, a monthly rental means a dependable car for your daily drive without the cost and commitment of buying one just to get to the office.

South Tempe and the Warner-Elliot Loop

South Tempe blends quiet residential streets with major employers at the ASU Research Park and Discovery Business Campus. If you're commuting to a job in this area or living nearby for a defined stretch, a monthly rental gives you a reliable everyday car — ready when you need it, with none of the long-term strings.

Top tips for monthly car rental in Tempe

A few Tempe-specific pointers help you book the right car at the right price. Here's what to know before you reserve a monthly rental.

Finding the best deal

Use the duration filter to set your dates, then let the pricing work for you. Trips of 30 days or more unlock the deepest discounts, and shorter stretches of seven and 14 days also come with reduced rates. Browse by price to match your budget, and book in advance to lock in the best selection.

How to pick a car

In Tempe's heat, fuel efficiency and reliable AC matter for your daily commute, so weigh those first. Then think about comfort for time behind the wheel and how much cargo or passenger room you need. Everyday cars — sedans, compact SUVs, and hatchbacks — tend to give you the most value for a monthly rental.

Road rules and conditions in Tempe

Loop 101, Loop 202, and US-60 frame Tempe and connect you to the wider Phoenix metro. Freeways here are posted around 65 mph, while surface streets run lower, so always follow the posted signs. Summers get hot, so keep an eye on your AC and stay ready for long, sunny drives.

Parking in Tempe

For a monthly stay, look past short-stay meters and plan for the long haul. Residential permit zones can cover street parking where you're staying, and monthly garage or lot rates near ASU and downtown Tempe often beat paying by the hour. Sorting parking out early saves you money and hassle across a longer rental.

Toll roads in Tempe

Good news here — Arizona has no toll roads. Tempe and the rest of the Phoenix metro are completely toll-free, so you can drive Loop 101, Loop 202, US-60, and every surface street without a single toll to plan around or pay. That's one less cost to track across your monthly rental.

Gas and EV charging in Tempe

Gas stations are easy to find along Tempe's main roads and freeway exits, so filling up rarely means going far out of your way. If you book an electric car, plan your charging around stops near ASU, downtown, and the shopping centers along the loops. Either way, a fuel-efficient pick keeps your monthly costs down in the desert heat.

Types of cars available in Tempe

You'll find plenty of practical, everyday options for a monthly rental in Tempe. Reliable sedans, fuel-efficient compacts, and family-friendly SUVs cover most needs, with familiar makes like Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, and Kia in the mix. Pick the size and fuel economy that fit your commute, and you'll have a dependable car for the whole stay.


Picking a monthly car rental in Tempe that fits your budget

Whether you want to rent a car for a month in Tempe or stay for several months, rentals on Turo get cheaper the longer you book. Trips of 30 days or more unlock the deepest discounts, and many listings also offer reduced rates for seven-day and 14-day bookings. About 60% of available monthly supply in Tempe is priced under $800 per month, with a median around $1,300 per month. You'll see the total price before you book — no hidden fees, no surprise charges at the end.

Frequently asked questions about monthly car rental in Tempe

Is there a credit check to rent a monthly car in Tempe?

No. A monthly car rental in Tempe on Turo doesn't require a credit check, so your credit history won't hold you back or add a hard inquiry. You'll go through a quick approval to book, then you're set to drive — no loan application and no long-term financial commitment.

Can I extend my monthly car rental in Tempe if I need the car for longer?

Yes. If your plans in Tempe change, you can request to extend your monthly car rental right in the Turo app. It's a good idea to extend as early as you can so the car stays available for the full stretch you need, and you'll keep the flexibility to book for as long as it makes sense.

Can I swap my car during a monthly rental in Tempe?

Yes. If your needs shift partway through a monthly rental in Tempe — say you want better fuel economy or more room — you can book a different car that fits. Browse the available listings, reserve the one you want, and adjust your plans so the right vehicle carries you through the rest of your stay.

What documents do I need to rent a car for a month in Tempe?

To rent a car for a month in Tempe, you'll need a valid driver's license and an accepted payment method, plus a Turo account you've been approved to book with. Have your license ready when you set up your account so approval goes smoothly and you're cleared to drive on time.

What kind of license do I need for a monthly car rental in Tempe?

For a monthly car rental in Tempe, you'll need a valid, current driver's license. Visitors from outside the US can generally drive with a license issued by their home country, though requirements vary, so check the details when you book. Keep your license on you whenever you're behind the wheel in Tempe.

How does car rental on Turo work in Tempe?

Car rental on Turo in Tempe is completely digital. You browse available cars in the app, book the one that fits your dates and budget, and coordinate pickup or delivery details before your trip starts. Then you drive for your full monthly term, and you manage everything — extensions, questions, and changes — right from your phone.

Is there unlimited mileage on a monthly car rental in Tempe?

Monthly rentals in Tempe include a daily mileage allowance, and any distance beyond it is charged at a set per-mile rate you'll see up front. If you expect a lot of driving, use the "Unlimited distance" filter to find cars with no mileage cap so you can roam Tempe and beyond without watching the odometer.

Can I get discounts on a monthly car rental in Tempe?

Yes. The longer you book, the more you save on a monthly car rental in Tempe. Trips of 30 days or more unlock the deepest discounts, and seven-day and 14-day bookings come with reduced rates too. Use the duration filter to set your dates, and you'll see the discounted total before you commit.

Can other people drive my monthly rental car in Tempe?

Yes. Additional drivers can share your monthly rental car in Tempe once they're added and approved. You handle this yourself in the Turo app rather than through anyone else, so add your extra drivers before the trip starts and make sure each one meets the requirements to be approved to drive.

Is monthly car rental on Turo cheaper than leasing a car?

It often can be, especially if you need a car for one to three months rather than years. A lease usually means a down payment, a fixed monthly payment, and maintenance costs on top. A monthly rental in Tempe gives you transparent all-in pricing with no down payment and no long contract, so for shorter, flexible stretches the total cost can come in lower than committing to a lease.
