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

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!

What an incredible experience with DP Fleet! If you’re looking for a Corvette C8 Z51, I can’t recommend this rental enough. The car was absolutely amazing — incredibly clean, spotless inside and out, and everything about it felt like a true dream car experience. The C8 Z51 is an absolute blast to drive! The entire rental process was extremely smooth from beginning to end. Pickup was super convenient and located right off the Sky Train drop-off, which made getting the car after arriving at the airport incredibly easy. DP Fleet was fantastic to work with — very accommodating, extremely responsive, and communication was excellent throughout the entire rental. They made everything simple and stress-free. The Corvette was the highlight of the trip, and I would 100% rent from DP Fleet again.

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 car drove very smoothly, and the entire rental process was incredibly easy. I also loved not having to worry about a security deposit like with many other rental companies. I needed a rental because the A/C in my personal car stopped working, and this one definitely didn’t disappoint. The A/C got ice cold even on the first fan setting, which was a huge plus in the Arizona heat! The owner was very kind, responsive, and quick to answer any questions or concerns I had. I would definitely rent from them again. 🙂

Really enjoyed this car! It was super clean, in great condition, and so much fun to drive. I’d never driven a Type R before, and it honestly ended up being one of my favorite parts of the trip. Such a cool car and a great experience all around. I’d definitely rent it again!

From pick to dropoff this was the most conveient car rental experience that we have ever had! Jason took the time to go over the cars features so we felt very comfortable. He met us at the airport at pickup and dropoff right on time. I should mention the car was also very clean and drove perfectly. Communication was instant.

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.

Fantastic rental experience from start to finish! The car was clean, comfortable, reliable, and fuel-efficient. It was perfect for our trip in Arizona and handled all the long drives from the South to the North. The host was excellent and responsive. We did have an issue where we needed a tire change and I was impressed with Jon's quick replies as he guided me through it, making it smooth and stress-free. Overall, the communication was top tier and pick-up and drop-off was super easy. Highly recommend! I would definitely rent from this host again.

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.
