Target the desert summer (Jun-Aug) if your travel dates are flexible. Temps soar but rental prices dip to their yearly lows, and hotel pools have A/C anyway.
Lock in early for Feb-Mar events (Spring Training, golf tournaments). Inventory vanishes fast, so grab a cancellable rate now and keep price-watching with our site.
