| Pros | Cons |

| No shuttle needed | Smaller vehicle selection than major airports |
| Simple, uncrowded facility | Hours tied to flight schedule (not 24/7) |

On average, car rentals at Flagstaff Airport cost around $81 per day, with the lowest-priced rentals starting at $23 per day.
Compare FLG vs downtown Flagstaff pick-ups – a quick 10-min rideshare into town can beat the airport surcharge on multi-day rentals.
Peak dates? Reserve early (June-Aug, Dec-Jan). Off-peak (Nov, late Jan-Feb) often sees last-minute drops, so keep checking and re-booking if prices fall.
Tweak pickup & drop times – staying under full 24-hour blocks and returning during counter hours can dodge an extra day's charge.
Look at weekly pricing – at FLG a 5-7 day "weekly" rate can cost less than 4-6 separate daily rates.
PHX as a backup – if your itinerary already includes Phoenix flights, the bigger airport's rates and vehicle variety may outweigh the 2.5-hour drive to Flagstaff.
Bring or buy your own extras (car seat, GPS, ice scraper) to skip daily accessory fees that add up fast.

How long does it take to pick up a rental car at FLG?
When it's not busy, it usually takes you 5 to 15 minutes to get your car and drive away. The airport is small, so you won't have to walk far and there are often no lines.
What happens if my flight to Flagstaff is significantly delayed?
You should call your rental company if your flight is delayed by more than an hour or two. Most rental counters watch the flight schedules and will wait for customers who have reservations. However, they might close after the last flight of the day lands.
Do rental cars at FLG come equipped for winter driving?
The standard rental cars have all-season tires, which are usually fine for plowed roads. The rental companies do not provide chains or snow tires. They also offer a limited number of AWD/4WD vehicles, so you should reserve one early for a winter trip.
Is it possible to return a rental car outside business hours?
Yes, all rental companies at FLG let you drop off your car after hours. Just follow the instructions they give you at pickup for returning the key, usually by putting it in a secure drop box. For your own records, take photos of the car's condition and fuel level.
Can I find one-way rentals from FLG to other destinations?
You can often rent a car for a one-way trip to Phoenix for a small fee or no extra charge. One-way rentals to other places like Las Vegas and Albuquerque are also possible, but companies usually add a large fee from $100 to $300.
Do I need any special permits to drive to nearby attractions?
You don't need any special permits to drive to major attractions. However, you will have to pay entrance fees at national parks like the Grand Canyon and Petrified Forest. If you plan to drive in remote areas or the backcountry on tribal lands, you might need to get a specific permit from the correct tribal authorities.
