Thread: Rental Car in PHX? Possible walk down Buckeye...

These high fees started years ago when the new stadium was being built. When the cost had been paid for, the fees (suprise!) never went away. Sky Harbor is definitely one of the most expensive - fee wise - airports to pick up a car in the country. If staying in the downtown Phoenix or Tempe area, the light rail leaves from the airport now. Anywhere else, check the cost to rent a car at the airport vs. going to your destination by taxi or Supershuttle and renting a car there. In my opinion, if you are renting for up to 4 days, picking up from the airport is worth it. If you are going to be here a week or more, it is way too expensive.

By the way, this story is not big on the local news so we have no updated information about it.
