Top tips for renting a car in Grand Canyon National Park

  • If you’d like to drive car rentals at the Grand Canyon with children in the car, ensure that you follow all car seat laws and have the proper safety seats installed. Children younger than eight or shorter than 4 feet 9 inches tall have to ride in booster seats. Toddlers also have to be in child safety seats, and all children must ride in the back seat of the car. Distracted driving or speeding in the Grand Canyon area can lead to a ticket or serious trouble.
  • Extreme weather conditions and natural disasters are rare at the Grand Canyon. You’ll usually experience cold winters and pleasant summers. If you are visiting during the summer, you should definitely look for car rentals with air conditioning, or possibly convertible cars. A window shade on the car rental, especially during the summer, can also help keep it cool. The Grand Canyon region also experiences a monsoon season in the summer. Heavy rains, dust storms, and heavy winds can affect visibility when driving car rentals in the Grand Canyon, so you should avoid the roads when the weather is bad during this season.
  • Parking is not hard to find when driving car rentals in the Grand Canyon region. There are several parking lots in the visitor center and the Grand Canyon Village. Avoid parking along the roadside when parking in the Grand Canyon area unless indicated by signs or lines. Parking garages and metered street parking are also available.
  • When you drive car rentals at the Grand Canyon, it is important to consider local DUI laws. Arizona does not tolerate driving under the influence. If you are caught drunk driving, you may face a steep fine. If you encounter emergency vehicles on the road, move to the side of the road to give space for the vehicle to pass.
  • Book your rental car in Grand Canyon National Park at least 3 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
