Renting a car in Peoria, Arizona, is presented as an option for local transportation, regional trips, and travel from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX). Uber Rent lets users compare and book vehicles from participating rental companies, including Budget, Hertz, and Avis, through the Uber app or online, although availability varies by location. The booking process covers entering pickup and dropoff details, reserving a vehicle, collecting it with a driver’s license and payment method, and returning it to the listed location; reservation details appear in the app and confirmation email. The source advises matching vehicle type and rental duration to the trip, reviewing base rates and extra fees, and checking requirements such as a minimum age of 18, a physical credit card in the primary driver’s name, and supplier-specific conditions.
