Fetch your bags stroll out of Tucson, AZ Airport (AVW-Marana Regional), and collect your rental car. Which one you slide into depends on where you want to go. If you’ll be mostly driving in downtown Tucson, around 19 miles from the terminal, choose something small and zippy. A compact car with good maneuverability will suit those bustling city streets. But with a wealth of things to see, like the splendid canyons of the region, there’s a good chance you’ll rack up those miles. A bigger vehicle, like a full-size car or an SUV, will make lengthier road trips more comfortable.
