Well that depends where you’re planning to go. Downtown San Tan Valley, about 16 miles from Chandler, AZ Airport (CHD-Chandler Municipal), can be difficult to drive around. Keep things easy by opting for something small, fuel-efficient, and simple to handle. Take into consideration that San Tan Valley is a handy base from which to explore some of the canyons in Pinal County. If your vacation is more about cruising down highways, then you may prefer something with a little more trunk space and extra legroom. How about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
