That depends where you’re planning to go. Downtown Tucson, about 7 miles from Tucson, AZ Airport (TUS-Tucson Intl.), can be difficult to drive in. Keep things easy by choosing something compact, fuel-efficient, and simple to operate. Take into consideration that Tucson is an excellent base to explore many of the canyons around Pima County. If your escape is more about clocking up those miles, you may want something with a little more trunk space and legroom. How about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
