Tucson, Arizona is known by and large for its stark natural beauty, close proximity to a variety of national parks celebrating deserts, rock formations, canyons, immense cave formations and more. The city is also home to a number of shrines, Catholic missions, museums and a surprisingly vibrant art and music scene, making it a great travel location for couples, families and lone travelers alike. Many of the national parks are sprawling drive-through areas, which requires you to lease a Tucson airport car rental before you travel through the state, and a set of wheels can make vacation logistics infinitely more manageable. Thriving local businesses have made Tucson a unique city, with plenty of mom-and-pop stores selling local foods, crafts, books and other trinkets and souvenirs that you won't find anywhere else.

Tucson International Airport (TUS), located six miles south of the city, contains two concourses, is the second busiest airport in Arizona, and is a relatively minor airport in the United States. Nevertheless, visitors flying in to Tucson will be impressed at the size and relative spaciousness of travel through the airport and will be pleased at the ease with which they can find TUS airport car rentals, as Tucson International used to see somewhat more traffic than it does today. Despite being termed an "international airport," Tucson's airport only serves seventeen locations within the country from eight major airlines, though it still operates as a working base for the Air National Guard. Some travelers take a flight into busier Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) and drive down to Tucson, while other business and private travelers fly in to La Cholla Airpark or Ryan Airfield. You can book your Tucson airport car rental directly at the airport or you can book in advance.
There are many national parks that travelers to Tucson should see, from the Saguaro National Park to look at the iconic giant cactus to the Kartchner Caverns State Park, one of the largest limestone caverns in the world, and many more. All of the parks are extremely well taken care of and kept in pristine natural condition, making this one of the premier locations in the United States to book a TUS car rental and see desert, canyon and cavern landscapes. For the young or young at heart, Tucson is home to an excellent, quirky magic show, the Carnival of Illusion, whose simultaneous intimacy and wonder rivals the spectacle of major magic shows in Las Vegas. Taking place every Friday and Saturday at 6:30 PM and at 8:00 PM at the Doubletree Hotel Tucson at Reid Park, make sure you book well in advance, as this show has received national attention and is likely to be sold out! Finally, western history buffs should be sure to visit the Mission San Xavier del Bac, also known as the "White Dove of the Desert." This mission is known for its pure white exterior stone facades as well as its elaborately muralled interior, and is part art museum, part religious pilgrimage site and part historical attraction. Whether you book TUS airport car rentals beforehand or whether you book at the Tucson airport information desk, consider planning for your Tucson vacation today!
