I've actually found PHX rates reasonable previously. But this time it's actually cheaper to take the shuttle to Flagstaff (where I am headed) and rent there. But my flight arrival time makes the shuttle extremely inconvenient.
In-town location does save TONS of money - I've done that before when I flew into FLG. But those locations tend to close at 5pm or so - after my flight arrives. Not a problem in FLG, as I'm staying there anyhow and just ride taxi from airport and pick up the car the next AM. But don't want to spend an un-necessary night in Phoenix if I can possibly help it.
Thanks for the thread pointer CMK10 - Advantage doesn't look too bad.
