Travel Note

Transportation

Renting a car can be a good option for exploring Phoenix and its surrounding areas depending on your situation. Alternatively, we recommend rideshare services like Uber and Lyft, which are readily available for convenient transportation all around the Valley. You can also try Waymo, a fully autonomous ride-hailing service available in parts of the Phoenix metro area. Since there’s no driver, it’s a great option if you prefer a quiet ride without having to talk to anyone.

Travel Note

Weather Tips

Phoenix/Scottsdale can be warm, especially during the day in November. Consider packing lightweight clothing, sunscreen, and sunglasses. Evenings can be cooler, so bring a light jacket or sweater.
