There are major car rental companies situated at Las Vegas and Flagstaff, and driving yourself to the Grand Canyon gives you the freedom to explore the region and get off the beaten track.

Interstate 40 provides access to the South Rim together with highways 64 and 180, while I-15 from Las Vegas runs past the North Rim.
