Homes and Apartments for Rent – Arizona

The Arizona Motor Vehicle Department is very strict about changing your driver’s license and registering your car as soon as you move here.

Fines for Not Registering Your Car Are Steep

The penalties for driving without a proper license, registration or insurance in Arizona are quite serious. Driving without a license is a class 1 misdemeanor and penalties can include the vehicle being impounded, 48 hours in jail and a court imposed fine of $300 or more.

New residents to the State of Arizona are required to obtain an Arizona driver license and to register their vehicles in this State.

Getting Around the Phoenix Metro Area

Phoenix is a large area but is developed on a N-S-E-W grid system. This means that most streets run parallel and perpendicular to each other. Central Avenue is the dividing line between the east and west sides of the city.

The Phoenix metropolitan area is served several freeways including I-17, I-10, the 101 and US 60. Outer Loops 202 and 303 have been completed. Our (sort of) tongue-in-cheek guide to driving in Phoenix is available for your edification and amusement.
