Our Daily Airport Schedule
What is your daily schedule?
We pick you up on your schedule 24/7. Our professional shuttle drivers are normally 5-10 minutes early at your home, or right on time at the airport. You get to pick the time we pick you up.
What is my pickup time at the airport?
Our shuttle normally picks you up 30 minutes after your plane lands for domestic flights, or 45 minutes after for international flights.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Shuttle pickup times automatically adjust to 30 minutes after you land if your flight is delayed for domestic flights, or 45 minutes after you land for international flights.
What happens if my flight arrives early?
Call or send us a text if you want us to pick you up early, and we will let your shuttle driver know that you are ready to be picked up. Otherwise, we will pick you up at the scheduled time on your reservation.
How soon should I make a shuttle reservation?
Although there is no set rule that prevents you from booking a last minute airport shuttle, it's a good idea to make your shuttle reservation as soon as possible to make sure a shuttle driver is available and prevent any delays.
How long does it take the airport shuttle to go to or from cities in Arizona?
Trips to and from PHX Airport in normal traffic are about 30 minutes versus about an hour on the bus or an airport shuttle with a bunch of people. Long trips outside the valley are normally two hours. Rush hour will normally add 15-45 minutes (30 minutes on the average).
What time should I be picked up?
2 hours before is normally enough time in the valley (within 30 miles of the airport), 3.5-4 hours before is normally enough time is you are coming from further away like Tucson, Sedona, Prescott or Flagstaff. The airport recommends you to be there 2 hours early to get through security and to your plane. Boarding usually starts 30 minutes before your plane takes off. However, one hour and thirty minutes is normally enough time. So if the drive to or from Phoenix Airport in the valley takes about 30 minutes, then 2 hours to 2.5 hours before your flight takes off is normally good.

Airport Transportation Phoenix: Your Complete Guide to Reliable Rides to and from PHX
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) serves as the primary gateway for visitors and residents traveling to the Valley of the Sun. The airport operates two active terminals—Terminal 3 and Terminal 4—and is situated just three miles east of downtown Phoenix, making it easily accessible from surrounding communities.
According to the airport’s official information, PHX features two terminals that handle domestic and international flights. The airport’s location near downtown allows travelers to reach the city center in a short drive, while the Valley Metro light rail’s PHX Sky Train connects the terminals directly to the 44th Street/Washington station, providing an alternative to road‑based transport.
Opting for a dedicated airport shuttle offers several advantages over rideshare apps, taxis, or public transit. Drivers are typically 5‑10 minutes early at your residence or right on schedule at the curb, and they monitor flight status to adjust pickup times automatically. For domestic arrivals, the standard practice is to meet you 30 minutes after the plane lands; for international flights, the wait extends to 45 minutes to accommodate customs and baggage claim.
Travelers can select from a range of vehicles tailored to party size, luggage needs, and comfort preferences. The fleet includes economy shuttles for budget‑conscious riders, black‑car sedans and SUVs for a premium experience, and larger private vans or Sprinters that accommodate up to 14 passengers.
| Vehicle Type | Typical Capacity | Ideal For | Key Amenities |
|---|---|---|---|
| Economy Shuttle | Up to 6 passengers | Solo travelers, couples, small groups | Climate control, basic luggage space |
| Black‑Car Sedan | Up to 4 passengers | Business travelers, couples seeking comfort | Leather interior, complimentary bottled water, Wi‑Fi (if equipped) |
| Black‑Car SUV | Up to 6 passengers | Families, small groups with extra luggage | Spacious cabin, climate control, ample trunk space |
| Private Van | Up to 10 passengers | Medium groups, event transportation | Row seating, overhead storage, climate control |
| Sprinter Van | Up to 14 passengers | Large families, corporate outings, golf trips | High roof, generous cargo area, reclining seats |
Both curbside pickup and meet‑and‑greet options are available at PHX. With curbside service, the driver waits at the designated arrivals zone outside the terminal. Meet‑and‑greet places the driver inside the terminal, which is particularly helpful when you have multiple bags, are traveling with children, or arrive at Terminal 3 or Terminal 4 where the walk to the curb can be longer. All reservations include real‑time flight monitoring; if your flight is delayed, the pickup time is automatically shifted—30 minutes after landing for domestic flights and 45 minutes after landing for international flights—so you never have to worry about missing your ride.
Beyond private shuttles, PHX offers several public options. The Valley Metro PHX Sky Train provides a free connection between the terminals and the 44th Street/Washington light rail station, where you can board Valley Metro trains heading toward downtown Phoenix, Mesa, or Tempe. Local bus routes also serve the airport, though travel times can be longer—typically around an hour during normal traffic—and may involve transfers. Rideshare services are available at the curbside zones, but fares vary with demand and do not include the guaranteed early‑arrival advantage of a pre‑scheduled shuttle.
The airport’s proximity to major highways makes ground travel predictable. Phoenix Sky Harbor is about three miles east of downtown Phoenix, which typically translates to a 10‑15‑minute drive under normal conditions. For travelers heading to central Scottsdale, the distance is roughly 12 miles; using Loop 202 (Red Mountain Freeway) and Loop 101 (Agua Fria Freeway) the drive usually takes 20‑30 minutes, though rush hour can add 15‑45 minutes, with an average delay of about 30 minutes. Trips to Tempe or Mesa via the Loop 202 or US‑60 generally fall within a similar 20‑35‑minute window, depending on traffic and the exact origin.
Reservations can be made online, by phone, or through the company’s mobile app. When booking online, entering the promo code “ONLINE” secures a 10 % discount on round‑trip journeys. The service offers a flexible “Any Two Addresses 24/7” option for non‑airport point‑to‑point travel anywhere within Arizona, allowing you to schedule a ride between any two locations at any hour. All vehicles are operated by professional drivers who, according to the company's records, have accumulated more than ten years of experience behind the wheel.
