Game-Day and Holiday Pickups, On Your Schedule

What is your daily schedule?

We pick you up on your schedule 24/7 through the entire holiday stretch, from the December 26 bowl game in Tempe through the Fiesta Bowl on December 30 and New Year's Eve. Our drivers are normally 5-10 minutes early at your hotel, home or Sky Harbor, and airport pickups adjust automatically if your flight is delayed.

What is my pickup time at the airport?

We normally pick you up 30 minutes after your plane lands for domestic flights, or 45 minutes after for international flights. Bowl-week arrivals at Sky Harbor are heavy - reserve ahead so a driver is waiting when you land.

Can you take us to Decadence Arizona after midnight?

Yes. The festival at Phoenix Raceway runs late both nights, December 30-31, well past the close of Valley transit. Book a round trip or a separate one-way and we will pick your group up whenever the show ends.

How soon should I make a reservation?

As soon as your team's bowl destination is set. December 30, 2026 stacks three big demand drivers - the Fiesta Bowl, the Decadence festival and New Year's Eve travelers - and that week's availability goes first.

How long does it take to get to State Farm Stadium?

From Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport it is about 20 miles to State Farm Stadium in Glendale, typically 25-35 minutes in normal traffic. Game-day traffic on the Loop 101 adds time, so we build the pickup around kickoff - a private ride drops your party at the gate instead of a parking-lot search.

Shuttle to the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl and Arizona Bowl Season

Phoenix closes out the college football season with a stacked December 2026 slate, and we run private, door-to-door shuttle service for every stop on it: the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl College Football Playoff quarterfinal at State Farm Stadium, the Cactus Bowl in Tempe, the Decadence Arizona festival at Phoenix Raceway, and New Year's Eve across the Valley. Skip the $50 event lots, the rideshare surge and the midnight wait - one flat, per-vehicle quote covers your whole party.

December 2026 Bowl Season & Holiday Events

  • Saturday, December 26, 2026 - Cactus Bowl (formerly the Rate Bowl) at Mountain America Stadium in Tempe.
  • Wednesday, December 30, 2026, 5:30 p.m. MST - Vrbo Fiesta Bowl, College Football Playoff quarterfinal, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale.
  • Wednesday-Thursday, December 30-31, 2026 - Decadence Arizona music festival at Phoenix Raceway in Avondale, both nights running past midnight.
  • Thursday, December 31, 2026 - New Year's Eve: late-night pickups Valley-wide, 24/7.

Getting to State Farm Stadium

State Farm Stadium sits at 1 Cardinals Drive in Glendale, about 20 miles from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport and roughly 25 minutes from downtown Phoenix hotels in normal traffic. On Fiesta Bowl game day the Loop 101 backs up for hours, stadium lots fill early and tailgating areas require passes. A private shuttle handles the drive both ways - your party is dropped at the gate and picked up at a set point after the final whistle, no circling for a spot, no surge multiplier at midnight.

Flying in for the game? Phoenix airport shuttle with flight-tracked pickups covers the airport leg, and our Phoenix to Glendale shuttle page covers the Glendale corridor.

Tempe Bowl Game & Decadence Arizona Rides

The Cactus Bowl on December 26 lands at Mountain America Stadium in Tempe, about 9 miles from Sky Harbor and a 15-minute ride from most East Valley hotels - see our Phoenix to Tempe shuttle page for that corridor. Decadence Arizona is the harder logistics problem: Phoenix Raceway in Avondale sits more than 30 miles from central Phoenix with no transit connection, and both festival nights end well after midnight. A private round trip gets your group there and home at a flat rate, booked before the New Year's Eve surge hits.

Why Book a Private Shuttle for Bowl Season

  • Flat quote before you book - the rate you approve is the rate you pay, with no NYE surge multipliers.
  • Private vehicle - your party only; no shared van with strangers and extra stops.
  • Late-night coverage - Fiesta Bowl final whistle, Decadence after-hours and NYE pickups run 24/7.
  • Round trips save 10% - book the game both ways and save each way.
