Our Daily 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 hotel, or right on time at Sky Harbor. You get to pick the time we pick you up.
What is my pickup time at the airport?
We normally pick you up 30 minutes after your plane lands for domestic flights, or 45 mins after for international flights.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Home pickup and drop off times automatically adjust to 30 minutes after you land if your flight is delayed for domestic flights, or 45 mins 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 reservation?
Although there is no set rule that prevents you from booking a shuttle last minute, it's a good idea to make your reservation as soon as possible to make sure a driver is available and prevent any delays.
How long does it take to go from Flagstaff Pulliam to PHX?
Trips to and from Flagstaff in normal traffic are about 2 hours and 15 minutes versus about 4 hours and 30 minutes on the bus or a shuttle with a bunch of people. Rush hour will normally add 15-45 mins (30 mins on the average).
What time should I be picked up?
Trips from Flagstaff and Phoenix are normally 2 hours and 15 minutes. 3 hours and 45 minutes to 4 hours and 15 minutes before your flight is normally enough time. PHX 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 mins is normally enough time. So if the drive from Flagstaff to PHX takes about 2 hours and 15 mins, then 3 and 45 mins before your flight takes off is normally good.
Our Better Drivers
Who are your drivers?
Most of our Flagstaff shuttle drivers have been driving professionally with the public for more than 10 years.

We have high standards for our Flagstaff shuttle drivers including safety, reliability and customer service. They are very helpful with bags. They get the door for you. All drivers go through extensive background checks with Sky Harbor in order to pick up passengers.

Why Choose a Shuttle for the Phoenix to Flagstaff Trip?
Traveling from Phoenix to Flagstaff is a journey that takes you from the Sonoran Desert up into the pine‑clad mountains of northern Arizona. A dedicated shuttle service turns that drive into a relaxed, door‑to‑door experience, letting you skip the hassle of renting a car, navigating unfamiliar highways, or worrying about parking in Flagstaff’s historic downtown. Shuttle providers such as Groome Transportation have been operating in the region for over 90 years, giving them a deep understanding of local traffic patterns, weather conditions, and the best routes to keep your trip on schedule (source: groometransportation.com). Because the shuttle picks you up at your hotel, the airport, or any other address you specify, you can spend the two‑plus‑hour ride enjoying the scenery rather than focusing on the road.
Another advantage is cost transparency. Most shuttle services quote an all‑inclusive fare that covers tolls, fuel, and luggage handling, so you won’t be surprised by hidden fees at the end of the ride. If you book online, you can often lock in a promotional code for additional savings, such as the “ONLINE” code that gives a 10 % discount on round‑trip reservations (source: airportshuttleofphoenix.com). This combination of comfort, safety, and value makes a shuttle an attractive option for solo travelers, families, and groups alike.
Route Overview: Phoenix to Flagstaff via I‑17 and I‑40
The most direct route between Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) and Flagstaff follows Interstate 17 northbound for about 145 miles, then merges onto Interstate 40 eastbound for the final stretch into Flagstaff. This corridor is well‑maintained and features scenic pull‑outs where you can stretch your legs and capture photos of the changing landscape—from desert cacti to ponderosa pines.
Key Highway Segments
- I‑17 (Phoenix to Camp Verde): The highway climbs steadily from roughly 1,000 ft in Phoenix to over 3,500 ft near Camp Verde, offering sweeping views of the Bradshaw Mountains and the occasional glimpse of wildlife.
- I‑40 (Camp Verde to Flagstaff): After joining I‑40, the route passes through the historic town of Sedona (accessible via US 89A) and skirts the edge of the Coconino National Forest before entering Flagstaff.
Under normal traffic conditions, the total travel time is roughly 2½ to 3 hours. Weather, especially winter snowstorms that can affect I‑40, may extend travel times, so it’s always wise to allow a little extra buffer when you schedule your shuttle.

Scheduling and Booking Tips
When you’re planning a Phoenix‑to‑Flagstaff shuttle, a few simple steps can save you time and money.
Advance Reservations
Most operators recommend securing your seat at least 24 hours ahead of departure. This not only guarantees availability but also gives the shuttle service enough lead time to coordinate pickups and optimize routing. If you’re traveling during peak seasons—summer weekends, holidays, or events at Northern Arizona University (NAU)—booking earlier is especially wise.
