  • Safer - we don't leave you at a bus stop, and all our drivers go through nationwide fingerprint background checks.
  • Faster - most rides take half the time, because it's just you in the vehicle. No need to stop and wait everywhere.
  • More Convenient - Door to Door means no need to arrange or pay for a Taxi or Lyft to get home.
  • Affordable - once you add it all up, it's the same price or less than other shared ride shuttles for two or more people, or less than Uber with just one person.

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 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 Phoenix 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 from Flagstaff Pulliam - 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?

3 hours and 45 minutes to 4 hours and 15 minutes before 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.

Why Take a Shuttle from Phoenix to Flagstaff?

Traveling between Arizona’s capital and its mountain‑town hub has never been easier. A dedicated phoenix to flagstaff shuttle gives you a stress‑free ride along the scenic Interstate 17 corridor, without the hassle of renting a car or worrying about parking in Flagstaff’s historic downtown. Professional drivers know the route, monitor real‑time traffic, and can adjust the schedule to keep you on time. Whether you’re heading to the Flagstaff Amtrak Station for a cross‑country rail adventure, visiting the Grand Canyon, or exploring Sedona’s red‑rock vistas, a shuttle offers a comfortable, cost‑effective alternative to driving yourself.

Comfort and Convenience

Shuttle vehicles are equipped with climate control, ample legroom, and space for luggage, making the 2½‑ to 3‑hour journey relaxing rather than fatiguing. You can board at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) and be dropped off directly at the Flagstaff Groome Office, the Flagstaff Amtrak Station on East Route 66, or select hotels and neighborhoods with Home Pick‑up/Drop‑Off service.

Safety and Reliability

Groome Transportation, the operator behind this service, brings over 90 years of experience to Arizona’s roads. Drivers are background‑checked, trained in defensive driving, and the fleet undergoes regular maintenance checks. A 24‑hour advance reservation is recommended to guarantee a seat, and a $2.00 per‑passenger fuel surcharge applies beginning May 5 2026 to offset rising fuel costs (Source: groometransportation.com).

The Route: Phoenix to Flagstaff

The Phoenix‑to‑Flagstaff shuttle travels primarily on I‑17, a well‑maintained interstate that winds through the Sonoran Desert before climbing into the pine‑covered highlands of northern Arizona. The journey covers roughly 145 miles and passes several notable landmarks:

  • North Phoenix: The route begins near Sky Harbor, skirts the city’s western suburbs, and merges onto I‑17 northbound.
  • Camp Verde: About halfway, you’ll see the exit for Highway 260, which leads to the Verde Valley wine region.
  • Sedona Turnoff: If you’re heading to Sedona, a short connection on Highway 89A drops you into the heart of the red‑rocks (seasonal service March‑October).
  • Flagstaff: The highway ends at the junction with Interstate 40; the shuttle then proceeds to the Flagstaff Groome Office at 2646 E. ... (see official site for full address) and the historic Flagstaff Amtrak Station at 1 E. Route 66.

Typical Travel Time

Under normal conditions the trip takes about 2½ to 3½ hours. Traffic around Phoenix can extend this during rush hour (7‑9 am and 4‑6 pm), while winter weather may add extra time on the mountain grades. The shuttle driver monitors road conditions and will inform passengers of any delays.

Comparing Shuttle Services

Choosing the right transportation option depends on budget, luggage needs, and schedule flexibility. Below is a side‑by‑side comparison of the most common choices for the Phoenix‑Flagstaff corridor.

with columns: Service Type, Estimated Cost (range), Luggage Capacity, Flexibility, Recommended For. Fill with "Shuttle", "Rideshare", "Rental Car", "Personal Vehicle". Use approximate cost labels like "Contact provider for estimate". That is safe. Now, ensure we have the required parts. We need to incorporate the contact details: "Call 928-350-8466 to make a connecting reservation." Also mention "Office Hours: 7:00 AM - 11:00 PM". Also "Customer Service: (480) 710-3441 (7-5 pm MST)". Now, start writing. We'll produce about 7-8 major sections. We also need to embed "Temporary Fuel Surcharge: $2.00 per passenger starting May 5, 2026" but as a note. Now, ensure we don't violate the policy about not providing personal data. The user gave public contact numbers. Using those is okay. Now, start generating content. We need to count approximate words. Let's start drafting. ---
Service Type Estimated Cost* Luggage Capacity Flexibility Best For
Shared Shuttle Contact provider for estimate 2‑3 bags per passenger Fixed schedule, multiple stops Budget‑conscious travelers, solo adventurers
Rideshare (e.g., Uber/Lyft) Varies by demand; higher during peak Limited to vehicle size On‑demand, door‑to‑door Groups wanting direct point‑to‑point
Rental Car Daily rate plus fuel, parking Unlimited Full independence, any departure time Road‑trippers planning multiple stops
Personal Vehicle Fuel, tolls, wear‑and‑tear Unlimited No schedule constraints Travelers with their own car

*All cost estimates are approximate and can vary based on season, booking window, and additional services.

The system instantly displays estimates for shuttle, taxi, and black‑car options. When booking a round trip, you automatically receive a 10 % discount each way.

Our Pickup Locations

Your Flagstaff to PHX Shuttle picks up where it says Prearranged. If you are in a wheelchair, do not allow your attendant to leave you anywhere except Prearranged. The signs are easy to see and they are always at the outer curb. Sometimes security will send people to the wrong place, so it's better to follow the directions below. Sky Harbor also won't allow drivers to walk more than 15 feet away from their vehicle or wait, so good communication is essential. Turn on your cell phone and take it off of airplane mode, so your driver can call or text you. If you don't recognize the number, it's probably your driver.


Terminal 3 Prearranged is across the crosswalk from Door 6 and to the right, south side of the building.


Terminal 4 Prearranged is across the crosswalk from Door 3, north side of the building, first floor. The sign says "Prearranged Vehicles 3 NORTH".


To and From Any Address (One Way)

What kind of transportation services do you offer?

We offer a Flagstaff to Phoenix Shuttle from Flagstaff Amtrak Station to PHX, and a PHX to Flagstaff Shuttle from PHX or Metro Center, and other types of transportation like black car and taxi. We customize our airport shuttle service to your needs by offering different options like Phoenix shuttles, black car services, and taxi. We offer many types of vehicles, and different options to make your experience great.

Things You Should Know

Does it make sense to take an Uber or Lyft?

Uber and Lyft drivers often cancel once they arrive at your house, hotel or NAU in Phoenix and Flagstaff, because the app doesn't tell them where they are going until they arrive at your home. Usually they don't want to drive that far and not get paid for two hours to drive back, or they are unavailable to work for that long. This may result in you missing your flight after 2-3 of them cancel in a row, and they charge you $5 each time for the cancellation. You then try to contact Uber or Lyft over the next week to get a refund, and they don't even have a phone number.

Another thing to consider is that Uber and Lyft drivers are never interviewed, so you may get a depressed guy complaining about his life, a tiny car with no leg room or a creeper. Uber and Lyft also do not train their drivers and Sky Harbor is moderately confusing to most people, so they usually have no idea where to go.


How reliable is the Greyhound bus or an Arizona shuttle with a lot of people?

Other Phoenix shuttle companies that do shared rides in Phoenix or Flagstaff will try to pick you up an hour or two earlier, but they make no promises about when you will actually get to PHX. If you're on a tight schedule, the shared ride option with Arizona shuttle or the Greyhound is probably not a good idea. Extra stops and scheduling with other passengers can either make you too early or potentially late. Even with great drivers, passengers can be unpredictable and end up making everyone miss their flight.

Flagstaff to Phoenix flights are much more expensive than taking a shuttle ranging from $236 per person before to tax to $350 each. They say the flight time is about 45 minutes, but they leave out that

We are the fastest and more convenient option from Flagstaff to Phoenix AZ. The main difference is we pick you up at your home, and it only takes about 2 hours and 15 minutes. We are a 24/7 door to door service, and it's normally just you in the vehicle going non-stop to PHX or back home.

The greyhound flagstaff to phoenix normally takes about 4 and a half hours. We under some people may need to take the bus for financial reason, but honestly riding the Greyhound takes forever.

There is no Phoenix to Flagstaff train. There are no trains anywhere in Phoenix AZ. However, the Amtrak does stop in Flagstaff. It only goes east and west, not north and south.

We do car service Flagstaff to Phoenix. You can either choose a nicer car that we use for the shuttle service or a black car if you want an executive car service.

Phoenix to Flagstaff driving time is 2 hours and 15 minutes with us or by car. Drive time is about twice as long on the bus or other shared ride shuttle companies, because they stop many times and wait for people.

Some people have called us the Flagstaff express since we are the fastest option to get to Sky Harbor.

The Phoenix‑to‑Flagstaff shuttle travels primarily on I‑17, a well‑maintained interstate that winds through the Sonoran Desert before climbing into the pine‑covered highlands of northern Arizona. The journey covers roughly 145 miles and passes several notable landmarks:

  • North Phoenix: The route begins near Sky Harbor, skirts the city’s western suburbs, and merges onto I‑17 northbound.
  • Camp Verde: About halfway, you’ll see the exit for Highway 260, which leads to the Verde Valley wine region.
  • Sedona Turnoff: If you’re heading to Sedona, a short connection on Highway 89A drops you into the heart of the red‑rocks (seasonal service March‑October).
  • Flagstaff: The highway ends at the junction with Interstate 40; the shuttle then proceeds to the Flagstaff Groome Office at 2646 E. ... (see official site for full address) and the historic Flagstaff Amtrak Station at 1 E. Route 66.

Typical Travel Time

Under normal conditions the trip takes about 2½ to 3½ hours. Traffic around Phoenix can extend this during rush hour (7‑9 am and 4‑6 pm), while winter weather may add extra time on the mountain grades. The shuttle driver monitors road conditions and will inform passengers of any delays.
