Traveling from the desert heat of Phoenix to the pine‑covered mountains of Flagstaff is a journey of about 145 miles that winds through some of Arizona’s most varied terrain. The most common route follows Interstate 17 (I‑17) north from Phoenix, then merges with Interstate 40 (I‑40) just south of Flagstaff. This highway combination offers a scenic drive that passes the Mogollon Rim, the volcanic fields near Sunset Crater, and the historic Route 66 corridor that runs through Flagstaff. (Source: U.S. Census Bureau, “Arizona Highways”)

Whether you’re heading north for a mountain getaway, a visit to the Grand Canyon, or simply to enjoy the cooler climate of Flagstaff, the Phoenix to Flagstaff shuttle offers a comfortable, cost‑effective alternative to driving yourself. The route stretches roughly 145 miles and climbs from the desert floor of the Phoenix metro area (≈1,050 ft) to the high‑elevation city of Flagstaff (≈7,000 ft). Most shuttles travel this corridor in about 2½ to 3 hours, following Interstate 17 (I‑17) north and then Interstate 40 (I‑40) east into Flagstaff. (Source: Arizona Department of Transportation, “Arizona State Route Map”)

Driving the I‑17/I‑40 corridor can be tiring, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the mountain curves or the sudden weather changes that occur near the Mogollon Rim. A shared shuttle lets you relax, catch up on work or a podcast, and avoid the hassle of parking in Flagstaff’s compact downtown area. Additionally, many shuttle services employ professional drivers who are trained for winter road conditions, which can be critical during Flagstaff’s snowy season. When you factor in the cost of fuel, potential tolls, and vehicle wear, the estimated price of a shuttle fare often compares favorably to the true cost of a personal vehicle.

The first leg of the journey follows I‑17, Arizona’s principal north‑south freeway, which begins in Phoenix and runs through the towns of Anthem, Camp Verde, and the scenic viewpoints at the Mogollon Rim. At the interchange near Flagstaff, I‑17 merges into I‑40, the historic east‑west highway that once formed part of Route 66. Drivers and passengers alike can enjoy views of the San Francisco Peaks, the highest point in Arizona, as the highway approaches Flagstaff. The entire route is well‑maintained, with rest areas at regular intervals and cell‑service coverage for most carriers. (Source: Arizona Office of Tourism)

Our Better Vehicles

What type of vehicle will pick me up?

We send a airport shuttle (4+ passengers) or a nice car (1-3 passengers) anytime and take you to or from any address in Arizona, not just PHX. Our vehicles are clean and newer. Most vehicles are luxury and full size. We have Mercedes Sprinters, Lincoln Navigators, Chrysler 300's, Lexus ES300 Hybrids, Lincoln MKZ's, and a variety of other vehicles to meet your needs.

Our Pickup Locations

Your Casa Grande 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. PHX 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".
