Our Daily Schedule

What is your daily schedule?

We pick you up on your schedule 24/7. Our professional drivers are normally 5-10 minutes early at your home in Phoenix and Globe, or right on time at PHX. 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 minutes after for international flights.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

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?

You can always 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 to Globe 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 Phoenix or Globe?

Trips to and from Globe in normal traffic are about an hour and 30 minutes versus about three hours on the bus or a shuttle with a bunch of people. Rush hour will normally add 15-45 minutes (30 minutes on the average).

What time should I be picked up?

3-3.5 hours 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 minutes is normally enough time. So if the drive from Globe to Phoenix takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes, then 3-3.5 hours before your flight takes off is normally good.

Our Better Drivers

Who are your drivers?

Most of our shuttle drivers have been driving professionally with the public for more than 10 years. They have excellent people skills and are usually very knowledgeable about the area (what to do, best restaurants, history and attractions). Some of our shuttle drivers are also professional tour guides that go to the Grand Canyon, Globe, Phoenix, and many other destinations.

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

We also train them by driving them through PHX, explaining all the rules, and showing them where to pick people up and drop people off.

Driving from Globe to Phoenix: Route Overview

When you’re planning a trip from Globe, Arizona, to the state capital, Phoenix, the most common choice is to drive. The route follows U.S. Route 60 (US‑60) for the majority of the journey before merging onto Interstate 10 (I‑10) near the Phoenix metropolitan area. The total distance between the two cities is roughly 87 miles, and a non‑stop drive takes about 1 hour 54 minutes under normal traffic conditions (source: distance‑cities.com). For travelers who prefer a more leisurely pace, the drive can be broken up at several scenic points, including the Superstition Mountains, the historic gold‑mining town of Goldfield, and the lakeside attractions around Gold Canyon. Whether you’re heading to Phoenix for business, a family gathering, or a weekend getaway, knowing the key route details helps you plan for fuel, rest stops, and travel time.

Now distance and travel time:

Distance and Travel Time

The straight‑line (great‑circle) distance from Globe to Phoenix is about 86 miles, but the road distance is slightly longer at roughly 87 miles because of the curvature of US‑60 and I‑10. If you drive non‑stop at an average speed of 55‑60 mph, you can expect a travel time of 1 hour 54 minutes. Traffic in the Phoenix metro area can add 10‑30 minutes to this estimate, especially during rush‑hour periods (7‑9 am and 4‑7 pm). For those who need to factor in a stop at the halfway point, the midpoint is located about 43.66 miles from each city, which translates to roughly 57 minutes of driving from either direction (source: mapquest.com). Understanding these numbers lets you decide whether a direct drive or a planned break suits your schedule.

Typical Travel Times by Mode

Mode of Travel	Approximate Travel Time	Notes
Driving (non‑stop)	1 hr 54 min	Based on average speed and light traffic
Driving with a rest stop at Gold Canyon	~2 hrs 10 min	Adds 15‑20 min for a quick break
Shared‑ride shuttle	2 – 2.5 hrs	Depends on pick‑up/drop‑off points and traffic
Public bus (Greyhound)	2.5 – 3 hrs	May include transfers in Mesa
Rideshare (Uber/Lyft)	1 hr 45 min – 2 hrs	Surge pricing may apply during peak hours

Route Options: Highways and Scenic Detours

The most direct path follows U.S. Route 60 westbound from Globe. After leaving the city, you’ll pass through the towns of Claypool and McVille before entering the dramatic landscape of the Superstition Mountains. The highway climbs steadily, offering panoramic views of the Tonto National Forest and the iconic Weaver’s Needle rock formation. About 30 miles from Globe, you’ll reach the community of Gold Canyon, where a side road leads to the Goldfield Ghost Town, a popular tourist spot with historic buildings and a small museum.

Continuing on US‑60, the road merges with I‑10 just south of Apache Junction. From there, you travel through the East Valley cities of Mesa, Tempe, and finally into downtown Phoenix. If you prefer a less trafficked route, you can take State Route 87 (SR‑87) north from Globe to Show Low and then connect to I‑40, but that adds more than 100 miles and roughly 2 hours to the trip. For most travelers, the US‑60/I‑10 combination provides the best balance of distance, time, and scenery.

Highlights Along the Way

Superstition Mountains: A striking desert mountain range with hiking trails, legend of the Lost Dutchman’s Mine, and spectacular sunrise views.
Goldfield Ghost Town: A restored 1890s mining town offering a glimpse into Arizona’s gold‑rush era.
Gold Canyon: Known for its rugged canyon landscapes, horseback riding, and the nearby Lost Dutchman State Park.
Apache Junction: A gateway to the Usery Mountain Regional Park and the famous Merriam’s Trail.
Mesa Arts Center: If you have time, stop in downtown Mesa for live performances and contemporary art exhibits.
Tempe Town Lake: A scenic urban lake perfect for a short stroll or a quick bite before entering Phoenix.

Halfway Point and Rest Stops

If you need a natural break, the true midpoint between Globe and Phoenix is located near Gold Canyon, AZ. According to mapping data, Gold Canyon sits 49 miles from Globe and 40 miles from Phoenix, making it roughly 43.66 miles from each city (source: mapquest.com). From Globe, the drive to Gold Canyon takes about 1 hour, while the stretch from Phoenix to Gold Canyon is approximately 41 minutes under typical traffic. This makes Gold Canyon an ideal spot for a restroom break, a quick coffee, or a short hike in Lost Dutchman State Park. Other convenient stops include the Apache Junction Travel Center, which offers fuel, snacks, and a service station, and the Superstition Mountains Visitor Center near the Goldfield area for trail maps and local history.

Fuel Cost and Carbon Footprint (Estimates)

For those traveling by personal vehicle, fuel expenses are a key consideration. Based on an average fuel price of $4.35 per gallon (the figure used by many travel calculators) and an estimated fuel consumption of about 3.5 gallons for the round‑trip, the estimated cost of gasoline for a one‑way drive from Globe to Phoenix is roughly $15.26 (source: distance‑cities.com). This is a projected estimate and can vary with real‑time pump prices and individual vehicle efficiency.

The same trip produces a measurable carbon impact. The average passenger car emits about 0.79 pounds of CO₂ per mile. For the 87‑mile journey, this translates to roughly 68.70 pounds of CO₂ per vehicle (source: distance‑cities.com). When carpooling with three passengers, the per‑person emissions drop to

Our Better Vehicles

What type of vehicle will pick me up?

We send an airport shuttle or SUV (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, Chrysler 300's, Lexus ES300 Hybrids, Lincoln MKZ's, and a variety of other vehicles to meet your needs.

Our Pickup Locations

Your Globe 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".

To and From Any Address (One Way)

What kind of transportation services do you offer?

We offer a Phoenix to Globe Shuttle, a shuttle from Globe to Phoenix, and other types of Globe transportation like black car and taxi. We customize our shuttle service to your needs by offering different options like 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 in Phoenix or Globe, 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 1.5 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 shuttle companies that do shared rides in Phoenix and Globe 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 in Globe 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.

The distance between Phoenix and Globe AZ is 87.7 miles.
