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.
