Overview: Your Direct Route from Globe to Scottsdale

The most straightforward way to travel globe to Scottsdale is to hop on U.S. Route 60 West, then merge onto Interstate 10 (I‑10) North toward Phoenix, and finally take Arizona State Route 101 (Loop 101) North into Scottsdale. This corridor spans roughly 75 miles and typically takes 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours under normal traffic conditions. According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), U.S. 60 is the primary highway linking the mining town of Globe to the Phoenix metropolitan area, making it the go‑to route for both commuters and visitors.

If you’re leaving Globe in the morning, you’ll enjoy light traffic on the two‑lane highway before hitting the busier urban freeway network around Mesa. Planning for a midday departure can help you avoid the heaviest rush‑hour congestion on I‑10, which usually peaks between 7 – 9 a.m. and 4 – 6 p.m. on weekdays. Keep an eye on ADOT’s real‑time road‑condition map for any construction or incident alerts that might affect your drive.

Driving Itinerary: US‑60 to I‑10

Begin your trip by heading west on U.S. Route 60 (also called the “Old West Highway”). You’ll pass through the historic mining community of Goldfield and the iconic Superstition Mountains—a perfect photo opportunity if you have a few minutes to spare. After about 30 miles, the highway widens to a four‑lane expressway near Apache Junction, merging seamlessly onto the U.S. 60/US‑60 West corridor.

Once you reach the Phoenix metro area, follow signs for I‑10 North. You’ll skirt the southern edge of Mesa, passing the Mesa Arts Center on your right. After roughly 12 miles on I‑10, take the Loop 101 North exit (Exit 153). The Loop 101 runs parallel to the Salt River and offers views of the Salt River Pima‑Maricopa Indian Community before depositing you directly into Scottsdale’s northern neighborhoods.

For those who prefer a scenic detour, consider exiting at McDowell Road in Mesa and heading north on North 32nd Street to visit the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, then continue north on North 44th Street to re‑enter the Loop 101. This add‑on adds roughly 15 minutes but lets you experience one of the Valley’s most celebrated outdoor attractions.

Public Transportation: Buses, Shuttles, and Trains

While there isn’t a direct train service between Globe and Scottsdale, Valley Metro operates an extensive bus network that can get you there with a couple of transfers. The most common itinerary is:

Globe‑Mesa Express (Route 30): Departs Globe’s Main Street station and travels to Mesa’s Central Station. Travel time is about 2 hours 15 minutes.

Mesa‑Scottsdale Connector (Route 81): Runs from Mesa Central Station to Downtown Scottsdale via the Scottsdale Fashion Square transfer hub. For travelers coming from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, the PHX Sky Train connects to the Valley Metro rail at 44th Street/Washington, offering a seamless link to the bus network.

Shuttle services such as Airport Shuttle of Phoenix provide pre‑booked, door‑to‑door transport for those who prefer a direct ride. These shared shuttles typically operate on a reservation basis and can accommodate luggage, making them a convenient option for groups or families.

Rideshare, Taxi, and Private Car Services

If you value flexibility and comfort, rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft are widely available throughout the Phoenix‑Scottsdale region. A one‑way trip from Globe to Scottsdale usually falls within a 60‑ to 90‑minute window, depending on traffic. For a more personalized experience, consider a private car service where you can book a professional driver in advance. These services often include amenities such as child seats, extra luggage space, and the ability to request a specific vehicle class (e.g., SUV, luxury sedan).

When using any on‑demand service, ensure the driver’s rating is above 4.6 stars and confirm the pickup location is clearly marked—many riders find it helpful to meet the driver at the Globe Post Office or the Globe Cinemas parking lot for a trouble‑free start.

Our Better Vehicles

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".
