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 in Kingman and Phoenix, 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?
Call or send us a text if you want us to pick you up early, and we will let your shuttle 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 Kingman Shuttle last minute, it's a good idea to make your shuttle 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 Kingman?
Trips to and from Kingman in normal traffic are about 3 hours and 30 minutes versus 7 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?
5-5.5 hours before your flight 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 Kingman to Phoenix takes about 3 hours and 30 minutes, then 5-5.5 hours before your flight takes off is normally good.
Our Better Drivers
Who are your drivers?
Most of our shuttle drivers are experienced, licensed professionals. They have excellent people skills and are usually very knowledgeable about the area (what to do, best restaurants, history and attractions).

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.

The Drive: Black Canyon Grade, Route 66, and Kingman Airport
Leaving the Valley, the US-93 corridor climbs the long grades of the Black Canyon between Sunset Point and the Wickenburg junction — the stretch where brake-melting descents and sudden monsoon cells catch drivers off guard. From there the Wickenburg–Kingman Highway runs northwest across the high desert, and Kingman itself is where Route 66 heritage meets the I-40 freight corridor: an easy stopover point if your trip continues to Williams, the Grand Canyon, or Laughlin. Kingman Municipal Airport (IGM) sees only limited commercial service, so Phoenix Sky Harbor stays the practical international gateway for western Arizona — one more reason this 195-mile corridor is run daily in both directions.
Plan on roughly four hours of drive time each way. Because the run is long enough that a same-day round trip behind the wheel adds real fatigue, most travelers book the return leg as a separate prearranged pickup instead of driving back the same night. Need the other direction or continuing to the river? See the Phoenix to Kingman shuttle and Phoenix to Bullhead City pages.

Getting from Kingman to Phoenix Airport (PHX) Terminal by Terminal
Most Kingman-to-Phoenix trips we run end at Phoenix Sky Harbor, and the last mile matters: Terminal 2 serves the former Terminal 2 carriers, Terminal 3 handles Delta and United departures, and Terminal 4 is the American Airlines and Southwest hub — your driver drops you at the correct departures curb for your airline, luggage included. Scheduled buses from Kingman terminate at downtown Phoenix or Tempe stops, not the airport curb, which is why airport-bound travelers typically need a second ride if they take the bus.
Frequently Asked Questions: Kingman to Phoenix
How much does a Kingman to Phoenix shuttle cost?
Recent confirmed trips ran from $96 up through a typical $289, depending
on the exact addresses and vehicle you choose. Every fare is quoted flat before you book — the
number you approve is the number you pay, with no surge multipliers.
How far is Phoenix from Kingman?
Door-to-door distance on our bookings averages about 196 miles. Because this is a
private, direct ride with no intermediate stops, drive time tracks the highway route rather than a
multi-passenger loop.
Can I book a pickup in the middle of the night?
Yes. Dispatch runs 24/7, and early-morning pickups (including the 3-5 a.m. window that early departures
require) are among our most common bookings on this route. Flight tracking is available for airport legs.
Is this a shared shuttle?
No. Every ride is private: the vehicle is reserved for your party only, and the driver comes to your
door rather than a fixed pickup stop.

Kingman to Phoenix: Route Overview
The trip from Kingman to Phoenix covers roughly 195 miles of high-desert driving through some of Arizona's most scenic terrain. Whether you're heading down for a flight connection, a Cardinals game, or business in the Valley, you have several realistic options: driving yourself via US-93, taking a Greyhound bus, or booking a private shuttle. Most travelers complete the journey in a little over three hours by car, while scheduled bus service takes longer — the fastest Greyhound bus from Kingman to Phoenix-Tempe takes around 4 hours 25 minutes and covers approximately 196 miles, according to Greyhound's published schedule data.
Kingman sits in northwestern Arizona along the historic Route 66 corridor, serving as the commercial hub of Mohave County. Phoenix, the state capital, anchors the Valley of the Sun roughly two hours' drive to the southeast. Between them lies some genuinely beautiful country: the Hualapai Mountains, the Big Sandy River valley, and the peaks of the Wickenburg range before the desert flattens out into the Phoenix metro.
How Far Is Kingman from Phoenix?
MapQuest's driving directions from Kingman, Arizona 86401 to Phoenix, Arizona 85003 put the route at approximately 195 miles. Travelmath's distance calculations confirm the same ballpark figure — right around 195 miles of highway driving, most of it on two-lane US-93.
The Drive: US-93 South
The standard driving route follows I-40 briefly east out of Kingman, then drops south onto US-93 — the main artery connecting northwestern Arizona to the Phoenix area. Highlights along the way:
- Wickenburg — the classic Old West ranching town roughly at the halfway-to-two-thirds mark, where US-93 meets US-60 for the final leg into the Valley.
- Historic Route 66 — Kingman's downtown is a certified Route 66 stop, home to the Arizona Route 66 Museum in the historic Powerhouse Visitor Center.
- The Hualapai descent — a long, winding stretch of US-93 that drops several thousand feet from the Kingman plateau, with sweeping desert views.
- The Hassayampa River corridor near Wickenburg before the road opens onto the broad Sonoran desert approaching the metro area.
Road conditions on US-93 can vary with weather — summer monsoon storms and occasional winter weather near the Kingman elevation both slow traffic. Arizona DOT maintains the route, and it's worth checking ADOT's az511 traveler information before a holiday-weekend drive.
Your Transportation Options Compared
Here's how the main ways to get from Kingman to Phoenix stack up:
| Option | Typical Duration | Route | Good For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greyhound bus | From 4 hrs 25 min | Scheduled service via US-93 corridor | Budget travelers without a car |
| Driving yourself | ~3 to 3.5 hrs | US-93, then US-60/I-17 into Phoenix | Flexibility, luggage, groups |
| Private shuttle or door-to-door car service | ~3.5 hrs (traffic dependent) | Direct, on your schedule | Airport connections, comfort |
Taking the Greyhound Bus from Kingman to Phoenix
Greyhound operates scheduled service on this corridor. Based on Greyhound's published schedules, here's what to know:
- Frequency: Greyhound schedules 2 buses per day from Kingman to Phoenix-Tempe.
- First departure: The earliest bus leaves Kingman at 09:00 am.
- Last departure: The last bus of the day leaves at 11:50 am.

Because only two departures run daily, planning matters. Miss the morning departures and you're waiting until the next day, so build buffer time if you're connecting to a flight or an event.
Baggage Policy
Greyhound's standard allowance on the Kingman to Phoenix-Tempe route includes one carry-on bag (up to 16x12x7 inches and 25 lbs) plus one checked bag at no extra cost. If you're hauling ski gear from a Flagstaff detour or extra boxes for a move, check Greyhound's excess baggage policy before you book.
Onboard Features: Wi-Fi, Power, and Seating
Modern Greyhound coaches on this route typically offer free onboard Wi-Fi, individual power outlets, extra legroom seating options, and reclining seats — useful on a four-and-a-half-hour ride. Wi-Fi quality varies with terrain along the US-93 corridor, so download podcasts and entertainment before you board rather than streaming through the Hualapai Mountains.
Reserve a Seat and Manage Your Booking
When booking, Greyhound lets you reserve a specific seat for an added fee if you want a window position or extra legroom. If your plans change, Greyhound's flexible ticket options allow changes — rebooking fees vary by fare type, so review the change policy at checkout. Tickets purchased online arrive as a digital ticket on your phone, and Greyhound's app offers live bus tracking so you can see exactly where your coach is before it pulls into Kingman.
Bus Stations and Stops
Departing Kingman: Greyhound serves Kingman at a downtown stop convenient to the Route 66 district. Arrive at least 15–20 minutes before your scheduled departure; with only two buses a day, the coach won't wait.
Arriving in the Phoenix area: Greyhound serves two stops in the metro, per greyhound.com:
- Phoenix Bus Station — 2115 E Buckeye Rd, Phoenix-Tempe, AZ 85034. The bus boards inside the Greyhound station. This location sits just south of Sky Harbor International Airport, which makes it practical if you're connecting to a flight.
- Phoenix Glendale (59th Ave / W. Hayward) — N 59th Ave and W Hayward Ave, Phoenix-Tempe, AZ 85301. The bus boards at the northbound city bus stop on 59th Ave, immediately north of the intersection of W Hayward Ave and N 59th Ave. This westside stop is handy for Glendale, the West Valley, and State Farm Stadium events.
How to Book Your Bus Ticket to Phoenix from Kingman
- Search your travel date on greyhound.com or the Greyhound app.
- Compare the two daily departures — the 09:00 am and 11:50 am schedules.
- Choose your fare type; earlier bookings generally price lower.
- Optionally reserve a seat and add any extra bags.
- Receive your digital ticket and track your bus live on travel day.
Planning Your Trip from Kingman to Phoenix?
What to Expect on Your Trip
The bus journey follows the same US-93 corridor that drivers use, so you'll see the same scenery — the long descent from Kingman, the sparse settlement of Wikieup, the ranch country around Wickenburg, and the transition into the Valley's sprawl. Cell coverage drops in stretches, rest stops are built into the schedule, and arrival is typically at the Buckeye Road station near the airport or the 59th Avenue stop on the west side.
Timing Around Phoenix Traffic
Phoenix metro traffic is a real consideration. The Loop 101, I-17, and the I-10 "minimal stack" interchanges all bottleneck during weekday rush hours — roughly 7–9 am and 4–6 pm. If your bus arrives at 2 pm, you're fine; if you're driving yourself and can leave Kingman at 1 pm instead of 3 pm, you'll skip the worst of the westbound crush. Weekend evenings around major events at State Farm Stadium or Footprint Center can snarl the same corridors.
Connecting to Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport
If your final destination is a flight, the Greyhound Phoenix Bus Station on E Buckeye Road is minutes from Sky Harbor terminals — a short taxi, rideshare, or PHX Sky Train connection. Door-to-door shuttle services can also take you directly from a Kingman address or hotel to the airport curb, which is often the least stressful option for early-morning flights that the bus schedule can't reach. See our Kingman to Sky Harbor shuttle page for that specific route.
Driving Yourself: Directions and Tips
Following MapQuest's recommended directions, the drive breaks down simply:
- From Kingman, take I-40 east briefly to the US-93 exit.
- Follow US-93 south approximately 100+ miles through the Hualapai descent and desert stretch past Wikieup.
- Near Wickenburg, continue as US-93 joins US-60 southeast toward the metro area.
- Take US-60 (Grand Avenue) or the Loop 303/Loop 101 freeways toward your Phoenix destination — downtown Phoenix around 85003, the airport corridor, or Tempe.
Fuel up in Kingman or Wickenburg; services thin out considerably between the two. Watch speed enforcement on US-93 — it's a heavily patrolled two-lane highway, and passing traffic is the main hazard. Check the Flagstaff to Phoenix route guide if your journey starts farther north, or our Las Vegas to Phoenix shuttle page if you're continuing from Nevada.
Other Routes and Connections Through Kingman
Kingman is a natural crossroads: I-40 runs east-west toward Flagstaff and Barstow, while US-93 runs north to the Hoover Dam and Las Vegas and south to Phoenix. Greyhound's network along this corridor connects through to well over 1,600 destinations across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico per its route map, so a Kingman stop can chain into longer journeys. Travelmath's route data also treats Kingman–Phoenix as a common intrastate corridor for both driving and flight-connection calculations via Sky Harbor.
If you're comparing Arizona intercity routes, we maintain guides for Tucson to Phoenix, Prescott to Phoenix, and Yuma to Phoenix, plus a full list of airport shuttle routes serving Sky Harbor.
Need to Make a Change to Your Plans?
Flexibility varies by how you travel:
- Greyhound tickets: Most fares can be changed before departure; fee amounts depend on your fare class (per Greyhound's change policy at booking). With only two daily departures, a change effectively means shifting to the same-day alternate bus or the next day's schedule.
- Private shuttles: Most door-to-door services ask for 24–48 hours' notice to modify pickup times, though policies differ by provider — confirm at booking.
- Driving: You're on your own schedule; just watch ADOT alerts for closures on US-93, which occasionally occur for incidents or storm damage.
