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, or right on time at the airport. 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 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 Maricopa?

Trips to and from Maricopa in normal traffic are about 35 minutes versus an hour and 15 minutes 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?

2 hours and 15 minutes before is normally enough time. The airport 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 Maricopa to Phoenix takes about 35 minutes, then 2 hours and 15 minutes before your flight takes off is normally good.

Understanding the Maricopa‑to‑Phoenix Route

Maricopa, a growing city in Pinal County, sits about 34 miles (≈ 54–56 km) south‑west of downtown Phoenix. The most direct drive follows AZ‑347 north for roughly 12 miles, then merges onto Interstate 10 (I‑10) eastbound and continues into the Phoenix metropolitan area. The total driving distance is roughly 34 miles, and under normal traffic conditions the trip takes about 38 minutes to just under an hour, depending on the time of day (source: MapQuest; fromto.travel). Another viable route uses US‑60 (Grand Avenue) for a more western entry, but it adds several miles and can be slower during rush hour.

Because the corridor is a major commuter link, I‑10 can experience heavy congestion around the I‑10/I‑17 “Stack” interchange and near Sky Harbor International Airport. Travelers should consider leaving early in the morning or later in the evening to avoid the peak‑hour bottlenecks that can push travel time past 50 minutes (source: distance‑cities.com).

Driving: What You Need to Know

Road Conditions and Speed Limits

The Arizona‑347 segment is a two‑lane highway with a speed limit of 65 mph, while I‑10 inside Phoenix typically runs at 65 mph for passenger vehicles. The road surface is well‑maintained, but occasional construction zones can reduce speeds near Goodyear and Tolleson. This estimate can vary with fluctuations in gas prices and individual vehicle efficiency.

Carbon Footprint

The average passenger car emits about 0.79 pounds of CO₂ per mile traveled (source: EPA). For the 34‑mile one‑way drive, that translates to roughly 27 pounds of CO₂ emitted per trip. If you carpool with another passenger, the per‑person emissions drop significantly, making carpooling an eco‑friendlier option.

Parking in Phoenix

Downtown Phoenix offers a range of parking options, from city‑run garages to private lots. Many hotels and event venues provide complimentary parking for guests, which can be a convenient choice if you’re attending a concert or a game at Chase Field.

Taking the Bus: Schedules and Tips

Bus Services Available

For travelers without a car, regional bus service provides a viable alternative. The primary operator on this corridor runs two scheduled departures each day from Maricopa’s central park‑and‑ride to Phoenix’s downtown transit center. The one‑way trip typically lasts about one hour, slightly longer during peak traffic (source: fromto.travel). Students, seniors, and persons with disabilities often qualify for reduced‑rate tickets. Purchasing tickets in advance through the operator’s website or at ticket kiosks can secure the lowest fares.

Pick‑Up and Drop‑Off Points

Maricopa: The city’s main park‑and‑ride lot on AZ‑347 serves as the departure point for most intercity buses.
Phoenix: Buses typically terminate at the Phoenix Central Station (also known as the “Greyhound” station) on Van Buren Street, which connects with Valley Metro light rail and local bus routes for easy onward travel.

Shuttle and Ride‑Share Options

Airport Shuttle Services

Companies such as Airport Shuttle of Phoenix specialize in direct rides between Maricopa and Sky Harbor International Airport. These shuttles operate on a reservation basis, with pickups scheduled to align with flight times. The average pickup time is under five minutes from most Maricopa locations, and drivers are familiar with the AZ‑347/I‑10 route.

Cycling and Alternative Modes

Because the distance between Maricopa and Phoenix exceeds 30 miles and the route includes high‑speed freeway segments, cycling is not recommended for most riders. However, Phoenix’s “Valley Metro Bike Share” program offers docked bicycles at numerous transit hubs, allowing you to complete the final leg of a multimodal trip once you’ve arrived in the city.

Key Stops and Landmarks Along the Way

Goodyear and Tolleson

As you travel north on AZ‑347, you’ll pass through the city of Goodyear, home to the Goodyear Ballpark, a spring training venue for the Cleveland Guardians and Cincinnati Reds. A few miles further, Tolleson offers historic downtown dining options and easy access to the I‑10 corridor.

Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX)

The Phoenix airport lies just east of downtown and is the first major destination for many travelers. Its three terminals and extensive ground‑transportation options make it a natural stop for both business and leisure visitors.

Chase Field

Opened in 1998—the same year the Arizona Diamondbacks debuted—Chase Field was the first stadium in the United States built with a retractable roof over a natural‑grass playing surface (source: public records). Since 2019 the field has used artificial turf, but it remains the home of the Diamondbacks and a hub for major concerts and events.

Phoenix Art Museum

Located in downtown Phoenix, the museum occupies 285,000 sq ft (≈ 26,500 m²) and houses more than 18,000 works spanning American, Asian, European, Latin American, Western American, modern, and contemporary art, as well as fashion design exhibitions (source: museum public information). A visit can be combined with a walk through

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

Hi, your 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 airport security will send people to the wrong place, so it's better to follow the directions below. The airport 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".

We customize our 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, because the app doesn't tell them where they are going until they arrive at your home. Usually drivers don't want to drive that far and not get paid for two 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 the airport 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?

Companies that do shared rides will try to pick you up an hour or two earlier, but they make no promises about when you will actually get to the airport. If you're on a tight schedule, the shared ride option 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.
