Private shuttle from Nogales to Tucson International Airport
Nogales is the one border city with a straightforward airport run: Tucson International (TUS) sits almost straight up I-19, about 62 road miles from town. The freeway is the whole trip, which makes a reserved pickup easy to time - and a missed one expensive. This page covers the route, realistic drive times, and real fares from completed Nogales shuttle trips to TUS.
The route from Nogales to Tucson International Airport
The trip is I-19 North - the freeway passes through Rio Rico, Tumacacori and Tubac country and lands at the airport exit on Tucson's south side. Completed Nogales-to-TUS trips logged a median of about 62 dispatch miles and it is the simplest long corridor in southern Arizona: one road, one exit. The variable is border-season and weekend traffic near the city itself, so a reserved pickup with a buffer matters for morning departures.
