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 Avondale?

Trips to and from Avondale in normal traffic are about 30 minutes versus an hour 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 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 Avondale to Phoenix takes about 30 minutes, then 2 hours before your flight takes off is normally good.

Quick Answer: Phoenix to Avondale Travel Options

If you need to get from Phoenix to Avondale, the fastest way is by taxi or rideshare, which takes roughly 22 minutes. The cheapest option is the Valley Metro Line 3 bus, which usually takes about 1 hour 11 minutes and costs only a few dollars (estimated). Both options are convenient, and the best choice depends on whether you prioritize speed or budget.

Distance and Driving Route

The straight‑line distance between downtown Phoenix and downtown Avondale is about 28 km (≈ 17 miles), while the actual driving distance via Interstate 10 is roughly 30 km (≈ 18.6 miles) (Source: fromto.travel). The trip by car takes around 22 minutes under normal traffic conditions, making it a short hop across the West Valley.

Key Highways and Local Roads

• Interstate 10 (I‑10): The main east‑west corridor that connects Phoenix to Avondale. Exit 129 leads directly into Avondale’s commercial core.
• U.S. Route 60 (US‑60): Runs north‑south through the western part of Phoenix and provides an alternate route if I‑10 is congested.
• Loop 303: A newer beltway that skirts the southern edge of Avondale, useful for reaching areas west of the city.
• State Route 85 (SR‑85): Passes through the eastern edge of Avondale, giving access to local neighborhoods and the Phoenix‑Mesa Gateway Airport area.

Public Transportation: Valley Metro Bus Line 3

Valley Metro’s Line 3 is the primary bus service linking Phoenix and Avondale. Buses depart from the Van Buren St & 5th Av stop in downtown Phoenix and arrive at the La Canada Bl & 4th St station in Avondale. The ride lasts approximately 1 hour 11 minutes, and departures are scheduled about once every hour (Source: fromto.travel). The fare is very affordable, typically only a few dollars, making it a great budget‑friendly choice.

Where to Catch the Bus

• Van Buren St & 5th Av: Located near the Phoenix Convention Center and several downtown hotels, this stop is easy to reach on foot or via the Phoenix light‑rail.
• La Canada Bl & 4th St: This Avondale stop is close to the city hall, local libraries, and the Desert West Park complex.

Taxi, Rideshare, and Shuttle Services

If you prefer a door‑to‑door experience, taxis and rideshare services (such as Uber or Lyft) are readily available throughout Phoenix. Rideshare prices can vary, but they generally fall in a similar range. For groups, a shared shuttle may be a cost‑effective alternative, though you should confirm the expected travel time with the provider.

Driving Your Own Car: What to Know

Traveling by personal vehicle gives you the most flexibility, especially if you plan to explore the West Valley after arriving in Avondale. The route is straightforward: take I‑10 westbound, then use Exit 129 to enter Avondale’s main thoroughfares.

Fuel Cost Estimate

The U.S. Department of Energy’s average regular‑gas price (as of early 2026) is about $4.35 per gallon. For a 30 km (≈ 18.6 mi) trip, a typical sedan burns roughly 0.8 gallons, giving an estimated fuel cost of around $3 (estimated). This figure can fluctuate based on current pump prices, but it remains one of the cheapest ways to make the journey.

Carbon Footprint

According to fuel‑consumption data, the average car emits about 0.79 pounds of CO₂ per mile (Source: fromto.travel).

Our Better Vehicles

What type of vehicle will pick me up?

We can send a shuttle (4+ passengers) or a nice car (1-3 passengers) anytime and take you to or from any address in Arizona, not just the airport. Our vehicles are clean and newer. 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".

To and From Any Address (One Way)

What kind of transportation services do you offer?

We offer a shuttle from Phoenix to Avondale, and other types of transportation like black car and taxi. 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.

Airport Shuttle of Phoenix services rides from anywhere from Phoenix to Avondale. The distance between Avondale AZ and Phoenix AZ is 17.2 miles, which is approximately a 41 minute drive.
