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 in Phoenix and Chino Valley, or right on time at the Sky Harbor. 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 in Phoenix 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 in Phoenix 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 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 Chino Valley 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 Chino Valley?
Trips to and from Chino Valley in normal traffic are about an hour and 50 minutes versus 4 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?
3.5-4 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 Chino Valley to Phoenix takes about 1 hour and 50 minutes, then 3.5-4 hours before your flight takes off is normally good.
Our Better Drivers
Who are your drivers?
Most of our shuttle drivers have been driving professionally with the public for more than 10 years. They have excellent people skills and are usually very knowledgeable about the area (what to do in Chino Valley, 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.

How Far Is Chino Valley From Phoenix?
Chino Valley sits about 120 miles north‑west of Phoenix as the crow flies, but the road distance that most travelers cover is roughly 107 miles (Source: distance‑cities.com). If you drive non‑stop on the most direct highways, the trip takes close to 2 hours (1 hour 57 minutes) under normal traffic conditions (Source: Rome2Rio). This makes a day‑trip from Phoenix to Chino Valley perfectly feasible, whether you’re heading to the historic Prescott area, the local universities, or the surrounding natural beauty.
Straight‑Line vs. Driving Distance
The great‑circle (straight‑line) distance of about 120 mi reflects the geographic separation between the two cities, while the driving distance of 107 mi accounts for the actual route along Interstate 17, U.S. Route 60, and Arizona State Route 69. The difference matters if you’re planning fuel costs or carbon impact, because those calculations are based on the actual miles traveled on the road.
Fuel Cost and Environmental Impact
Using the U.S. average gasoline price of $4.35 per gallon (as of the 2023 estimate) and assuming an average fuel efficiency of 25 mpg, the estimated gasoline cost for a one‑way drive is $18.93 (Source: distance‑cities.com). The same trip produces roughly 85.23 lb of CO₂, which translates to about 0.79 lb of CO₂ per mile. If you’re trying to reduce your carbon footprint, consider carpooling or opting for a shuttle service.
How to Get From Phoenix to Chino Valley
Driving: The Quickest and Most Flexible Option
The most popular way to reach Chino Valley is by car. The typical route follows I‑17 north for roughly 70 mi, then transitions to U.S. 60 west for about 15 mi, before joining AZ‑69 north for the final stretch into Chino Valley. This highway combination provides a smooth, well‑maintained drive with scenic views of the Sonoran Desert and the pine‑covered foothills of the Bradshaw Mountains.
Travel time is approximately 1 hour 57 minutes in light traffic, and the estimated fuel cost ranges from $19 – $28 (price varies with current gas prices). The drive lets you stop at several charming towns along the way, such as Black Canyon City, Rock Springs, and Cordes Lakes, where you can grab a coffee or stretch your legs.
Public Bus: Valley Metro
For those who prefer public transit, Valley Metro operates a bus route that connects Phoenix to the Deer Valley area, with a transfer to a shuttle that continues toward Chino Valley. The journey starts at the 27th Ave & McDowell Rd station, travels to Deer Valley Rd & 27th Ave, and then a shuttle (often provided by Groome Transportation) proceeds to the Embry‑Riddle Aeronautical University campus, which is only a few miles from Chino Valley. The total travel time is around 4 hours 11 minutes, and the estimated fare is $75 – $110 (prices are subject to change). This option is budget‑friendly and allows you to relax without worrying about driving.

The shuttle runs on a schedule, and reservations can be made online through the Groome website. It’s a comfortable middle ground between driving yourself and taking the full public‑bus network.
Rideshare and Carpool Options
Rideshare services such as Uber or Lyft also operate on this corridor, with pricing that fluctuates based on demand and the exact pick‑up/drop‑off points. For a solo traveler, a rideshare can be more expensive than gas plus tolls, but splitting the cost with other passengers can make it comparable to the shuttle fare.
