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.

Shuttle Services: Groome Transportation

Groome Transportation offers a direct shuttle from Phoenix Denny’s Deer Valley to the Embry‑Riddle Aeronautical University in about 2 hours. One‑way fares are typically in the $50 – $70 range. 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. It lies 66 mi from Phoenix and 46 mi from Chino Valley. From Phoenix, the drive to Cordes Lakes takes about 1 hour 8 minutes, while the leg from Chino Valley is roughly 1 hour. The

Our Better Vehicles

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

Your Chino Valley 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 security will send people to the wrong place, so it's better to follow the directions below. The Sky Harbor 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".

Things You Should Know

Does it make sense to take an Uber or Lyft?

Uber and Lyft drivers often cancel once they arrive in Phoenix or Chino Valley, because the app doesn't tell them where they are going until they arrive at your home. Usually they 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 PHX 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?

Other shuttle companies that do shared rides in Phoenix and Chino Valley will try to pick you up an hour or two earlier, but they make no promises about when you will actually get to Sky Harbor. 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.

The distance between Phoenix to Chino Valley AZ is about 108 miles, which is approximately a 2 hour drive.
