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 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 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?

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 Clarkdale Shuttle 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 Clarkdale?

Trips to and from Clarkdale in normal traffic are about 2 hours 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 hours and 30 minutes before 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 Clarkdale to Phoenix takes about 2 hours, then 3 and a half hours before your flight takes off is normally good.

Phoenix to Clarkdale: Distance, Travel Time, and Best Routes

Whether you’re heading to the historic copper‑smelting town of Clarkdale for a weekend getaway or a quick day‑trip, knowing the most efficient route can save you time and fuel. The straight‑line distance between Phoenix and Clarkdale is about 53.55 miles, but the driving distance is longer due to the mountainous terrain of central Arizona. According to route‑planning data, a non‑stop drive takes roughly 2 hours 6 minutes under normal traffic conditions (source: distance‑cities.com). The trip can be made on a combination of Interstate 17 (I‑17), U.S. Route 60 (US‑60), and Arizona State Route 89 (AZ‑89), with a possible alternative via US‑89A that swings through Flagstaff. Below you’ll find detailed facts, a comparison of transportation options, environmental impact, and the best places to stop along the way.

Key Travel Facts: Distance and Duration

• Straight‑line distance: 53.55 mi (source: distance‑cities.com)
• Estimated driving time (non‑stop): 2 h 6 min
• Estimated fuel cost (one‑way): $18.71 (based on an average U.S. price of $4.35 per gallon of regular gasoline) (source: distance‑cities.com)
• CO₂ emissions (average car): 84.27 lb of CO₂ for the trip, which equals roughly 0.79 lb of CO₂ per mile (source: distance‑cities.com)
• Halfway point: Cordes Lakes, AZ – located 66 mi from Phoenix and 45 mi from Clarkdale (source: distance‑cities.com)

These numbers give you a solid baseline for planning fuel stops, budgeting for a rental car, or evaluating the environmental impact of your trip.

Driving the Phoenix‑to‑Clarkdale Route: Highways, Highlights, and Stops

Primary Route: I‑17 → US‑60 → AZ‑89

Start your journey in downtown Phoenix by heading north on Interstate 17. After about 30 minutes you’ll pass through Black Canyon City, a small community that offers a quick rest stop, a gas station, and a chance to stretch your legs. Stay on I‑17 until you reach the junction with U.S. Route 60 (Exit 262). Take US‑60 west toward Prescott. The drive on US‑60 is scenic, winding through the Mogollon Rim area and offering views of pine‑covered hills.

Once you reach Prescott, follow the signs for Arizona State Route 89 (AZ‑89) north. The road descends into the Verde Valley, passing the charming towns of Prescott Valley and Jerome. Jerome, perched on the side of Mingus Mountain, is known for its historic copper mining heritage and vibrant arts scene. Just a few miles further, AZ‑89 drops you into Clarkdale, where you can explore the Clarkdale Historic District and the nearby Tuzigoot National Monument.

Alternative Route: I‑17 → US‑89A via Flagstaff

If you prefer a more leisurely drive with the option to explore Flagstaff and the San Francisco Peaks, consider staying on I‑17 north until you reach Flagstaff (about 2 hours from Phoenix). From there, take U.S. Route 89A southward. US‑89A is a designated scenic byway that winds through the Coconino National Forest, offering spectacular red‑rock views near Sedona before descending into the Verde Valley.

Our Better Vehicles

What type of vehicle will pick me up?

We send an airport shuttle (4+ passengers) or a nice car (1-3 passengers) anytime and take you to or from any address in Arizona, not just Sky Harbor. 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

Your Clarkdale 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. PHX 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)

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 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 Sky Harbor 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 Clarkdale and Phoenix will try to pick you up an hour or two earlier, but they make no promises about when you will actually get to PHX. 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.

Need a ride to Clarkdale to take the Verde Canyon train? Just tell us your Verde Canyon train schedule and we will drive you there. That being said if it is not a night train which only runs on Saturdays most of the time, the train wants you there at least by noon for your 1 o clock departure.

To help with your search here are some frequently asked questions about Verde Canyon train. How long is the Verde Canyon train ride? Your train ride is around 4 hours round trip. What is the Verde Canyon railroad route map? Your train will head along the Verde River just west of Clarkdale which takes you to the Perkinsville ghost town.

What are the Verde Canyon railroad prices? The Verde Canyon railroad packages and prices vary depending on the experience you want. Regular travel for an adult is 64.95 / person and 44.95 for children 2-12. Trying to travel in style the Verde Canyon railroad first class price is 89.95 / person which include a free appetizer. Looking for a discount? Verde Canyon railroad discounts include senior, military, and AAA.

The this a beautiful ride with plenty of opportunities to get your Verde Canyon photos. I hope this information was helpful, we go above and beyond to make the customer experience worthwhile. To really enjoy your trip let us drive you there we pick you up directly from your house with no extra stops.
