  Our Pickup Locations

  Your Coolidge 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".

  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 Phoenix and Coolidge 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.

  From Coolidge AZ to Phoenix AZ is 56.2 miles, which is approximately a 1 hour and 10 minute drive. Coolidge Shuttle can service all your driving needs to and from anywhere in Arizona such as Tucson AZ (66 miles) and Mesa AZ (42.8 miles).

  Phoenix to Coolidge, AZ: Your Complete Travel Guide

  If you’re planning a trip from Arizona’s capital city to the small, historic community of Coolidge, you’ll find several practical options that balance speed, cost, and convenience. Whether you’re commuting for work, visiting family, or exploring the state’s southern corridor, understanding the best routes, transport choices, and travel tips will help you make the most of your journey. Below is a comprehensive guide that answers the most common questions, provides a side‑by‑side comparison of travel modes, and highlights useful local details—all based on publicly available information.

  Driving: The Fastest Way to Cover the 80‑Mile Route

  For most travelers, driving is the quickest and most flexible option. The distance between Phoenix and Coolidge is roughly 80 miles (source: Rome2Rio), and the trip can be completed in about 55 minutes under normal traffic conditions (source: Rome2Rio). The primary highways you’ll use are U.S. Route 60 (US‑60) eastbound out of Phoenix, then Arizona State Route 87 (AZ‑87) southward to Coolidge. If you start from the Phoenix Sky Harbor area, you can also connect to Interstate 10 (I‑10) eastbound before joining US‑60, which adds a brief detour but can be convenient depending on your departure point.

  Key Highway Segments

  • US‑60 East: Runs from downtown Phoenix through Tempe and Mesa, passing notable landmarks such as the Arizona State University campus and the Superstition Mountains vista points.
  • AZ‑87 South: Leaves US‑60 near the town of Chandler Heights and heads south through the desert landscape, passing close to the historic Casa Grande Ruins National Monument before reaching Coolidge.
  • Optional I‑10 + US‑60: If you’re coming from the west side of Phoenix, take I‑10 east to the US‑60 interchange at the Superstition Mountains area, then follow US‑60 east.

  The estimated fuel cost for a typical passenger car is roughly $9–$14 (source: Rome2Rio, cost is an estimate based on average U.S. gas prices). This makes driving not only the fastest option but also one of the most economical for solo travelers or small groups.

  Halfway Point: Bapchule, AZ

  If you need to break up the drive or meet someone halfway, Bapchule, AZ is the nearest town to the route’s midpoint. Bapchule sits about 35 miles from Phoenix and 30 miles from Coolidge (source: distance‑cities.com). From either city, you can reach Bapchule in roughly 40–42 minutes, making it a convenient stop for a quick coffee or restroom break.

  Public Transportation: Bus, Taxi, and Shuttle Options

  If you prefer not to drive, several public transport services connect Phoenix and Coolidge. While there’s no direct single‑mode transit line that covers the entire route, you can combine options to reach your destination comfortably.

  Bus Service (Greyhound)

  Greyhound operates routes that link Phoenix to smaller towns in central Arizona. The most relevant service runs from Phoenix Bus Station to Eloy Ave, which is the nearest stop to Coolidge (source: Greyhound). From Eloy, you’ll need a short taxi or rideshare to cover the remaining ~8 miles into Coolidge. The combined bus‑plus‑taxi journey takes approximately 2 hours and costs an estimated $55–$85 (source: Rome2Rio, cost is an estimate).

  Taxi and Rideshare

  Traditional taxis and rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft operate throughout the Phoenix metropolitan area. For a more budget‑friendly ride, consider sharing a rideshare with another passenger heading the same direction.

  Shuttle Services

  Airport shuttles and private van services often provide door‑to‑door transport between Phoenix and Coolidge. These may be pre‑booked and can be a comfortable alternative, especially for groups or those with extra luggage. Public Transit

  Transport Mode

  Approx. According to data from distance‑cities.com, a typical passenger vehicle emits roughly 0.79 pounds of CO₂ per mile. For the 52‑mile driving distance (the road distance reported by some sources), that translates to about 44 pounds of CO₂ per trip (source: distance‑cities.com). If you choose public transit or car‑pooling, you can significantly reduce the emissions per traveler.
