Our Better Vehicles

Most vehicles are luxury and full size. We have Mercedes Sprinters, Lincoln Navigators, Chrysler 300's, Lexus ES300 Hybrids, Lincoln MKZ's and a variety of other vehicles to meet your needs.

Our Pickup Locations (Phoenix)

Your Flagstaff 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. Phoenix 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 at your house, hotel or NAU in Phoenix or Flagstaff, 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 to Flagstaff, and not get paid for two hours to drive back to Phoenix, or they are unavailable to work for that long. This may result in you missing your Phoenix 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 Phoenix 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 Phoenix and Flagstaff 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 in Phoenix or Arizona shuttle with a lot of people?

Other Flagstaff shuttle companies that do shared rides in Phoenix and Flagstaff 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 in Phoenix. If you're on a tight schedule, the shared ride option with another AZ 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.

Flagstaff flights range from $225 - $450 per person and do not take you all of the way 2 the Grand Canyon Village. You will still need a ride to take you the rest of the way. They say it only takes 45 minutes, but you normally wait an hour to get on your flight and then another 30 minutes to get off and get your bags, so it really takes about 2 hours and 15 minutes. Taking a shuttle is a lot less expensive and the same amount of time assuming they pick you up on your schedule like we do and there are no delays.
There is no Phoenix or Flagstaff train. Once you get to Flagstaff you can take the Amtrak east or west across the United States, but the train does not go north and south between PHX and Flagstaff.
Traveling by shuttle from Phoenix to Flagstaff, drive time is 2 hours and 15 minutes with us or by car. The Greyhound to Flagstaff and other shared ride shuttles normally take about 4-5 hours.
Often called the Flagstaff express, our service is non-stop and door to door taking you a lot less time to get home or any destination in Arizona.

Phoenix to Flagstaff Shuttle Overview

Traveling between Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) and Flagstaff, Arizona, is a common need for visitors heading to the Grand Canyon, Sedona, or the mountain‑town lifestyle of Flagstaff itself. The dedicated shuttle service operated by Groome Transportation provides a direct, door‑to‑door link that eliminates the stress of navigating Interstate 17, managing winter mountain conditions, or arranging multiple transfers. According to Groome Transportation, the service runs seven days a week with pick‑ups from both the airport terminal and the Metro Center Mall in Phoenix, offering frequent departures throughout the day (groometransportation.com). This section outlines the core benefits, route specifics, and practical details that make the shuttle a preferred choice for travelers.

Why Choose the Shuttle Over a Rental Car

When comparing transportation options, several factors influence the decision beyond the base fare. The shuttle offers predictable scheduling, professional drivers familiar with the I‑17 corridor, and the ability to relax or work during the approximately two‑hour journey. In contrast, renting a car at Phoenix airport typically incurs additional taxes and fees that can add roughly 30 % to the base rental rate, plus fuel, insurance, and potential one‑way drop‑off charges if you plan to leave the vehicle in Flagstaff. The shuttle removes these variables, providing a single, all‑inclusive price that covers driver gratuity, luggage handling, and door‑to‑door service. For travelers who prefer not to navigate winter weather or mountain grades, the shuttle offers a safe, comfortable alternative that operates year‑round.

Key Stops and Route Details

The Phoenix‑to‑Flagstaff shuttle follows a well‑defined route that connects major hubs and popular destinations. Below is a comparison of the primary pick‑up and drop‑off locations, the highways traversed, and notable landmarks along the way.

Sedona Center (Seasonal)	300 N Highway 89A, Sedona, AZ 86336-4223	Shuttle operates March through October; wait behind the Sedona Center in the parking lot behind Canyon Breeze Restaurant.

The journey primarily follows Interstate 17 northbound, passing through the scenic Verde Valley and the historic town of Williams, Arizona—home to Bearizona Wildlife Park and a classic stretch of Route 66.

Booking and Reservation Information

To guarantee a seat, Groome Transportation advises making a reservation at least 24 hours in advance. Reservations can be secured online through the company’s website or by calling the dedicated reservation line at 928‑350‑8466. For those requiring home pick‑up or drop‑off service, advance notice of 36 hours is recommended, and requests must be confirmed by calling the same number before 12:00 pm the day prior to travel. The same phone line is used to add connecting reservations—for example, a shuttle from Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon, which incurs an additional $8 park entry fee and a temporary fuel surcharge of $2.00 per passenger effective May 5, 2026 (groometransportation.com). All bookings receive a confirmation email with pickup instructions, estimated travel time, and contact details for the driver.
