Our Better Vehicles

What type of vehicle will pick me up?

We send an airport shuttle or SUV (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 Florence 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 in Phoenix or Florence, 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 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 Florence 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.

The distance between Phoenix to Florence AZ is 63.0 miles, which is a 1 hour and 10 minute drive time. We also service shuttle rides from Florence to Tucson AZ and Tucson to Florence AZ.

Driving from Phoenix to Florence, AZ: What You Need to Know

If you’re planning a trip from Phoenix to Florence, Arizona, the first thing to understand is that the two cities are surprisingly close—about a 1 hour 16 minute non‑stop drive according to MapQuest (source: MapQuest). The route is straightforward, mostly along a mix of Interstate and U.S. Highway, and it offers a chance to see the Sonoran Desert landscape without a long travel commitment. This guide covers the essential details, from mileage and fuel costs to scenic stops and alternative ways to make the journey.

Distance, Travel Time, and Basic Route

The straight‑line (or “as the crow flies”) distance between Phoenix and Florence is roughly 60 miles, but the driving distance is a bit longer due to the highway network. Most drivers follow Interstate 10 (I‑10) eastbound for the first segment, then transition to U.S. Route 60 (US‑60) eastbound toward Florence. This combination keeps the total travel time to about 1 hour 16 minutes under normal traffic conditions (source: MapQuest). The route passes through the cities of Tempe, Mesa, and Apache Junction before reaching Florence, giving you plenty of opportunities to stop for food, gas, or a quick sight‑seeing break.

Fuel Cost Estimate

For those traveling by car, a key concern is the cost of gasoline. Using the U.S. average price of regular gasoline at $4.35 per gallon (source: U.S. Energy Information Administration) and assuming an average fuel efficiency of 25 mpg, the estimated fuel cost for a one‑way trip from Phoenix to Florence is about $10.90. This is a rough estimate based on the provided data and can vary depending on your vehicle’s actual mileage and current pump prices. If you’re traveling in a larger truck or SUV, expect the cost to rise proportionally.

Carbon Footprint and Environmental Impact

Traveling by car also has an environmental dimension. The average passenger vehicle emits roughly 0.79 pounds of CO₂ per mile (source: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency). For the ~60‑mile trip, that translates to about 49.10 pounds of CO₂ emitted per car. While this is a modest amount compared with longer road trips, it’s worth considering if you’re aiming to reduce your carbon footprint. Carpooling, using public transportation, or selecting a more fuel‑efficient vehicle can help lower these emissions.

Halfway Point and Rest Stops

The exact midpoint between Phoenix and Florence lies near the small community of Bapchule, AZ. According to distance‑cities.com, Bapchule is approximately 37 miles from Florence and 35 miles from Phoenix, making it a logical place to pause if you need a break, grab a snack, or refuel. The drive from Florence to Bapchule takes about 46 minutes, while the reverse leg from Phoenix takes roughly 41 minutes (source: distance‑cities.com).

Gas Stations and Amenities Along the Way

• Phoenix Area: Numerous gas stations near I‑10 (e.g., Chevron, Shell, and Costco) are available before you hit the highway.
• Tempe/Mesa Corridor: Look for major chains such as Fry’s Fuel Center and QuikTrip, which also offer convenience stores and restrooms.
• Apache Junction: A few independent stations and a small truck stop provide an opportunity to stretch your legs.
• Bapchule Vicinity: Limited options; it’s advisable to fill up before you leave the more populated areas. The Gila River Indian Community has a few convenience stores.

Scenic Stops Near the Halfway Point

If you have a little extra time, consider a quick detour to the Superstition Mountains, which are visible from US‑60 just east of Apache Junction. The landscape offers dramatic rock formations, hiking trails, and photo opportunities. Another nearby attraction is the Goldfield Ghost Town, a historic site where you can explore old western buildings and enjoy a meal at a rustic restaurant.

Alternative Ways to Travel: A Quick Comparison

Not everyone wants to drive, and there are several other options for getting from Phoenix to Florence. Below is a comparison of the most common methods, highlighting travel time, flexibility, and notable considerations.

Which Option Is Best for You?

If you value speed and independence, driving yourself is the quickest option. Rideshares offer a middle ground—someone else does the driving while you can relax, but expect a modest increase in travel time due to possible passenger pickups. Shuttle services are ideal for groups or those on a budget, though you’ll need to adhere to the provider’s schedule. Public transit is the most economical but requires patience and careful planning, especially if connections are involved.

Road Conditions, Traffic Tips, and Safety

The Phoenix‑to‑Florence corridor is generally well‑maintained, but there are a few points to keep in mind:

• I‑10 Construction Zones: Ongoing roadwork near Tempe can cause lane reductions, especially on weekends. Check the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) real‑time map before you leave.
• US‑60 Two‑Lane Sections: East of Apache Junction, US‑60 narrows to two lanes (one each direction). Drive cautiously, as speeds can be higher and passing opportunities limited.
• Desert Heat: Summer temperatures can exceed 100 °F, so keep water in the car, ensure your coolant is topped off, and watch for tire pressure changes.
• Wildlife: Early morning and late evening drives may encounter javelina or cattle crossing the road, particularly near the Gila River Indian Community.

Best Times to Travel

To avoid the heaviest traffic, consider departing early in the morning (before 7 a.m.) or later in the evening (after 7 p.m.). Weekdays tend to be less congested than Fridays and weekends, when many Phoenix residents head to the East Valley for weekend getaways.

Scenic Stops and Things to Do Along the Way

Even on a short drive, you can enrich the experience with a few quick stops:

• Papago Park (Phoenix): Famous for the “Hole in the Rock” and panoramic views of the city. A 10‑minute detour off I‑10.
• Tempe Town Lake: A pleasant place for a short walk or to watch kayakers. Accessible via the US‑60 exit near Tempe.
• Super
