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 Gilbert Shuttle last minute, it's a good idea to make your shuttle 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 Gilbert?
Trips to and from Phoenix and Gilbert in normal traffic are about 20 minutes versus an hour 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?
2-2.5 hours 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 Gilbert to Phoenix takes about 20 minutes, then 2-2.5 hours before your flight takes off is normally good.

Paragraph: The most direct route between downtown Phoenix (85003) and Gilbert (85296) covers roughly 25 miles (40 km) when you follow the combined stretch of US‑60 and I‑10 (source: MapQuest). In ideal traffic conditions, the trip takes about 31 minutes of continuous driving. For planning purposes, many travel estimators model a slightly longer distance of about 38 miles (60 km) and a reference drive time of roughly 1 hour 22 minutes at a modeled speed of 37 mph (source: distance‑cities.com). The difference stems from alternate route selections, such as surface‑street options versus the limited‑access highway corridor. NowMajor Highways and Route Options
Paragraph: The corridor is served primarily by two interstate and US‑highway segments.US‑60 (Superstition Mountains Highway)
This highway runs east‑west through the East Valley, beginning at the I‑10/US‑60 interchange near downtown Phoenix and extending to Apache Junction. It passes through Tempe, Mesa and provides direct access to the Santan Freeway (AZ‑87) for those who wish to detour south toward Chandler or Gilbert’s western neighborhoods.I‑10 (Papago Freeway)
I‑10 is the principal north‑south artery in the Phoenix metropolitan area. The segment that intersects US‑60 near Tempe forms a key link for travelers heading east toward Gilbert. By merging onto I‑10 northbound from US‑60, you can quickly transition to the east‑west Santan Freeway (AZ‑87) or continue on US‑60 all the way into Gilbert’s town center.Alternative Routes
Some drivers prefer AZ‑87 (Santan Freeway) after reaching Mesa, which adds a few miles but can avoid congestion at the US‑60/I‑10 interchange during peak hours. Others may take the historic Apache Boulevard (surface street) for a more leisurely drive, though travel time increases significantly. NowFuel Cost Estimate and CO₂ Emissions
Paragraph: Using the average U.S. gasoline price of $4.35 per gallon (source: public fuel‑price data) and the vehicle’s estimated fuel consumption of 1.3 gallons (5.0 L) for the 25‑mile trip, the approximate gasoline expense is $3.87 (source: drivingdirections.com). This calculation assumes a typical passenger car achieving about 30 mpg (U.S. average) and does not account for variations in fuel efficiency or fluctuating pump prices. Paragraph: The same 25‑mile journey produces roughly 17.44 pounds of CO₂, which translates to about 0.79 pounds of CO₂ per mile (source: distance‑cities.com). These figures reflect the average carbon intensity of gasoline‐powered vehicles in the United States and can serve as a baseline for estimating personal carbon footprints when planning repeat trips. NowHalfway Point: Guadalupe, AZ and Tempe, AZ
Paragraph: For travelers who need a rest stop or wish to split the drive, the geographic midpoint between Phoenix and Gilbert lies near the small town of Guadalupe, AZ. Guadalupe is about 11 miles from Phoenix and 13 miles from Gilbert, making it roughly a 15‑minute drive from Phoenix and 16‑minutes from Gilbert (source: distance‑cities.com).Tempe, AZ – The Nearest Major City
If you prefer a larger city with more amenities, Tempe is the nearest major city to the halfway point. It sits 10 miles from Phoenix and 14 miles from Gilbert, with travel times of about 15 minutes from Phoenix and 18 minutes from Gilbert (source: MapQuest). Tempe offers numerous restaurants, parks, and cultural attractions such as Tempe Town Lake, making it a convenient stop for a quick break. NowPoints of Interest Along the Phoenix‑Gilbert Corridor
Paragraph: Even on a short drive, the route passes several notable landmarks worth a brief visit.- Tempe Town Lake: A 2‑mile reservoir on the Salt River, offering paddle‑boat rentals, walking paths, and scenic views. It’s located just off US‑60, about a 10‑minute detour from the main route.
- Desert Botanical Garden (Phoenix): While not directly on the highway, this world‑renowned garden showcases arid‑land plants and is a 5‑minute drive from I‑10 near the Papago Park area.
- Agritopia (Gilbert): A planned community known for its farm‑to‑table restaurants, organic gardens, and the famous The Farm restaurant. It’s situated near the intersection of AZ‑87 and Pecos Road, a short drive from the main route.
- Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch (Gilbert): A wildlife habitat with more than 200 species of birds, walking trails, and educational exhibits. It’s located southeast of Gilbert’s town center, accessible via the US‑60 eastbound exit at Greenfield Road.
