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 in Phoenix and Globe, or right on time at PHX. 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?
You can always 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 Globe 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 Globe?
Trips to and from Globe in normal traffic are about an hour and 30 minutes versus about three 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?
3-3.5 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 Globe to Phoenix takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes, then 3-3.5 hours before your flight takes off is normally good.
Our Better Drivers
Who are your drivers?
Most of our shuttle drivers have been driving professionally with the public for more than 10 years. They have excellent people skills and are usually very knowledgeable about the area (what to do, best restaurants, history and attractions). Some of our shuttle drivers are also professional tour guides that go to the Grand Canyon, Globe, Phoenix, and many other destinations.
We have high standards for our shuttle drivers including safety, reliability and customer service. They are very helpful with bags. They get the door for you. Everyone goes through extensive background checks with Sky Harbor in order to pick up passengers.
We also train them by driving them through PHX, explaining all the rules, and showing them where to pick people up and drop people off.
Continuing past Globe out to the San Carlos Apache Reservation? Use our San Carlos Sengaah airport shuttle — same Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX) pickup, routed US-60 E → US-70 through Globe and on to San Carlos.

Phoenix to Globe, AZ: Your Comprehensive Travel Guide
Whether you’re heading to the historic mining town of Globe for work, a weekend getaway, or a visit to the surrounding natural attractions, understanding the best routes, transport options, and local points of interest will help you plan a smooth trip. This guide answers the most common questions and supplies practical advice, all based on publicly available mapping and travel data.
Essential Travel Facts
- Distance: The driving distance between downtown Phoenix and Globe is roughly 90 miles (≈145 km) (Source: MapQuest).
- Primary Highway: U.S. Route 60 (US‑60), also called the “Old West Highway,” provides a direct, high‑capacity link between the two cities.
- Estimated Travel Time: Under normal traffic conditions, the trip takes about 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours. Peak‑hour travel can add 20‑30 minutes.
- Elevation Gain: The route climbs from roughly 1,000 ft in Phoenix to about 3,500 ft in Globe, crossing the transitional desert and pinyon‑juniper landscapes of central Arizona.
- Road Conditions: US‑60 is a well‑maintained two‑lane highway with occasional passing lanes; it is paved for the entire length.
Driving the Phoenix‑Globe Corridor
Route Overview
Begin your journey by heading east on Interstate 10 (I‑10) from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport or downtown Phoenix. After about 15 miles, transition to US‑60 north‑east at the I‑10/US‑60 interchange near Tempe (Exit 150). Follow US‑60 as it sweeps through the East Valley, passing the cities of Mesa and Apache Junction. The highway then narrows to a two‑lane road beyond the town of Goldfield, climbing gently toward the historic copper‑mining towns of Superior and later Globe.
Scenic Stops Along US‑60
- Canyon Lake: Located just east of Apache Junction, this reservoir offers picnicking areas and a marina. It’s a popular spot for a quick stretch and a photo opportunity (Source: Google Maps).
- Superior: A former copper‑mining hub, Superior’s downtown features preserved historic buildings, the iconic “Superior Town Hall,” and local diners. The town is a convenient halfway point for a short break.
- Picketpost Mountain: Visible from the highway near Superior, this distinctive peak is a favorite among hikers. The trailhead is a short drive from US‑60.
- Globe’s Historic Main Street: Once you arrive, explore the restored 1900s architecture, museums, and local shops.
Alternative Routes
State Route 87 (Payson Loop)
If you prefer a longer, more mountainous drive, you can take State Route 87 north from the Phoenix area to Payson, then continue east on SR‑260/ US‑60 to Globe. This route adds roughly 40 miles and about an extra hour of travel time, but it showcases the tall pine forests of the Mogollon Rim and offers a cooler climate during summer months.
When to Use the Alternate
- During winter, SR‑87 may experience snow or ice; check current road conditions before departure.
- Travelers seeking a scenic “road‑trip” experience often find the Payson Loop rewarding, especially in spring and fall.

What to Expect on the Road
Traffic Patterns
Weekday mornings see a moderate increase in traffic on I‑10 and US‑60 as commuters travel from the East Valley toward Phoenix. Afternoon rush hour (4 pm‑6 pm) can cause slower speeds on the same corridors. Weekends tend to be lighter, making the drive smoother.
Rest Stops and Fuel

- Rest Areas: The Arizona Department of Transportation maintains a rest area near the summit of US‑60, about 15 miles west of Globe. It offers picnic tables, restrooms, and vending machines.
- Food & Drink: Quick‑service restaurants and coffee shops are available in Mesa, Apache Junction, and Superior.
Local Highlights and Things to Do in Globe
