We pick you up on your schedule 24/7. Our professional shuttle drivers are normally 5-10 minutes early at your home in Phoenix, 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?

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 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 is it from Phoenix or Page?

Trips to and from Lake Powell in normal traffic are about 4 hours and 25 minutes versus about 9 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?

Trips to Lake Powell are normally 4 hours and 25 minutes. 6-6.5 hours before your flight is normally enough time if you are going to Sky Harbor. 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 Page to Phoenix takes about 4 hours and 25 minutes, then 6 hours before your flight takes off is normally good.

Phoenix to Lake Powell: The Fastest Way to Reach the Lake in 2025–2026

If you’re planning a trip from Phoenix to Lake Powell, the most common and convenient option is driving. The route stretches roughly 280 – 285 miles and typically takes 4½ – 5½ hours, depending on traffic, weather, and your stops along the way. The drive follows Interstate 17 north from Phoenix to Flagstaff, then continues on U.S. Route 89 all the way to Page, the gateway town for Lake Powell. This corridor provides a mix of high‑desert scenery, historic route‑side attractions, and easy access to fuel and food, making it the preferred choice for most travelers.

Why Drive? Benefits of the Phoenix‑to‑Lake‑Powell Road Trip

• Flexibility: You set your own schedule, can stop whenever you like, and aren’t bound by bus or flight timetables.
• Scenic Variety: The route passes through the pine‑covered Coconino Plateau, past the red‑rock vistas near Cameron, and across the Colorado River at Glen Canyon Dam.
• Cost‑Effective: When split among multiple passengers, fuel and toll costs can be lower than a scheduled bus or charter flight.
• Access to Attractions: Numerous side trips—such as Horseshoe Bend, the Navajo Bridge, and the town of Flagstaff—are easy to incorporate.

Driving Directions: Phoenix → Flagstaff → Page

Step‑by‑Step Route

1. Start in Phoenix: Head north on Interstate 17 (I‑17). The highway climbs through the Sonoran Desert before entering the mountainous terrain of the Coconino National Forest.
2. Flagstaff (≈ 150 mi, 2 hrs): Exit I‑17 at Flagstaff (US 180/US 89). This is a good spot for a break, fuel up, and grab a bite. The city offers restaurants, hotels, and a historic downtown.
3. Flagstaff to Page (≈ 135 mi, 2–2.5 hrs): From Flagstaff, follow U.S. Route 89 north. The road winds through the Navajo Nation, passing the small community of Cameron (known for its proximity to the Grand Canyon’s East Rim) and the striking red‑rock formations of the Painted Desert.
4. Crossing Glen Canyon Dam: Just before reaching Page, US 89 crosses the Colorado River over the Glen Canyon Bridge, giving travelers a first glimpse of Lake Powell’s blue waters.
5. Arrival in Page: Continue into Page. From here, the Wahweap Marina is about 7 miles southeast, Antelope Point Marina roughly 10–12 miles east, and the Horseshoe Bend trailhead about 5 miles south on US 89.

Scenic Stops & Points of Interest Along the Way

• Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument: Located just north of Flagstaff, this site offers a short hike through a lava flow and cinder cones. (≈ 30 min detour from I‑17.)
• Wupatki National Monument: Near Sunset Crater, these ancient pueblo ruins provide a glimpse into the region’s pre‑historic cultures.
• Cameron Trading Post: A historic stop for snacks, souvenirs, and a view of the Grand Canyon’s eastern rim.
• Navajo Bridge (Colorado River): The pedestrian walkway adjacent to US 89 offers stunning views of the Glen Canyon Dam and the river below.
• Horseshoe Bend: The iconic meander of the Colorado River is just a 5‑minute drive south of Page on US 89, with a well‑marked trailhead and ample parking.
• Glen Canyon Dam Overlook: A short side road near Page provides a panoramic view of the dam and the beginning of Lake Powell.

Alternative Ways to Reach Lake Powell from Phoenix

While driving is the most popular method, several other options exist for travelers who prefer not to drive or who are short on time.

By Bus

Several intercity bus lines operate routes that connect Phoenix to Page, usually with a transfer in Flagstaff. Travel time is longer—typically 7 – 9 hours—because of the stopovers and lower speeds on two‑lane highways. Fares generally fall in the $70 – $110 range, making this a budget‑friendly choice for solo travelers. Keep in mind that bus schedules can be limited, especially on weekends and holidays.

By Private Charter Flight

For those seeking the fastest journey, a private charter flight from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport to Page Municipal Airport takes about 1 hour. This option is best suited for groups or business travelers who value speed over cost. Charter prices typically range from $180 – $400 per person, depending on aircraft type, fuel costs, and availability. While convenient, this mode requires advance booking and may involve additional ground transportation upon landing.

What type of vehicle will pick me up?

We send a Lake Powell 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 PHX. Our vehicles are clean and newer.

Our Pickup Locations

Your airport 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.

Things You Should Know

Does it make sense to take an Uber or Lyft?

Uber and Lyft don't go to Lake Powell, AZ. It's just too far, and you won't be able to find a driver that far from Phoenix, AZ. 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. There are also a lot of negative news about Uber and Lyft drivers performing criminal acts.

How reliable is the Greyhound bus or an Arizona shuttle with a lot of people?

The Greyhound and Arizona Shuttle do not go to Page. There is no Phoenix to Page bus. Other shuttle companies that do shared rides 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 Phoenix to Page drive has a lot of beautiful scenery, the north rim of the Grand Canyon past Marble Canyon, and Antelope Canyon. The distance from PHX or Phoenix, AZ to Page, AZ is 272.9 miles depending on where you are getting picked up and dropped off in Phoenix and Page.

Phoenix to Page AZ flights are $4,690 and up per person plus baggage fees and taxes. Phoenix no longer has airlines that fly to Page Arizona. Your only option is to take a Page shuttle, and we are the only company that provides transportation to Page, AZ from PHX. We also go anywhere in Arizona including Phoenix - Sedona.
