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.

Heading there from Mayer? See our Cordes Lakes airport shuttle page for direct service.
How long does it take to go from Phoenix or Mayer?
Trips to and from Mayer in normal traffic are about an hour and 15 minutes versus about 2 and a half 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 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 Mayer to Phoenix takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes, then 3 hours before your flight takes off is normally good.

Major Highways and Landmarks
Starting in Phoenix, you’ll hop onto I‑17 northbound, the main arterial that connects the Valley of the Sun to the northern Arizona communities. As you leave the city limits, you’ll notice the iconic “Skyline” of downtown Phoenix disappearing in your rear‑view mirror. About 20 miles north, you’ll pass the interchange with US‑60 (Exit 232). Here, you’ll head west on US‑60, traveling through the towns of New River and Black Canyon City, where the desert landscape gradually gives way to rolling hills and occasional pine clusters.
Just before entering Mayer, you’ll transition onto AZ‑69 south. This short state route is known for its gentle curves and views of the Bradshaw Mountains. Landmarks to watch for include the historic Mayer Train Depot (a reminder of the area’s railroad heritage) and the nearby Prescott National Forest, which offers numerous trailheads for those who wish to explore further.

Travel times can vary based on traffic, weather, and your departure time. In normal conditions, the drive takes about 1 hour 24 minutes without any stops. During weekday mornings (7‑9 am) and late afternoons (4‑6 pm), expect an extra 10‑20 minutes due to heavier traffic on I‑17. gasoline price of $4.35 per gallon (Source: distance‑cities.com). This figure assumes a typical passenger vehicle achieving about 25 mpg and covers the one‑way journey of roughly 37 miles (including some extra distance for on‑road routing).

Our Pickup Locations
Your 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, 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.
How reliable is the Greyhound bus or an Arizona shuttle with a lot of people?
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 distance from Phoenix to Mayer AZ is 73.1 miles, which is approximately a 1 hour and 10 minute drive. Mayer Shuttle can also take you anywhere in AZ, from Mayer to Flagstaff AZ, or from Mayer to Prescott AZ.
The distance from Mayer to Prescott AZ is 101.1 miles, which is approximately a 1 hour and 47 minute drive. Mayer Shuttle provides a non-stop, private service with just you and the driver in the car. The Greyhound Bus can have multiple stops and many other passengers that can take hours to get to your location. Our service goes straight to anywhere you need to go!
