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, or right on time at Sky Harbor. 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 in Phoenix, 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 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 Red Rock?

Trips to and from Red Rock in normal traffic are about an hour and 15 minutes versus two and a half hours on the bus or a shuttle with a bunch of people. Rush hour in Phoenix will normally add 15-45 minutes (30 minutes on the average).

What time should I be picked up?

2 hours and 45 minutes 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 Red Rock to Phoenix takes about an hour and 15 minutes, then 2 hours and 45 minutes before your flight takes off is normally good.

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. All drivers go 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.

Travel Options from Phoenix to Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Whether you prefer the freedom of a road trip, the speed of a flight, or the simplicity of a bus, getting from Phoenix, Arizona, to the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, can be tailored to your schedule and budget. Below is a concise overview of the three primary ways to make the journey, followed by a detailed comparison table, practical road‑trip advice, and answers to the most common questions.

Driving: The Budget Route

If you have a vehicle and enjoy the open road, driving is often the cheapest option. The driving distance between Phoenix and Red Rocks Amphitheatre is about 754 miles (Source: Google Maps), while the straight‑line (“as the crow flies”) distance is roughly 647 miles (Source: Google Maps). The typical drive takes around 14 hours 51 minutes under normal traffic conditions (Source: Google Maps).

Typical route: Depart Phoenix on I‑17 North, which leads you through the high‑desert scenery of Flagstaff. From Flagstaff, hop onto I‑40 East toward Albuquerque, then merge onto I‑25 North toward Denver. Once in Denver, transition to I‑70 West and exit at US 6 (the Golden‑Morrison exit) to reach Red Rocks Park. This itinerary follows well‑maintained interstate highways and provides opportunities for rest stops every 2–3 hours.

Estimated cost: Fuel and vehicle‑wear costs are generally in the range of $130–$200, depending on fuel prices, vehicle fuel efficiency, and tolls (Source: Rome2Rio). If you plan to take scenic detours (e.g., through Sedona or the Four Corners region), budget extra for additional mileage.

• Tip: Check the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) for real‑time road closures. In late summer and early fall, I‑70 at Kipling Street often experiences extended weekend closures that can add significant travel time (Source: CDOT updates).
• Safety: The elevation climbs from roughly 1,000 ft in Phoenix to over 6,400 ft near Red Rocks. Stay hydrated and take breaks to acclimatize.

Flying + Ground Transport: The Fastest Way

For those who value time, a flight from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) to Denver International Airport (DEN) is the quickest route. Flight times average 1 hour 45 minutes to 1 hour 56 minutes on major carriers such as United, Frontier, and American (Source: airline schedules). After landing, you’ll need a rental car, rideshare, or shuttle to cover the final 15–20 miles to Red Rocks, which typically adds another 30–45 minutes depending on traffic.

Alternative private‑jet option: JSX offers non‑stop service from Scottsdale Airport (SCF) to Arapahoe County Airport (APA) in Englewood, about 12 miles from Red Rocks. Flight duration is roughly 1 hour 53 minutes (Source: JSX schedule). This can reduce ground‑travel time for travelers already in the Scottsdale area.

Estimated total travel time: With check‑in, security, and ground transport, expect a total of about 4 hours 5 minutes door‑to‑door (Source: Rome2Rio). Estimated combined cost for flight and ground transport generally falls between $160–$500, depending on airline, booking window, and vehicle choice (Source: Rome2Rio).

• Pro: Ideal for concert‑goers who want to arrive fresh and avoid a long drive.
• Con: Requires extra logistics (rental car, parking at the airport, etc.).

Bus: No Car Needed

Travelers without a vehicle can reach Red Rocks via intercity bus. Major carriers such as Greyhound and FlixBus operate routes that connect Phoenix to Denver, often with a transfer in Albuquerque. The journey typically takes 16 hours 53 minutes (Source: Rome2Rio) and costs an estimated $200–$310 for a one‑way ticket (Source: Rome2Rio). Once in Denver, you can use the Regional Transportation District (RTD) bus service or a rideshare to reach the amphitheatre.

We also don't pack you in with 8-15 people you don't know and stop everywhere.

Does it cost anything to make changes to my reservation?

You can always change the date and time of your reservation at no cost. If you don't know the exact address, you can enter the city for now to reserve it, and give us the full address later.

Our Better Vehicles

What type of vehicle will pick me up?

We send a Red Rock Shuttle or SUV (4+ passengers) or a nice car (1-3 passengers) anytime and take you to or from any address in Red Rock or Phoenix Arizona, not just the 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 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.

Terminal 4 Prearranged is across the crosswalk from Door 3, north side of the building, first floor. The sign says "Prearranged Vehicles 3 NORTH".

To and From Any Address (One Way)

What kind of transportation services do you offer?

We offer a Phoenix to Red Rock Shuttle, and a shuttle from Red Rock to Phoenix, and other types of transportation like black car and taxi. We customize our service to your needs by offering different options like shuttles, black car services, and taxi. We offer many types of vehicles, and different options to make your experience great.

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?

Other Red Rock 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.

Do you have the Red Rock country planned on your Sedona adventure? Red Rock Shuttle can service all your driving needs from anywhere in AZ to the Red Rock State Park, Red Rock Crossing, any Red Rock Park camping location, Cathedral Rock, Slide Rock State Park, and anywhere else you need to go in Sedona.
