Phoenix AZ to Tempe AZ: Distance, Drive Time & Route

How far is it from Phoenix AZ to Tempe AZ? The trip is about 12 miles - roughly a 20 minute drive from downtown Phoenix to Tempe via Loop 202 in normal traffic. Rush hour can add 15-45 minutes to the drive, so plan around peak commute windows if you have a flight to catch or a meeting to make.

How long does it take to go from Phoenix or Tempe?

Trips to and from Tempe in normal traffic are about 10 minutes versus about 30 minutes on the bus or a shuttle with a bunch of people. Rush hour will normally add 15-45 minutes (30 minutes on the average). Coming from the west side for the game? The Phoenix to Tempe shuttle route page covers Phoenix-to-Tempe rides that pair with ASU game days.

What time should I be picked up?

2 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 Tempe to Phoenix takes about 10 minutes, then 2 hours before your flight takes off is normally good.

Tempe AZ is home to Arizona State University (ASU), and this corridor runs 24/7. Students heading home for break, parents visiting campus, and Sun Devil game-day crowds all book the same way: door-to-door pickup at any address in Phoenix or Tempe - a dorm, an apartment, a hotel, or Sky Harbor - then a private ride straight to the destination (most trips are non-stop). ASU to Phoenix Airport is the same short hop in reverse, with flat rates from $40.00 per vehicle each way - no surge pricing, no waiting on shared shuttle stops.

Other shuttle companies that do shared rides in Tempe and Phoenix 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.

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

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.

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 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.

What type of vehicle will pick me up?

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 Tempe 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".
