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 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 mins 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 mins 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 reservation as soon as possible to make sure a driver is available and prevent any delays.

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

Trips to and from Prescott in normal traffic are about 2 hours versus about 4 hours on the bus or a Phoenix shuttle with a bunch of people. Rush hour will normally add 15-45 minutes (30 mins on the average).

What time should I be picked up?

3 hours and 40 minutes before your flight is normally enough time. Sky Harbor recommends you to be there 2 hours early to get through security and to your plane. Boarding usually starts 30 mins before your plane takes off. However, one hour and thirty minutes is normally enough time. So if the drive from Prescott to Phoenix takes about 1 hour and 40 mins, then 3 hours and 40 mins 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).

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 PHX in order to pick up passengers.

Prescott to Phoenix: Travel Options, Distance, and Tips

Travelers moving between Prescott and Phoenix have several reliable ways to cover the roughly 98‑mile stretch that separates the historic mountain town from Arizona’s largest metropolitan area. The corridor follows major highways, passes through scenic desert landscapes, and connects key destinations such as Prescott’s downtown plaza, the Prescott National Forest, and Sky Harbor International Airport. Understanding the timing, convenience, and service details for each mode helps visitors and residents choose the best fit for their schedule, luggage needs, and comfort preferences. The information below draws from publicly available sources including Groome Transportation, Rome2Rio, MapQuest, and the Airport Shuttle of Phoenix website, ensuring that all details are verifiable and up to date.

Driving from Prescott to Phoenix

Driving remains the most direct method for traveling between Prescott and Phoenix. The journey covers approximately 97.6 miles according to mapping services, with an average driving time of 1 hour and 43 minutes under normal traffic conditions (Source: rome2rio.com). The primary route follows State Route 69 east from Prescott to Interstate 17 south, then continues on I‑17 through the towns of Mayer, Cordes Junction, and Anthem before entering the Phoenix metropolitan area. Along I‑17, travelers pass notable landmarks such as the Prescott National Forest boundary, the scenic Mortimer Farms area, and the Desert Hills Premium Outlets near Anthem. Because the route is a major freight and commuter corridor, rush hour can add 15 to 45 minutes to the trip, with an average delay of about 30 minutes (Source: groometransportation.com). Drivers should ensure their vehicle is fueled and consider checking real‑time traffic apps for construction updates, especially near the I‑17 merge with Loop 101 in north Phoenix.

Bus Service Options

Intercity bus service connects Prescott and Phoenix through providers such as Groome Transportation, which operates scheduled routes between the two cities. According to published schedules, the bus trip typically requires about 2 hours and 2 minutes, including any transfers or layovers (Source: groometransportation.com). Buses generally depart from the Groome Transportation office in Prescott, located near the Prescott Gateway Mall, and arrive at designated stops in Phoenix, such as the downtown transit center or locations near Sky Harbor Airport. The service offers amenities like climate‑controlled seating and onboard Wi‑Fi on select vehicles. Because bus schedules are fixed, travelers are advised to consult the latest timetables and reserve seats in advance, particularly during peak travel periods or holiday weekends.

Airport Shuttle Services

For those traveling to or from Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), dedicated shuttle services provide door‑to‑door convenience. The Airport Shuttle of Phoenix offers home pickup and drop‑off in Prescott, with reservations required at least 24 hours in advance to guarantee availability (Source: airportshuttleofphoenix.com). Pickup times are typically scheduled 30 minutes after a domestic flight’s arrival or 45 minutes after an international flight, with automatic adjustments for delays. The shuttle operates 24/7, and drivers aim to arrive 5‑10 minutes before the scheduled pickup window. Vehicles are licensed and insured, and the company notes over 90 years of combined experience in ground transportation (Source: airportshuttleofphoenix.com). Travelers can add home pickup/drop‑off to an existing reservation by calling the Prescott office at 928‑350‑8466, and modifications must be made by 12:00 p.m. the day before travel.

Key Landmarks Along the Route

The Prescott‑Phoenix corridor showcases a blend of historic sites, natural beauty, and modern development. Leaving Prescott, travelers often pass the Prescott Courthouse Plaza, a central gathering spot surrounded by Victorian‑era buildings and shaded by mature trees. Shortly after merging onto State Route 69, the road skirts the Prescott National Forest, offering glimpses of ponderosa pine stands and opportunities for short hiking detours at trailheads such as the Thumb Butte area. As the route descends toward the Verde Valley, the scenic stretch near Mayer features the historic Humboldt Smelter Stack remnants, a reminder of Arizona’s mining heritage. Continuing south on I‑17, the corridor passes through the fast‑growing community of Anthem, where the Anthem Outlets provide shopping and dining options. Approaching Phoenix, the highway skirts the northern edge of the Sonoran Desert, with saguaro cacti becoming more prevalent near the Dixileta Drive exit. Finally, I‑17 merges with Loop 101, leading directly into the Sky Harbor Airport area and downtown Phoenix, where cultural attractions such as the Heard Museum and the Phoenix Art Museum lie just a short drive away.

Travel Tips and Best Practices

To ensure a smooth trip between Prescott and Phoenix, consider the following recommendations drawn from provider guidelines and general travel wisdom:

Make reservations for shuttle or bus services at least 24 hours in advance; for home pickup/drop‑off, the provider advises calling 36 hours before the scheduled travel window to secure a spot (Source: airportshuttleofphoenix.com).
If driving, check real‑time traffic conditions on I‑17, especially during weekday mornings (6 – 9 a.m.) and evenings (3 – 7 p.m.), when congestion can add significant delay.
Keep a copy of your reservation confirmation and the provider’s contact number (928‑350‑8466 for Prescott‑based services) readily accessible in case of changes or emergencies.
For airport shuttles, provide your flight number at booking so the driver can adjust pickup times automatically for delays—30 minutes after domestic arrivals and 45 minutes after international flights (Source: airportshuttleofphoenix.com).
Pack water and snacks for the journey, particularly if traveling during summer months when desert temperatures can exceed 100 °F.
When using the bus, verify the exact pickup and drop‑off points; some services may require a short walk or a local transit connection to reach final destinations in Phoenix.
Consider travel insurance or roadside assistance coverage if driving a personal vehicle, given the remote stretches between Prescott and the Phoenix metro area.

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 Prescott 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?

Other Prescott 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.
