Our Pickup Locations
Your Casa Grande 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".
Our Better Vehicles
What type of vehicle will pick me up?
We send a airport shuttle (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. Most vehicles are luxury and full size. We have Mercedes Sprinters, Lincoln Navigators, Chrysler 300's, Lexus ES300 Hybrids, Lincoln MKZ's, and a variety of other vehicles to meet your needs.
Red Roof Inn Phoenix – Midtown to Phoenix Sky Harbor Shuttle: What to Expect
The trip from the Red Roof Inn Phoenix – Midtown to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) covers approximately 8 miles of road distance, with a typical drive time of 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic. This makes it one of the more efficient hotel-to-airport routes in the Valley — short enough to plan around comfortably, but long enough that you'll want a reliable ride rather than a stressful scramble. Airport Shuttle of Phoenix provides private, door-to-door service along this exact route, with pickups scheduled to arrive within 10-15 minutes of booking confirmation so you're never left waiting in the lobby.
Route Overview: How You Get from Midtown to PHX
The journey begins in Midtown Phoenix, a vibrant corridor known for its mix of restaurants, nightlife, and mid-century architecture along Central Avenue. From the Red Roof Inn, your driver heads north towards North Central Phoenix before merging onto I-10 East, the primary freeway artery feeding directly into Sky Harbor. From there, it's a short and direct drive to the airport, where we typically drop passengers at Terminal 4 — the busiest terminal at PHX and home to most major carriers — which is centrally located and easily accessible from all other terminals via the free Sky Harbor Monorail (PHX Sky Train).
Because the route runs almost entirely on I-10, drive times are predictable outside of rush hour. Early morning departures before 6 a.m. and midday runs are usually on the faster end of the 20-30 minute range, while weekday afternoon traffic between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. can push the drive toward the longer end. If you're traveling during peak commute windows, we recommend building in an extra buffer of 15-20 minutes.

Note: Costs for this route vary by vehicle type, party size, and time of day. Use our online quote tool for a real-time estimate — pricing on this page is intentionally not listed because exact fares are mileage-based and confirmed at booking.
How to Get an Accurate Quote
One of the most common questions we hear is how to get an accurate price before booking. The process is simple and transparent:
- Enter your full address. Typing in just the city will get you a general rate, but we recommend entering the full address — in this case, the Red Roof Inn Phoenix – Midtown's street address — to get an accurate quote. We have special rates for certain zip codes, and most of our pricing is mileage-based, so the full address matters.
- Compare your options. Once you enter your address, our system displays pricing for Taxi, Airport Shuttle, and Black Car Service side by side, so you can compare costs and choose the option that fits your travel style and budget.
- Save your quote. When a price comes up and you're happy with it, click "Reserve Now." Enter your name, cell phone, and email to save your quote and automatically receive a copy sent to your email for your records.
- Finalize your booking. Click "Continue." Keep in mind the website won't actually book anything until you enter a credit or debit card on the final booking screen — so if you step away mid-booking, your reservation isn't locked in until that last step is complete.
Which Vehicle Will Pick You Up?
We match the vehicle to your party size, not the other way around. For solo travelers, couples, or groups of 1-3 passengers, we typically send a nice car. For groups of 4 or more, we dispatch an airport shuttle. Our fleet includes Mercedes Sprinters, Lincoln Navigators, Chrysler 300s, Lexus ES300 Hybrids, Lincoln MKZs, and a variety of other vehicles to meet your needs.
Two things set this service apart from shared-ride alternatives. First, we don't pack you in with 8-15 strangers and stop everywhere along the way — your ride is private and direct. Second, we serve any address in Arizona, not just PHX. If your itinerary includes a later leg to Tucson, Flagstaff, or anywhere else in the state, we can take you there from the same booking system.
Terminal Pickup and Drop-Off Details at PHX
Navigating curbside logistics at Sky Harbor can be confusing for first-time visitors, so here's exactly how it works:
- Terminal 4 Prearranged pickup: Across the crosswalk from Door 3, on the north side of the building, first floor. This is where your driver will meet you for arrivals at Terminal 4.
- Terminal 3 Prearranged pickup: Across the crosswalk from Door 6, and to the right, on the south side of the building.
- Communication is essential: PHX won't allow drivers to walk more than 15 feet away from their vehicle or wait at the curb, so staying in touch by phone when you land ensures a smooth, quick pickup. When you have your luggage and are ready, a quick call gets your driver to the designated spot within moments.
If you're departing from Terminal 2 or Terminal 3, don't worry — the PHX Sky Train connects all terminals, and our team will confirm the correct pickup location for your specific airline before you arrive.

Frequently Asked Questions
What time will my shuttle arrive?
Your shuttle is scheduled to arrive within 10-15 minutes of booking confirmation. When you reserve in advance, you'll receive a confirmed pickup window, and your driver will arrive at the Red Roof Inn Phoenix – Midtown's front entrance within that window. If you have a tight departure time, mention it when booking so we can prioritize an early arrival.
How many bags can I bring?
Standard luggage allowances accommodate the checked bags and carry-ons typical for each passenger in your party. If you're traveling with oversized items — ski equipment, golf clubs, mobility devices, or extra bags from an extended stay — let us know when you book so we can dispatch a vehicle with adequate cargo space, such as a Mercedes Sprinter or Lincoln Navigator. Mentioning your luggage count at booking ensures the right vehicle arrives.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Flight delays happen, and they're easy to handle. Simply contact us at (480) 710-3441, and we'll coordinate your new pickup or drop-off time. This works in both directions — whether your inbound flight to PHX lands late and you need a later pickup from the airport, or your plans shift and you need to adjust your departure from the hotel. Calling as soon as you know about the delay gives us the most flexibility to reassign a vehicle.
How do I get an accurate quote for my trip?
Enter the full street address — not just the city — into our online quote tool. Because most pricing is mileage-based and we offer special rates for certain zip codes, the full address produces the most accurate figure. The tool also shows Taxi, Airport Shuttle, and Black Car Service pricing together, so you can compare before committing. Save the quote with your name, cell phone, and email to receive a copy by email.
How early should I leave the Red Roof Inn for my flight?
Given the 20-30 minute drive time, most travelers book a pickup that gets them to the airport about two hours before a domestic departure. That covers the ride, curbside drop-off, check-in, and security. For international flights, add another hour. If you're traveling during Phoenix weekday rush hour, we suggest booking your pickup 15-20 minutes earlier than usual.
Is this a shared shuttle or a private ride?
This is private, door-to-door service. We don't combine your trip with 8-15 people you don't know, and we don't make multiple stops along the way. You ride directly from the Red Roof Inn Phoenix – Midtown to your terminal at PHX — or anywhere else in Arizona you need to go.
Can I save money on my booking?
Yes. For one-way trips, use promo code ONLINE to save 10%. For round trips, you automatically save 10% each way — and if you're booking a round trip, use discount code NONSTOP instead to receive a free upgrade to non-stop service. Round-trip bookings deliver savings both ways, which adds up quickly for frequent travelers.
