What are the benefits of using our service?

Door to door service is included on all our trips. Usually trips are non-stop in a nicer vehicle. We pick you up at your home anytime 24/7.

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

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 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.

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".

Driving Distance and Time: Salome AZ to Phoenix AZ

The straight‑line distance between Salome, AZ and Phoenix, AZ is 58.53 miles (≈ 94 km). When you drive non‑stop on the most direct route, the trip takes roughly 2 hours 7 minutes under normal traffic conditions. Most travelers follow U.S. Route 60 (US‑60) west from Phoenix, then continue through the desert communities of Tonopah and Aguila before arriving in Salome. The average travel speed on this stretch is about 45‑50 mph, accounting for the mix of open highway and occasional stops in small towns. Traffic in the Phoenix metro area can add 10–20 minutes during rush‑hour periods, especially when merging onto I‑10 from US‑60.

Estimated Fuel Costs and Carbon Footprint

Using the current U.S. average price of regular gasoline (≈ $4.35 per gallon), the estimated fuel cost for a solo driver or a typical passenger vehicle is $20.45. This figure assumes a fuel efficiency of roughly 25 mpg, which is close to the national average for sedans and small SUVs. The journey also produces a carbon footprint of about 92.10 pounds of CO₂, or roughly 0.79 pounds of CO₂ per mile. For those car‑pooling or driving a more fuel‑efficient hybrid, the cost and emissions can be proportionally lower.

Route Overview: Highways and Key Landmarks

U.S. Route 60 – The Main Corridor

U.S. Route 60, also known as the Grand Canyon Highway, is the primary arterial linking Phoenix with the western desert. Starting at the I‑10/US‑60 interchange near downtown Phoenix, the road heads west through the suburbs of Glendale and Peoria, then opens into the high‑desert landscape. Along the way you’ll pass the Palm Canyon shopping area, the Desert Mirage golf course, and the historic Wickenburg town center. The highway is two lanes in each direction for most of the Salome stretch, with wide shoulders that accommodate occasional wildlife.

Arizona State Route 71 – The Northern Connector

State Route 71 (SR‑71) provides a shortcut for those heading north toward the Prescott area, intersecting US‑60 just south of Salome. If you’re planning a side trip to the Lake Pleasant Regional Park or the Hassayampa River Preserve, you can pick up SR‑71 at the Salome junction and travel north to rejoin I‑40 near Ash Fork. The route is well‑maintained and offers sweeping views of the Mojave‑Sonoran desert transition.

Towns and Services Along the Way

• Tonopah, AZ – Population ≈ 500. Provides a fuel station, a small grocery store, and the popular Tonopah Bar & Grill.
• Aguila, AZ – Home to the historic Aguila Schoolhouse and a convenience store for quick snacks.
• Wickenburg, AZ – Known for its Gold Rush Heritage, historic downtown, and several antique shops. Good for a lunch stop.
• Phoenix Metro Area – The endpoint, offering full urban amenities, major airports, and cultural attractions.

The Halfway Point: Tonopah, AZ

If you break the trip in the middle, Tonopah is the closest town to the true halfway point. Tonopah sits 52 miles from Phoenix and 54 miles from Salome, making it roughly a 49‑minute drive from Phoenix and a 1 hour 6‑minute drive from Salome under normal conditions. The town’s central location makes it an ideal rest stop for refueling, grabbing a bite, or simply stretching your legs before continuing the final leg of the journey.

Scenic Stops and Things to Do en Route

Lake Pleasant Regional Park

Located just north of the US‑60/SR‑71 interchange, Lake Pleasant Regional Park offers a tranquil desert oasis. The reservoir is popular for boating, fishing (largemouth bass, catfish), and picnicking. A short drive up the hill provides panoramic views of the Sonoran Desert and, on clear days, a glimpse of the Bradshaw Mountains.

Wickenburg Historic District

The Wickenburg Historic District is a designated National Register of Historic Places area. Stroll down North Tegner Street to see restored 19th‑century buildings, including the Jolly John’s Mine museum and the Delicious Café, which serves classic southwestern cuisine. The Riverfront Park along the Hassayampa River is a pleasant spot for a short walk.

Hassayampa River Preserve

Just east of Wickenburg, the Hassayampa River Preserve protects one of the few perennial streams in the region. Visitors can explore easy hiking trails that wind through riparian habitats, spotting native birds, desert wildflowers, and occasional wildlife. The preserve is open daily from sunrise to sunset; a small entrance fee applies.

Phoenix’s Papago Park (End of Route)

Once you reach Phoenix, consider a quick detour to Papago Park. This urban park is famous for the distinctive Hole in the Rock formation and offers easy trails like the Holbert Trail that reward you with sweeping city views. The park also houses the Desert Botanical Garden and the Phoenix Zoo, making it a fitting end‑point for a desert road‑trip.

Travel Tips for the Salome–Phoenix Drive

• Start Early: Departing before 7 a.m. helps you avoid Phoenix’s morning rush hour and gives you a cooler drive through the desert.
• Fuel Up Before Leaving: While there are gas stations in Tonopah and Aguila, options are limited farther out. Fill the tank in Phoenix or Wickenburg to ensure you don’t run low.
• Check Road Conditions: Arizona’s monsoon season (July‑September) can bring sudden flash floods; monitor the ADOT (Arizona Department of Transportation) website for real‑time closures.
• Stay Hydrated: Carry at least one liter of water per person; desert temperatures can exceed 100 °F (38 °C) in summer.
• Wildlife Awareness: Early morning and dusk are high‑activity periods for desert wildlife. Use caution on roads and watch for signage indicating animal crossings.
• Vehicle Preparation: Ensure tire pressure is within spec and that your spare is inflated; the remote stretches have limited service facilities.
