Leaving the red‑rock vistas of Sedona, our private shuttle follows the I‑17 corridor southward until it meets SR‑179, the scenic highway that threads through Oak Creek Canyon and the Verde Valley. From there the route continues east across the high desert, passing the historic mining town of Globe nestled at the foot of the Pinal Mountains. The door‑to‑door journey typically spans 158 to 217 minutes, giving you ample time to relax while the landscape shifts from sandstone cliffs to rolling chaparral.

Pickup can be arranged at any Sedona address — whether you’re staying in Uptown near the art galleries, in West Sedona close to the airport, or at a vacation rental along the creek. In Globe we serve the downtown historic district, the Globe‑Miami area, and the nearby residential neighborhoods, delivering you directly to your hotel, business meeting, or private residence without extra transfers.

Our drivers monitor incoming flights at Phoenix Sky Harbor and the regional Sedona airport, adjusting the departure time automatically when delays occur. There is no fixed free‑wait window; the pickup is simply rescheduled to match the updated arrival, ensuring a smooth hand‑off from terminal to vehicle.

How long does the trip usually take?

Expect a drive of roughly two hours forty minutes to three hours forty minutes, depending on traffic through the I‑17/SR‑179 interchange and seasonal weather in the mountains.

What if my flight is delayed?

We track your flight in real time and move the pickup accordingly; you’ll receive a notification with the revised time so there’s no need to call us.

Can I bring oversized luggage or sports equipment?

Standard luggage fits comfortably in the shuttle’s cargo area; for oversized items such as bikes or ski boxes, let us know when you book so we can allocate the appropriate vehicle.

How Far Is Sedona to Globe, Arizona?

The distance from Sedona to Globe depends on the route you choose, but the most common driving route covers roughly 166 miles (about 268 kilometers) one way. Distance measurement site distance-cities.com puts the Globe-to-Sedona drive at 116.20 miles in a straight line, which grows to 166 miles by car when you follow the AZ 188 corridor through the mountains and lake country between the two towns. Expect the trip to take approximately 3 hours and 18 minutes of non-stop driving under normal conditions.

Planning tools like fromto.travel list the routing distance at up to 341 kilometers depending on the intermediate stops and transfer points selected, while the direct driving distance comes in closer to 271 kilometers. The variation comes down to one key fact: there is no single direct highway connecting Sedona and Globe. You will travel through the Verde Valley, descend toward the Phoenix metro area or cut across the Tonto National Forest, and then climb into the Pinal Mountains before reaching Globe. Each combination of highways produces a slightly different total.

Best Routes from Sedona to Globe: Which Way Should You Go?

Because the two towns sit diagonally across central Arizona from each other, drivers typically choose between two main corridors. Both are beautiful. Both demand attention. Here is how they compare.

The AZ 188 Scenic Route via Roosevelt Lake

The route distance calculators flag as standard follows AZ 188, and for good reason. From Sedona, you descend through Oak Creek Canyon or take SR 179 toward the Village of Oak Creek, join I-17 south, and then exit onto SR 87 toward Strawberry and Pine. From there, the highway rolls through the Mogollon Rim country before meeting AZ 188 near Theodore Roosevelt Dam. This stretch along Roosevelt Lake is one of the most underrated drives in Arizona — saguaro-studded hillsides on one side, blue water on the other, all inside the Tonto National Forest.

Follow AZ 188 southeast as it traces the Salt River watershed, passing through Tonto Basin and Miami before the final approach into Globe. The road is well-maintained but winding, so build in extra time if you are towing or traveling after dark.

The I-17 and US 60 Route Through Phoenix

If you prefer services, cell coverage, and predictable driving, take I-17 all the way to the Phoenix area and connect to US 60 east. This routing passes through or near Tempe and the East Valley before climbing through Superior and the historic mining district toward Miami and Globe. It adds miles over the AZ 188 option but keeps you near fuel, food, and mechanical help for nearly the entire trip.

How Long Does It Take to Get from Sedona to Globe?

Driving non-stop, the trip takes approximately 3 hours and 18 minutes via the AZ 188 corridor, according to distance-cities.com. Fromto.travel estimates a similar 3 hours 36 minutes for the drive. Real-world timing varies based on a few predictable factors:

• Traffic on I-17 and the SR 179 interchange. Weekend tourist traffic leaving Sedona can add 30 minutes or more, especially Friday afternoons and Sunday evenings.
• Seasonal weather. Winter snow can close sections of SR 87 and the higher elevations near the Rim, while summer monsoon storms bring flash flooding to low crossings along AZ 188.
• Road work. Check the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) website or dial 511 before departure for current restrictions.

If you use a door-to-door shuttle or car service instead of driving yourself, plan for a total journey of roughly 158 to 217 minutes depending on pickup logistics, traffic conditions, and any intermediate stops along the way.

Gas Cost and Fuel Estimates for the Sedona–Globe Drive

Fuel is the biggest variable cost of the trip. Using an average Arizona gas price of $4.66 per gallon of regular — the figure distance-cities.com used for its most recent calculation — the estimated cost of gas for the one-way drive between Globe and Sedona comes to roughly $31.15. Treat that as an estimate only: your actual cost depends on current pump prices, your vehicle's fuel economy, and how aggressively you push the grades and curves of AZ 188.

A few fuel-planning tips specific to this route:

• Fill up before leaving Sedona or at Camp Verde. Gas stations become sparse once you turn off I-17 onto SR 87 and AZ 188.
• Roosevelt and Tonto Basin have limited services. Do not count on finding open stations late at night along the lake stretch.
• Miami and Globe have full services. Both historic mining towns have fuel, food, and lodging options at the end of your drive.

Gas Consumption and Emissions

Curious about the environmental footprint of the trip? An average car driving this route releases approximately 130.93 pounds of CO2 into the atmosphere — about 0.79 pounds of CO2 per mile, per distance-cities.com. Carpooling or consolidating trips is the simplest way to cut that per-person footprint if you make this journey regularly.

Halfway Point Between Sedona and Globe

The midpoint of the journey is a useful anchor for planning a meeting spot, a rest stop, or a ride-share pickup. According to distance-cities.com, the halfway point sits 83.20 miles from Globe and roughly the same distance from Sedona, requiring about 1 hour 39 minutes of driving from either end.

Closest Town to the Halfway Point

The closest town to the halfway point is Desert Hills, AZ, located about 89 miles from Globe and 116 miles from Sedona. It takes approximately 1 hour 40 minutes to reach Desert Hills from Globe and about 1 hour 52 minutes from Sedona. Desert Hills sits along I-17 north of Phoenix near the New River area, making it a practical rendezvous point with easy freeway access.

Major City Closest to the Halfway Point

If you would rather meet in a major city, Phoenix is your answer. Phoenix sits about 87 miles from Globe and 115 miles from Sedona — roughly 1 hour 38 minutes from Globe and 1 hour 53 minutes from Sedona. Sky Harbor International Airport, downtown meeting spots, and the full range of Valley amenities are all within reach, which is one reason many travelers between the two towns route through the metro area.

Getting from Sedona to Globe Without a Car

Neither town is a major transit hub, so the car-free options require patience and at least one transfer. Route aggregator fromto.travel reports that the best way to make the trip without a car is by bus, with a total journey time of approximately 5 hours 27 minutes including transfers — significantly longer than the drive itself. A private shuttle or black car service is the fastest car-free alternative, offering door-to-door service in the 2.5 to 3.5 hour range.

Transportation Options: Sedona to Globe

Option

Approx. Splitting a rental car or rideshare among several travelers can bring per-person costs down further. Buses with transfers are generally more expensive than driving once you factor in fares across multiple segments. What Is the Fastest Way to Get from Sedona to Globe? The fastest option is a direct drive or a private door-to-door shuttle. A personal car covers the route in roughly 3 hours 18 minutes to 3 hours 36 minutes, while a dedicated shuttle typically completes the door-to-door journey in the same window — and eliminates the time you would otherwise spend parking, renting, or waiting for transfers. Things to See Along the Way and in Globe This route doubles as one of central Arizona's best sightseeing drives. Consider building in time for: Theodore Roosevelt Dam and Roosevelt Lake. The historic dam anchors the AZ 188 corridor, and the lake offers picnic spots and overlooks. Tonto National Monument. Near the AZ 188 corridor, these well-preserved cliff dwellings showcase the Salado culture. Miami, AZ. A neighboring copper-mining town with vintage architecture along US 60 / AZ 188 approaches to Globe. The Pinal Mountains. Rising directly south of Globe, this range covers approximately 45,760 acres and reaches a maximum elevation of 7,848 feet at Pinal Peak, with a prominence of over 4,000 feet — a striking backdrop for the entire town. Once you arrive in Globe, history is the main attraction: Holy Angels Church. Located at 231 S. Broad Street, this Catholic church was built in 1916 and is notable for its architecture and stained glass. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Besh-Ba-Gowah Archaeological Park. A major Salado pueblo ruin within city limits, one of the Southwest's most accessible archaeological sites. Historic Broad Street. Globe's downtown core retains early-1900s commercial buildings from the copper boom era. Where Can I Stay Near Globe? Globe offers a modest but genuine selection of lodging — historic motor lodges, independent inns, and chain motels clustered along the Broad Street and US 60 corridors. Because inventory is limited compared to Sedona, book ahead during peak seasons, particularly fall and spring when the Pinal Mountains and nearby lakes draw the most visitors. If you want resort-level amenities, Sedona is your base; if you want historic character and proximity to the ruins and mines, overnight in Globe itself. Travelers continuing on to Sedona can choose from hundreds of hotels, resorts, and vacation rentals there — from creekside lodges along Oak Creek to red-rock-view resorts near the SR 179 corridor. When comparing stays, prioritize properties near the I-17 / SR 179 interchange if you plan day trips in either direction, since that junction is the gateway for most regional driving. Weather in Globe and Sedona: When to Make the Drive Weather is the single biggest trip-planning variable on this route because you cross several elevation zones: Sedona sits at roughly 4,350 feet in red rock country, with hot summers, mild winters, and occasional snow in winter months. The AZ 188 / Roosevelt Lake corridor drops into lower Sonoran desert terrain, typically running warmer than either endpoint in summer — carry extra water. Globe rests at about 3,500 feet at the foot of the Pinal Mountains, with hot summers and cool winter nights. Snow occasionally dusts the town and is common on the higher peaks above it. Summer monsoon season (roughly June through September) can bring sudden heavy rain, lightning, and flash flooding to washes along AZ 188 and US 60. Winter storms can produce ice at the higher elevations near the Mogollon Rim on the SR 87 approach. Check the National Weather Service forecast for both Globe and Sedona before a winter or monsoon-season drive, and consult ADOT for road conditions. Estimated Costs for Renting a Car in Globe, AZ If you plan to make the return leg by car, several rental options operate in and around Globe and the broader Copper Corridor area, with additional inventory available in the Phoenix metro roughly 87 miles away. Rental pricing in the region varies widely by vehicle class, season, and pickup location, so compare rates across providers before booking — and confirm whether one-way drop-offs between Globe and Sedona are permitted, since not all small-town branches allow them. For the lowest total cost, renting in Phoenix and driving the loop is often the most economical structure for a Sedona–Globe itinerary.
