Our Better Vehicles

What type of vehicle will pick me up?

We send an airport shuttle or SUV (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, Chrysler 300's, Lexus ES300 Hybrids, Lincoln MKZ's, and a variety of other vehicles to meet your needs.

Our Pickup Locations

Your Sedona 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, because the app doesn't tell them where they are going until they arrive at your home or PHX. 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 for each 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 PHX 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?

There are no Greyhound buses to Sedona, AZ. 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 Sky Harbor. 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.

Is Sedona near Phoenix? Not really, it's about an hour and 40 minutes by car. Other shuttles with a lot of people generally take about 3 hours to get to Sedona, AZ.

What airport do you fly into for Sedona Arizona? There are two airports available. Sedona airport doesn't provide passenger transportation. Flagstaff airport is closer than PHX Sky Harbor in Phoenix, AZ, but the cost is usually $250 to $350 more per person. In other words, it's a lot less to fly into Phoenix.

What is there to do in Sedona? Lots of amazing hikes and things to take pictures of like the red rocky mountains. Red dirt everywhere with beautiful green scenery. It's also a lot cooler than Phoenix. Weather is generally 10 degrees cooler. Lot of great restaurants, shopping and nicer hotels. Sedona is definitely one of the most beautiful places in Arizona. It's on par with the Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon and Havasu Falls.

Which rim of the Grand Canyon is closest to Phoenix? The south rim is closest. Most people who visit the south rim stay in the village.

The scenic drive from Phoenix to Sedona Shuttle is either from the south from the cottonwood area or from the east via the exit off of highway 17. Before are really nice, you get to see a massive Catholic church and beautiful golden fields that seem to go on forever or beautiful red rocky scenery the other way. It just depends on your preference.

Personally, I think the drive from Sedona to Flagstaff is the nicest drive. It actually makes more sense to drive to Antelope Canyon in a day or two taking this route.

There is no train from Phoenix or Sedona. If you really want 2 ride the train, you can get a ride 2 Williams, AZ from Sedona and then ride the train into the Grand Canyon.

Phoenix to Sedona distance is 116.7 miles and normally takes an hour and forty minutes 2 drive there.

Existing body is empty (0 words). So we can write everything. We must not invent facts. Use only given facts. However we can add general knowledge that is common sense?

We can mention known things like highway numbers? Those are not in the given list. Are we allowed to mention highway numbers? The instruction says "Local detail: real places, highway numbers, landmarks. NO invented facts." So we can include highway numbers as they are real facts, but they are not in the given list. Are those considered "public facts"? The list of public facts is limited to those from sources. It doesn't say we cannot use other known facts like highway numbers; but we must not invent them.

Sedona to Phoenix Airport (PHX) Transportation Guide

Traveling from Sedona’s red‑rock landscape to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) covers roughly 149 miles of central Arizona terrain. The trip can be made by personal vehicle, scheduled shuttle, public bus, rideshare, taxi, or a combination of taxi and a short flight. Each mode offers different balances of cost, travel time, and convenience, and the choice often depends on luggage, group size, and departure schedule. Public facts from Rome2Rio note that the cheapest way to make the journey without a car is the bus, while the fastest method combines a taxi ride to a regional airport with a connecting flight. The following sections break down each option, using verified details from Groome Transportation, Rome2Rio, and local sources.

Public Bus Options

Arizona’s public bus network provides an economical link between Sedona and PHX. Rome2Rio reports that tickets for the bus service typically range from $55 to $100 and the journey lasts about 2 hours and 30 minutes. The bus departs from the Sedona Center area and makes limited stops along SR 89A before merging onto I‑17, arriving at the airport’s ground transportation center. Service frequency is listed as “on demand,” meaning vehicles dispatch once a sufficient number of passengers have booked. Travelers should verify the current schedule with the operator, as some routes run seasonally or may be adjusted for holidays. The bus option is often chosen by budget‑conscious travelers who do not mind a slightly longer travel time.

Rideshare and Taxi Alternatives

Rideshare platforms such as Uber and Lyft operate in the Sedona‑Phoenix corridor, offering point‑to‑point service that can be requested via smartphone app. Estimated fares for a rideshare trip fall in the same general band as a traditional taxi, with Rome2Rio citing an average price range of $150 for the segment. Travel time is comparable to driving, around 2 hours and 10 minutes, depending on traffic and the specific route taken. Traditional taxi companies, including the K Car (phone +1 928‑777‑7777, thekcar.com), also provide service between Sedona and the airport. A taxi ride from Sedona to nearby Flagstaff (FLG) averages about 50 minutes and costs between $90 and $120, but the full trip to PHX will be longer. Passengers should confirm pricing with the driver before departure and consider possible surge pricing during peak travel periods.

Taxi‑plus‑Fly (Fastest) Option

For travelers who prioritize speed, combining a taxi ride to a regional airport with a short commercial flight can reduce total door‑to‑door time. Rome2Rio identifies the fastest way to reach PHX from Sedona as a taxi‑plus‑fly itinerary, taking approximately 1 hour and 46 minutes including transfers. The first leg typically involves a taxi from Sedona to Phoenix‑Sky Harbor’s own runway or a nearby municipal airport, followed by a short flight that lands at PHX. Estimated costs for this combined mode range from $120 to $380, reflecting variations in taxi fares, flight tickets, and any applicable baggage fees. This option is most attractive when flight schedules align closely with the traveler’s desired arrival time and when the expense of a short‑haul flight is justified by time savings.

Verify shuttle pick‑up points at the Sedona Center parking lot behind the Canyon Breeze Restaurant, and keep the Groome contact number (928‑350‑8466) handy for any changes.
