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 in Show Low, 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 a Show Low or Phoenix Shuttle 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 Phoenix to Show Low?
Trips to and from Show Low in normal traffic are about 3 hours and 40 minutes versus about 7 hours and 20 minutes on the bus or a shuttle with a bunch of people. Rush hour will normally add 15-45 mins (30 mins on the average).
What time should I be picked up?
5 hours and 40 minutes before your flight is normally enough time. PHX recommends you to be there 2 hours early to get through security and to your plane. Boarding usually starts 30 minutes before your plane takes off. However, one hour and thirty mins is normally enough time. So if the drive from Show Low takes about 3 hours and 40 mins, then 5 hours and 40 mins before your flight takes off is normally good.
Private, non-stop and door to door, 24/7 — every driver passes a nationwide fingerprint background check, and date or time changes are always free if your flight moves. Questions? Call (480) 710-3441.

Why Choose an Airport Shuttle of Phoenix?
When you need reliable transportation to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), an airport shuttle of Phoenix delivers a combination of safety, comfort, and punctuality that other options often lack. Whether you’re traveling alone, with a partner, or in a group, the service is designed to meet the needs of both business travelers and vacationers.
One of the standout benefits is the 24/7 flexibility. No matter if your flight departs at sunrise or lands after midnight, the shuttle can be scheduled to match your exact timeline. Drivers typically arrive 5‑10 minutes early, giving you a stress‑free buffer for any last‑minute packing or check‑in tasks. In contrast, public buses run on fixed routes and can be delayed by traffic or weather, adding unpredictability to your travel plans.
The professional drivers have extensive experience transporting the public, which means they know the quickest routes around Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, and the surrounding Valley. They are familiar with the nuances of I‑10, I‑17, US‑60, AZ‑101, and AZ‑202, allowing them to navigate around incidents and keep your ride smooth.
Vehicle Variety for Every Group Size
The fleet includes Mercedes Sprinters for larger parties, Lexus ES300 Hybrids and Lincoln MKZs for a quiet, fuel‑efficient ride, as well as Lincoln Navigators and Tesla Model S/X for those seeking a premium experience. If you’re traveling with a small group, a Chrysler 300 offers a stylish sedan option. All vehicles are maintained to high standards, ensuring safety and comfort on every leg of the journey.
Transparent Pricing and Easy Booking
Unlike some services that quote a flat fee that can change at the last minute, the airport shuttle of Phoenix provides estimates based on mileage and zip‑code zones. The online booking tool lets you enter your exact address for a more accurate quote. You’ll see options for Taxi, Airport Shuttle, and Black Car Service side‑by‑side, making it simple to compare costs and features before committing.
How Our Phoenix Airport Shuttle Works
Step‑by‑Step Booking Process
Booking your ride is designed to be as straightforward as possible, even on a tight schedule. Follow these four simple steps:
- Enter Your Locations: Start by typing the city or, preferably, the full street address where you’ll be picked up. Using the complete address helps the system apply any special zip‑code rates and gives you a precise estimate.
- Compare Options: After you input the pickup and drop‑off points, the website displays pricing for Taxi, Airport Shuttle, and Black Car Service. This lets you weigh cost against comfort before making a decision.
- Save Your Quote: Once you see a price you like, click “Reserve Now.” You’ll be asked for your name, cell‑phone number, and email. Saving the quote sends a copy directly to your inbox for future reference.
- Complete Payment: The site will not charge your card until you reach the final booking screen. Enter your credit or debit card information to confirm the reservation. If you’re booking a round trip, you’ll automatically receive a 10% discount on each leg. For one‑way trips, use the promo code ONLINE to save 10%.
Pickup and Drop‑off at PHX
When you arrive at Phoenix Sky Harbor, the shuttle driver will meet you 30 minutes after your domestic flight lands or 45 minutes after an international arrival. If your flight is delayed, the pickup time adjusts automatically, so you don’t need to call or text to update the schedule. Drivers are instructed to stay within 15 feet of their vehicle due to airport security rules, which is why clear communication (cell‑phone or text) is essential.
At the terminals, the designated meeting spots are:
- Terminal 3: Across the crosswalk from Door 6, on the right, south side of the building.
- Terminal 4: Across the crosswalk from Door 3, to the left, north side, first floor.
If you’re traveling with a large group, the shuttle can dispatch a Mercedes Sprinter or an SUV that accommodates up to 4+ passengers. For solo travelers or couples, a luxury sedan such as a Tesla Model S or Lincoln MKZ provides a quiet, comfortable ride.
Travel Times and Traffic Considerations
Typical Drive Durations from Key Valley Locations
Understanding how long the journey takes helps you plan the timing of your pickup. Under normal traffic conditions, the drive from most points in the Phoenix metropolitan area to PHX is approximately 30 minutes. Below are average travel times from a few popular neighborhoods:
| Origin | Approximate Travel Time (Normal Traffic) | Major Highway(s) Used |
|---|---|---|
| Downtown Phoenix (Central Ave & Washington St) | ~20‑25 min | I‑10, US‑60 |
| Scottsdale (McDowell Rd & Scottsdale Rd) | ~30‑35 min | AZ‑101, I‑10 |
| Tempe (University Dr & Rural Rd) | ~15‑20 min | I‑10, US‑60 |
| Mesa (Main St & Center St) | ~25‑30 min | US‑60, I‑10 |
| Chandler (Arizona Ave & Chandler Blvd) | ~30‑35 min | AZ‑202, I‑10 |
| Glendale (Glendale Ave & 59th Ave) | ~30‑35 min | I‑10, I‑17 |
| Goodyear (McDowell Rd & Litchfield Rd) | ~35‑40 min | I‑10, AZ‑101 |
How Rush‑Hour Traffic Affects Your Trip
Phoenix’s peak traffic windows are typically 7‑9 am and 4‑7 pm on weekdays. During these periods, the extra volume can add anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes to the standard drive time, with an average increase of about 30 minutes. If you’re traveling during these windows, it’s wise to schedule your pickup at least 2‑2.5 hours before your flight’s departure. This buffer accounts for both the longer road time and the 2‑hour advance arrival recommendation set by the airport for security screening.
The airport advises passengers to be inside the terminal 2 hours prior to domestic flights and 3 hours prior to international flights. Boarding usually begins 30 minutes before departure. So, if your drive to PHX takes roughly 30 minutes, leaving 2 hours before your flight puts you comfortably ahead of the boarding call.
The Show Low to Phoenix Shuttle Route: Distance and Drive Time
The drive between Show Low and Phoenix Sky Harbor covers roughly 169 miles, almost all of it on US‑60 West — the Globe‑Show Low Highway — passing through Globe and Miami before joining the Superstition Freeway and the Loop 202/Loop 101 corridors for the final approach to the airport. Under normal traffic conditions the trip takes about 3.5 hours, so it pays to work backward from your flight time: travelers with morning departures often book a pre‑dawn pickup, and because the service runs 24/7 you choose the exact pickup time instead of working around a fixed bus schedule. If you are not sure when to leave, reserve an estimated time first and update your flight number and pickup later at no cost.
