Driving Route: Key Highways and Landmarks

Main Highways

Most drivers follow a well‑marked corridor that uses a mix of state and interstate roads:

• U.S. Route 90 (US‑90) – Departs Sierra Vista heading north through Huachuca City and into Tucson.
• Interstate 10 (I‑10) – Connects Tucson to Phoenix, the backbone of the journey.
• U.S. Route 60 (US‑60) – Splits from I‑10 just west of downtown Phoenix and heads northeast toward Scottsdale.
• Interstate 17 (I‑17) – An optional north‑south alternate that joins I‑10 near the Phoenix‑Scottsdale border for those wishing to avoid downtown traffic.

Scenic Stops and Landmarks

While the route is primarily freeway, several notable landmarks provide opportunities for a quick break:

• San Pedro River Crossing – Just north of Sierra Vista, the river valley offers a tranquil view and a chance to spot local wildlife.
• Tucson’s Historic Presidio District – A short detour onto Congress Street reveals Spanish‑colonial architecture, perfect for a 20‑minute walk.
• Desert Botanical Garden (Phoenix) – Located near the I‑10/US‑60 interchange, it showcases Arizona’s unique flora.
• Taliesin West (Scottsdale) – Frank Lloyd Wright’s winter studio, situated just off the US‑60, is a must‑see for architecture enthusiasts.

Fuel Cost and Environmental Impact

Using the U.S. average regular‑gas price of $4.35 per gallon (source: U.S. Energy Information Administration), the estimated fuel cost for a solo driver is ≈ $33.12.

Our Better Vehicles

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".
