Tempe to Cave Creek Shuttle

Traveling between the bustling campus of Arizona State University in Tempe and the desert‑rim community of Cave Creek? Airport Shuttle of Phoenix offers a private, door‑to‑door intercity shuttle that links these two distinct neighborhoods with a single, comfortable ride. The route follows the I‑10 corridor before looping onto the scenic Loop 202, covering roughly 28 straight‑line miles with a road distance just a few miles longer. Most trips fall within a 38‑ to 52‑minute window, depending on traffic flow through downtown Tempe, the interchange at the Tempe Town Lake, and the occasional afternoon rush on the Loop 202 eastbound.

Our drivers are familiar with the subtleties of the area: you’ll glide past the vibrant Mill Avenue district, cross the historic Salt River, then head north through the foothills of the McDowell Mountains. The shuttle makes a brief stop at Phoenix‑Sky Harbor Airport’s Terminal 4 if you need a pickup or drop‑off there, then continues directly to the rustic ranch‑style neighborhoods of Cave Creek, delivering you right to your doorstep or the popular downtown Plaza Cave Creek.

Because the service is private, you are the only passenger (or your party) on board, allowing you to enjoy the desert scenery or catch up on work without the distraction of other riders. The vehicle is a climate‑controlled SUV equipped with USB ports, so you can stay connected whether you’re heading to a business meeting at the Tempe Center for the Arts or planning a weekend hike at the nearby McDowell Sonoran Preserve.

  • Direct route: I‑10 west from Tempe, then Loop 202 north to Cave Creek.
  • Typical travel time: 38‑52 minutes, varying with peak‑hour traffic.
  • Scenic highlights: Salt River, McDowell Mountains, downtown Cave Creek.
  • Pickup flexibility: Door‑to‑door service from any address in Tempe or Cave Creek.

Frequently Asked Questions

How early should I schedule my shuttle to catch a morning flight from Sky Harbor?

We recommend booking at least two hours before your flight’s scheduled departure. This allows ample time for traffic on I‑10 and the Loop 202, and our drivers will monitor your flight status so they can adjust the pickup if your flight is delayed.

Can I be picked up from a specific neighborhood in Tempe, like the ASU campus or downtown?

Yes. Our door‑to‑door service means we will meet you wherever you are in Tempe—from the bustling Mill Avenue district to the quieter neighborhoods near the Tempe Marketplace. Just provide the exact address when you book.

What if my flight arrives late? Will the driver wait?

Our team tracks real‑time flight information. If your arrival is delayed, the driver will adjust the pickup time accordingly, ensuring you won’t miss the shuttle.

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".
