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.
