Private shuttle from Tombstone to Tucson International Airport
Tombstone runs on tourist time, but its flights leave on real time: the closest commercial airport is Tucson International (TUS), about 67 road miles west down the I-10 corridor. That is far enough that a self-drive at 4:30 a.m. - or leaving a rental car in a paid lot for a week - stops making sense fast. This page covers the route from Allen Street country to the TUS terminal, realistic drive times, and the fares actually recorded on completed Tombstone shuttle trips.
The route from Tombstone to Tucson International Airport
The drive follows AZ-80 northwest out of Tombstone to the I-10 junction at Benson, then runs I-10 West past Vail and the Rincon Valley to the airport exit on Tucson's south side. Completed trips on this corridor logged a median of about 67 dispatch miles; the run is freeway almost the whole way once you reach Benson, so the variable is the AZ-80 stretch and the time of day you hit Tucson's east side.
