Tucson to Eloy Airport Shuttle
Round Trips Save You 10% Each Way
How is Your Service Different?
- Any Address - We pick up and drop off at your home, business, hotel or any airport.
- Better - most rides are non-stop and no sharing in a Nice Car, SUV or Shuttle.
- Flexible - we pick you up on your schedule 24/7. It's also always free to change the date or time if your flight changes.
- Safer - we don't leave you at a bus stop, and all our drivers go through nationwide fingerprint background checks.
- Faster - most rides take half the time, because it's just you in the vehicle. No need to stop and wait everywhere.
- More Convenient - Door to Door means no need to arrange or pay for a Taxi or Lyft to get home.
- Affordable - once you add it all up, it's the same price or less than other shared ride shuttles for two or more people, or less than Uber with just one person.
Our Daily Schedule (Eloy)
What is your daily schedule?
We pick you up on your schedule 24/7. Our professional shuttle drivers are normally 5-10 minutes early at your home in Phoenix and Tucson, or right on time at Sky Harbor. You get to pick the time we pick you up.
What is my pickup time at the Tucson airport?
We normally pick you up 30 minutes after your plane lands for domestic flights, or 45 minutes after for international flights.
What happens if my flight is delayed in Tucson?
Pickup times automatically adjust to 30 minutes after you land if your flight is delayed for domestic flights, or 45 minutes after you land for international flights.
What happens if my flight arrives early?
You can always 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 Shuttle Tucson to Eloy 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 from Tucson or Eloy?
Trips to and from Tucson and PHX in normal traffic are about an hour and forty minutes versus about three and a half hours on the bus or a shuttle with a bunch of people. Rush hour will normally add 15-45 minutes (30 minutes on the average).
What time should I be picked up?
3.5-4 hours before is normally enough time. Sky Harbor 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 minutes is normally enough time. So if the drive from Tucson to Phoenix takes about 2 hours, then 3 and a half hours before your flight takes off is normally good.

Driving from Tucson to Eloy: Quick Overview
Paragraph: If you’re looking for the fastest and most flexible way to travel the 69‑mile corridor between Tucson and Eloy, driving is typically the preferred option. According to travel‑planning resources, the drive covers roughly 69 miles (source: Rome2Rio) and takes about 56 minutes under normal traffic conditions (source: Rome2Rio).Distance and Travel Time
Paragraph: The route follows Interstate 10 (I‑10) north from Tucson for about 30 mi, then transitions onto US Route 60 (US‑60) near Picacho Peak State Park. The total distance from downtown Tucson to downtown Eloy is approximately 68–69 mi, depending on the exact start and end points. Most drivers complete the trip in just under an hour when traveling during off‑peak hours (source: Rome2Rio).Estimated Fuel Cost
Paragraph: For a typical passenger car averaging 25 mpg and using regular gasoline, the estimated fuel cost to cover the Tucson‑Eloy leg is roughly $9–$15 (source: Rome2Rio). This figure is an estimate based on current average U.S. gas prices and can vary with fluctuations in fuel costs and individual vehicle efficiency.Route Details: Highways and Landmarks
Paragraph: The drive begins on I‑10 North, passing the neighborhoods of Flowing Wells and Catalina Foothills. Just north of Tucson, you’ll see the iconic Picacho Peak, a volcanic plug that rises sharply from the desert floor—a great visual marker that you’re entering the segment of the highway that leads toward central Arizona. After about 25 mi, the highway intersects with US‑60 (the “Arizona‑58” corridor) near the town of Picacho. From there, US‑60 continues northwest through the towns of Eloy and Casa Grande. Notable landmarks along US‑60 include the Eloy Municipal Airport (E63) and the vast solar farms that have sprouted in Pinal County over the past decade, showcasing the region’s renewable‑energy push.Public Transportation Options
Paragraph: While a personal vehicle offers the most flexibility, several public‑transport alternatives exist for travelers without a car or those who prefer not to drive.Bus Services: Limousine Express and Others
Paragraph: Limousine Express operates a direct bus service between Tucson and Eloy, with pick‑up in downtown Tucson and drop‑off near the Eloy Civic Center. According to the operator’s schedule (source: Rome2Rio), the bus portion of the journey typically lasts about 1 hour, though the overall door‑to‑door time can be longer due to traffic and stops. For reservations and current timings, travelers can contact the company at +1 866 691 9732 or via email at eplasales@eplalimo.com.Taxi and Rideshare
Paragraph: A taxi or rideshare (such as Uber or Lyft) can be arranged for the entire trip. The estimated travel time mirrors that of driving—around 56 minutes—when traffic flows smoothly. The cost for a one‑way ride is generally higher than fuel expenses for a personal vehicle, and prices fluctuate based on demand, distance, and surcharges.Shuttle and Shared Rides
Paragraph: Some shuttle services run between Tucson and the Phoenix‑Mesa Gateway Airport (AZA), which is located roughly 20 mi north of Eloy. Travelers can board a shuttle in Tucson, reach the airport, and then connect to a local taxi or rideshare for the short hop to Eloy. This multi‑leg option adds travel time but can be cost‑effective for those already heading to the Phoenix area.Comparison Table: Tucson to Eloy Travel Options

Paragraph: If you’re planning a stopover or need to break up the journey, Marana makes a natural halfway point. Located about 27 mi northwest of Tucson and roughly 31 mi southeast of Eloy (source: Distance‑Cities), Marana offers easy access to I‑10 and US‑60, making it simple to re‑join either direction.Why Marana?
Paragraph: Marana’s position along the I‑10 corridor means it sees a steady flow of travelers, resulting in a range of amenities—quick‑service restaurants, gas stations, and small parks where you can stretch your legs. The town also hosts the Marana Heritage District, which features local art installations and a historic railroad depot that reflects the region’s agricultural roots.Facilities and Rest Stops
Paragraph: Rest areas in Marana include the Marana Travel Center on I‑10 North, offering clean restrooms, vending machines, and picnic areas. For those who prefer a coffee break, a national chain café is located just off the highway exit, providing a convenient caffeine boost before continuing the drive to Eloy.Environmental Impact: Carbon Footprint
Paragraph: Traveling by car contributes to CO₂ emissions. For the Tucson‑Eloy drive, a typical passenger vehicle releases approximately 42.6 pounds of CO₂ into the atmosphere (source: Rome2Rio). That translates to about 0.79 pounds of CO₂ per mile. If you’re interested in minimizing your carbon footprint, consider carpooling with another traveler, using public transit, or choosing a hybrid/electric vehicle for the trip.Tips for a Smooth Trip
Best Time to Travel
Paragraph: Weekday mornings before 7 a.m. and late evenings after 8 p.m. typically see lighter traffic on I‑10. Weekends can be busy, especially during holidays when Phoenix‑bound vacationers flood the route.Vehicle Preparation
Paragraph: Before heading out, check tire pressure, fluid levels, and ensure your air‑conditioning is functional—Arizona summers can push temperatures above 100 °F, and a well‑maintained AC system makes the ride comfortable.Safety and Road Conditions
Paragraph: I‑10 through the Sonoran Desert can be deceptive; long stretches of straight highway may cause fatigue. Take a 10‑minute break every 90 minutes, stay hydrated, and keep a roadside emergency kit with water, a flashlight, and a first‑aid pack.Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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.
Airport Pickup Locations
Your Tucson to Eloy Shuttle picks up at Sky Harbor 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 on 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".
