Our Daily Schedule

What is your daily schedule?

We pick you up on your schedule 24/7. Our professional drivers are normally 5-10 minutes early at your home, or right on time at the airport. You get to pick the time we pick you up.

What is my pickup time at the 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?

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 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 to go from Phoenix or Winslow?

Travel time to and from Winslow Arizona zip codes in normal traffic are about 3 hours and 10 minutes versus about 6 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?

4 hours and 45 minutes before is normally enough time. The airport 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 Winslow to Phoenix takes about 3 hours and 10 minutes, then 4 hours and 45 minutes before your flight takes off is normally good.

      Driving Distance and Travel Time from Winslow, AZ to Phoenix, AZ

      When you plan a trip between Winslow, AZ (86047) and Phoenix, AZ (85003), the first thing to know is how far you’ll be on the road. According to travel‑planning data from MapQuest, the non‑stop driving time between the two cities is roughly 3 hours 32 minutes[1]. This estimate assumes you travel the most direct route without significant traffic delays, road construction, or weather‑related slowdowns. For most drivers, a single‑day journey is manageable, making Winslow a convenient day‑trip or weekend destination from the Phoenix metropolitan area.

      Which Highway Should You Take?

      The most common route follows Interstate 40 (I‑40) for the majority of the trek, with a brief segment on Interstate 17 (I‑17) near Phoenix. Here’s a step‑by‑step overview of the highway sequence:

      • Start in downtown Phoenix (85003) and head north on I‑17.
      • After about 150 miles, merge onto I‑40 East at Flagstaff.
      • Continue east on I‑40 for roughly 70 miles until you reach Winslow.

      Total distance along this corridor is approximately 220 miles, though alternative routes using US‑60 or US‑93 can add extra mileage. The I‑40/I‑17 combination is the quickest and most heavily travelled, so you’ll find ample fuel stations, rest areas, and services along the way.

      Halfway Point: Rimrock, AZ

      If you need a logical stopping point, the community of Rimrock, AZ, sits near the geographic centre of the two cities. Data from MapQuest shows Rimrock is about 107 miles from Winslow and 97 miles from Phoenix[1]. Driving times from each endpoint are roughly 1 hour 38 minutes from Winslow and 1 hour 33 minutes from Phoenix[1]. Rimrock offers a few basic amenities—gas, a small grocery store, and a couple of diners—making it a practical place to refuel or grab a quick bite before continuing.

      Fuel Costs and Environmental Impact

      For budgeting purposes, it helps to know how much gas you’ll burn and what the associated costs are. Using an average U.S. regular‑gas price of $4.35 per gallon (the figure applied by the calculator on MapQuest), the estimated cost to drive from Winslow to Phoenix is about $34.97[1]. Over the 100‑mile midpoint distance, a typical passenger car releases roughly 157.46 pounds of CO₂ into the atmosphere, which translates to about 0.79 pounds of CO₂ per mile[1]. These figures give you a sense of both the financial and carbon footprint of the trip, useful information if you’re trying to travel more sustainably.

      Key Scenic Stops and Points of Interest Along the Route

      The drive isn’t just a utilitarian stretch of highway; it passes through some of Arizona’s most striking landscapes and historic sites. Below are several noteworthy stops that lie within a short detour of I‑40:

      • Meteor Crater – Located about 30 miles east of Flagstaff, this well‑preserved impact site offers a museum, viewing platforms, and guided rim tours.
      • Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument – A short drive north of I‑40 near Flagstaff, featuring volcanic cones, lava flows, and easy hiking trails.
      • Wupatki National Monument – Adjacent to Sunset Crater, these ancient Puebloan ruins provide a glimpse into the region’s pre‑Columbian history.
      • Walnut Canyon National Monument – Just east of Flagstaff, known for its cliff dwellings tucked into a limestone canyon.
      • Flagstaff Historic Downtown – A vibrant hub with local restaurants, brew pubs, and the historic Route 66 ambiance.
      • Homolovi State Park – Near Winslow, offering camping, hiking, and views of ancient petroglyphs.
      • “Standin’ on the Corner” Park – In Winslow itself, this public plaza commemorates the Eagles’ song “Take It Easy” and is a quick photo stop.

      Each of these attractions adds value to the journey, allowing you to turn a simple drive into a mini‑adventure. Remember to check individual site hours and any reservation requirements before departure.

    Our Better Vehicles

    What type of vehicle will pick me up?

    We can send a shuttle (4+ passengers) or a nice car (1-3 passengers) anytime and take you to or from any address in Arizona, not just the airport. Our vehicles are clean and newer. Most vehicles are luxury and full size. We have Mercedes Sprinters, Chrysler 300's, Lexus ES300 Hybrids, Lincoln MKZ's, and a variety of other vehicles to meet your needs.


    Our Pickup Locations

    Your 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 airport security will send people to the wrong place, so it's better to follow the directions below. The airport 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".


    To and From Any Address (One Way)

    Things You Should Know

    Does it make sense to take an Uber or Lyft?

    Uber and Lyft drivers often cancel once they arrive at your house, because the app doesn't tell them where they are going until they arrive at your home. Usually drivers don't want to drive that far and not get paid for two hours to drive back, or they are unavailable to work for that long. This may result in you missing your flight after 2-3 of them cancel in a row, and they charge you $5 each time for the cancellation. You then try to contact Uber or Lyft over the next week to get a refund, and they don't even have a phone number.

    Another thing to consider is that Uber and Lyft drivers are never interviewed, so you may get a depressed guy complaining about his life, a tiny car with no leg room or a creeper. Uber and Lyft also do not train their drivers and the airport is moderately confusing to most people, so they usually have no idea where to go.


    How reliable is the Greyhound bus or an Arizona shuttle with a lot of people?

    Companies that do shared rides will try to pick you up an hour or two earlier, but they make no promises about when you will actually get to the airport. If you're on a tight schedule, the shared ride option with Arizona shuttle or the Greyhound is probably not a good idea. Extra stops and scheduling with other passengers can either make you too early or potentially late. Even with great drivers, passengers can be unpredictable and end up making everyone miss their flight.

    Winslow Shuttle can service all your rides to anywhere in Arizona. From Winslow AZ to Flagstaff AZ or to Phoenix AZ, we are able to take you! The distance between Winslow AZ and Phoenix AZ is 185 miles, which is a 3 hour and 5 minute drive.
