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 PHX. 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 mins 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 mins after you land for international flights.

What happens if my flight arrives early?

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 Nogales? The Nogales to Phoenix page covers the same corridor in the opposite direction.

Trips to and from Nogales in normal traffic are about 2 hours and 45 minutes versus about 5 hours and 30 mins on the bus or a shuttle with a bunch of people. Rush hour will normally add 15-45 mins (30 mins on the average).

How Far Is Nogales From Phoenix?

Nogales is about 178 miles from Phoenix — roughly 3 hours 15 minutes of driving via I-10 E and I-19 S in normal traffic. The route heads south past Casa Grande and Eloy, through Tucson, then down I-19 S through Green Valley, Sahuarita, Tubac and Rio Rico before reaching Nogales on the Arizona-Mexico border. Your driver covers all of it door to door — no terminal check-in, no waiting for other passengers, no stops you didn't ask for.

Need the East Valley instead? We also run the Mesa to Nogales shuttle, and our Nogales shuttle service covers the whole corridor 24/7.

Mileage from actual recent quotes: door-to-door runs on this corridor have measured everywhere from 165 to 203 miles depending on your starting point, with 176 miles the most common. Typical one-way distances from real quotes: Phoenix Sky Harbor about 174–176 miles, Tempe 171–174, Mesa 172–178, Glendale 188, Goodyear 196 and El Mirage 203. Enter your exact address in the booking tool and your exact mileage and fare are calculated instantly.

The Drive South: What to Expect

Most of the trip is easy interstate driving. About two hours in you pass through Tucson, the last big city before the border. From there I-19 S follows the Santa Cruz River valley through Green Valley, Sahuarita, Tubac and Tumacácori — a quieter, scenic stretch of southern Arizona — before the interstate ends right in Nogales. That last hour is why we let you pick your own pickup time instead of forcing a shared schedule.

Plan the drive like a two-leg trip. The Phoenix-to-Tucson leg is the busy part: I-10 through Chandler, Casa Grande and Eloy carries commuter and freight traffic, so it pays to build in a cushion on weekday mornings and Friday afternoons. After Tucson the character of the drive changes completely — I-19 S is a shorter, calmer highway with an exit for nearly every mission-town stop: Green Valley, Sahuarita, Tubac and Tumacácori. Fuel up and take a break in Tucson or Sahuarita; services thin out along the Santa Cruz River valley, and you want to arrive at the border area unhurried. The interstate actually ends at the border itself, so there is no through traffic past Nogales — the last miles stay simple.

Nogales Border Crossing: What to Know

Nogales, Arizona sits directly on the U.S.-Mexico border, and crossing between Nogales, AZ and Nogales, Sonora is a regular day trip for shopping, dental and medical visits, and family. There are two main crossings: the Mariposa Port of Entry on the west side of town and the downtown DeConcini crossing. We drop you at any Nogales, AZ address you choose — a hotel, a family member's home, or the border area if you plan to walk across — and pick you up at the same door on the way back.

Documents for crossing and re-entering the U.S. are set by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, so check current requirements at cbp.gov before you travel, and build a little extra time into your return trip around busy border hours. If you'd rather not deal with the crossing at all, your driver meets you on the Arizona side and gets you home non-stop.

What time should I be picked up?

4 hours and 45 minutes before is normally enough time. PHX 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 Nogales to Phoenix takes about 2 hours and 45 mins, then 4 and 45 mins before your flight takes off is normally good.

Shuttles from Phoenix - Nogales Mexico are typically packed with a bunch of people and they stop over and over again. Recently a customer told us their van was rattling the whole trip and they took forever, stopping at gas stations along the way for no apparent reason. We offer much better service and vehicles than Sahuaro shuttle Phoenix and many other companies. How can we make that claim? Just read our reviews and it's obvious. Call us and try it out, you'll be happy that you did.

If you're wanting to go from Phoenix to Nogales Mexico, we can help. We offer a Phoenix to Nogales shuttle from Phoenix - Nogales AZ.

Our Better Vehicles

What type of vehicle will pick me up?

We send an airport shuttle or SUV (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, Lincoln Navigators, Chrysler 300's, Lexus ES300 Hybrids, Lincoln MKZ's, and a variety of other vehicles to meet your needs.

For a Nogales run the vehicle matters more than usual: a full-size SUV or Sprinter gives you real luggage room for shopping trips and for medical or dental travel bags, without anyone riding next to a packed suitcase for three hours. Whatever we send, it is your party only — the seats stay yours the whole way down I-19.

Our Pickup Locations

Your Nogales 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".

To and From Any Address (One Way)

What kind of transportation services do you offer?

We offer a Phoenix to Nogales Shuttle, and other types of Nogales transportation like black car and taxi. We customize our shuttle service to your needs by offering different options like shuttles, black car services, and taxi. We offer many types of vehicles, and different options to make your experience great.

We also drive the southern-Arizona corridors that connect to this route: the Mesa to Nogales shuttle for the East Valley, the Tucson to Nogales shuttle for southern pickups, and the Nogales to Phoenix shuttle for the northbound trip. Every route is door to door, any address, 24/7.

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 in Phoenix or Nogales, because the app doesn't tell them where they are going until they arrive at your home. Usually they don't want to drive that far and not get paid for 3 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 Sky Harbor 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?

Other shuttle companies that do shared rides in Phoenix and Nogales will try to pick you up an hour or two earlier, but they make no promises about when you will actually get to PHX. 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.

Can you take me to the border to walk across?
