GROUND TRANSPORTATION
Airport Shuttle Services: a general overview.
If you elect to fly into Phoenix and do not plan to drive a rental car south to Tucson, you may wish to take the Arizona Shuttle (see information below) a comfortable mini-bus service between the Phoenix and Tucson airports. The shuttle leaves Phoenix every hour on the half-hour from 6:30 AM to 11:30.
Look for the kiosk in the baggage terminal labeled Greater Arizona Intercity Transportation. The shuttle takes passengers to one of three drop-off sites in Tucson. Fares have recently gone up due to fuel surcharges. Expect to pay between $48-60 round trip. The lowest fares may be obtained by calling 800-888-2749 at 7 days ahead and reserving a seat.
