HOW YOU
GONNA GET THERE?
From the Airport
From
Sky Harbor Airport , courtesy shuttles are provided to most of the
resorts and Phoenix hotels otherwise public transportation, taxi or
rental cars are an option.
Rental car: The rental car
facility is at an off-site location and accommodates all airport rental
car companies, their rental counters, and vehicles.
Upon
arrival, go to the airport curb at the baggage claim level. Look for
the rental car shuttle pickup area and the complimentary multicolored
rental car shuttle, which will take you to the rental center.
Directional signs are posted throughout the terminal's baggage claim
areas to guide you to the rental car shuttle service.

service is provided in and around downtown Phoenix and to the
surrounding suburbs. Fares are generally $1.75, or you can obtain an
all-day pass.
The free Downtown Area Shuttle (DASH) is a
great way to explore downtown Phoenix , so look for the copper-colored
DASH buses. A bus comes every six minutes at any of the DASH stops that
are marked by special signs.

a free service traveling through Scottsdale 's historic Old Town , Main
Street Arts District, Marshall Way Arts District, Fifth Avenue Shops,
and Scottsdale Fashion Square .
Taxi: Taxi fees are
unregulated in Phoenix , except at the airport. The area is so large
that one-way fares can be very expensive. It's best to ask about fares
before you get into the cab. Three taxi companies are
contracted
with Sky Harbor Airport and can be found curbside outside the baggage
claim areas. You may choose any taxi you wish from the waiting line.
The three companies are AAA Cab (602-437-4000)www.aaayellowaz.com ,
Allstate (602-275-8888), and Discount (602-266-1110)
www.discountcab.com .
Fees are $5 for the first mile and $2
for each additional mile as well as a $1 airport surcharge. There's a
$16 minimum fare and no extra charges for more than one in the party or
for baggage. Travelers should be advised that cab fare from Sky Harbor
to an outlying hotel might often exceed the cost of a daily car rental.
