Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from Tucson Airport (TUS) in Arizona to downtown Tucson, the University of Arizona, the Catalina Foothills resorts, Oro Valley and Marana, booked before you land.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Tucson International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Our Tucson airport transportation takes you to hotels and homes in downtown Tucson and around the University of Arizona, to the resorts of the Catalina Foothills, and north to Oro Valley and Marana.
Tucson airport transfers start in baggage claim, on the lower level of the main terminal, or at the commercial roadways outside, as your confirmation says. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, and the price is fixed per vehicle before you fly, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group with golf bags.
Each Tucson airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, resort, home or vacation rental in Tucson, the Catalina Foothills, Oro Valley or Marana. Going on to Phoenix, Tombstone or Sedona? Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.
Our Tucson airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, not a shared ride that stops at other hotels and resorts on the way. It leaves as soon as you have your bags and suits families, golf groups and anyone staying at a foothills resort.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Tucson International Airport (TUS) is on the south side of Tucson and has one terminal with two concourses: Concourse A for Southwest, Sun Country and United, and Concourse B for Alaska, American and Delta. Whichever concourse you land at, follow the signs down to Baggage Claim on the lower level of the main terminal.
Scheduled flights here are domestic, so there is no passport control or customs on arrival; travelers from abroad clear US immigration at their first US airport. Outside baggage claim, app rides, taxis and pre-arranged cars each pick up on their own island across the roadways.
Arizona stays on Mountain Standard Time (UTC-7) all year and does not use daylight saving time.
US entry. International visitors need a US visa or an approved ESTA before they fly, and they clear immigration and customs at their first US airport, not in Tucson. Check the rules for your nationality before you travel.
REAL ID for the flight home. Adults on domestic flights need a REAL ID-compliant ID or a passport at security; a standard Arizona driver's license is no longer accepted.
No daylight saving time. Arizona keeps Mountain Standard Time all year, so in summer Tucson is on the same clock as Los Angeles. Check the local time on your tickets and pickup.
Pickup islands. App rides, taxis and pre-arranged cars each use a different island across the roadways outside baggage claim, so go to the meeting point in your confirmation.
