Somewhere around mile marker 220 on I-10 — after you've passed Picacho Peak and the desert opens back up toward the East Valley — someone in the group chat asks: so who's picking everyone up? That's the moment the coordination problem begins. Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) handled 52.3 million passengers in 2024, its busiest year ever, and a significant share of those passengers land in groups: families heading out for spring break, wedding parties catching departures on Saturday morning, corporate teams flying together for a conference, Tucson groups heading to PHX because it connects to more destinations than TUS ever will.

Every one of those groups faces the same problem — who coordinates the cars, who circles the departure curb, who gets stuck in the Loop 202 crawl while everyone else has already checked in. A charter bus or minibus rental to Phoenix Sky Harbor solves all of it in a single call or quote request. This guide covers exactly how: where the bus drops at each terminal, how the PHX Sky Train fits into your day, what the I-10 run from Tucson actually looks like, and what groups from Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, and San Tan Valley need to know before they book.

Partybusintucson.com makes it easy to compare party buses, charter buses, minibuses, and Sprinter vans through a large network of bus companies serving Tucson and southern Arizona — with online pricing in under 30 seconds and no account required.

The Real Problem a PHX Charter Bus or Party Bus Solves

Sky Harbor has two active terminals — Terminal 3 (the John S. McCain III Terminal) and Terminal 4 (the Barry M. Goldwater Terminal) — and they are not connected by foot. A group with eight people on Delta and four on Southwest doesn't just split into two cars; it splits into two separate ground transportation operations, potentially with different curb zones, different levels, and a 15-minute Sky Train ride between them. Coordinating rideshares across that gap, with bags, in Phoenix summer heat, is exactly the kind of thing nobody thinks about until they're standing outside Terminal 4 watching their Lyft cancel.

A prearranged charter bus sidesteps the whole scramble. One vehicle, one meeting point — your group assembles at a single curb, and the bus is already staged nearby, ready to pull in when your coordinator gives the word. PHX requires commercial ground transportation companies to hold a permit and display a current annual decal in order to operate on airport property.

That's the "prearranged" category that covers charter buses, and it means the companies in Partybusintucson.com's network have the airport access locked in — your group doesn't have to figure out whether your vehicle is allowed where you're trying to go. For more on what Tucson airport transportation looks like for groups flying out of TUS instead, that page covers TUS curbside and bag logistics in detail.

Terminal 3 vs. Terminal 4: Know Before Your Group Arrives

The single most important thing your group coordinator needs before departure day is the answer to one question: which terminal? Getting it wrong doesn't just mean a long walk — it means a Sky Train ride, a bag shuffle, and a pickup delay on a day when everyone's already anxious about flight times.

Terminal 3 serves Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Alaska Airlines, JetBlue, and Frontier, among others. Gates run E1–E10 (East Concourse) and F1–F15 (North Concourse) — 25 gates total. Arrivals and baggage claim are on Level 1.

The Delta Sky Club sits near gate F8, and a United Club anchors the E Concourse. One thing to flag for your group: Terminal 3 is in the middle of a $368 million expansion — six new gates plus a connector bridge to Terminal 4 — with construction running through 2027. Current operations are not affected, but expect signage and lane configurations to shift near the terminal during this period.

Terminal 4 is Sky Harbor's main hub — American Airlines and Southwest Airlines both operate here, along with British Airways, Air France, Air Canada, and most international carriers. It's the larger terminal by far: 92 gates across four concourses (A, B, C, D), with baggage claim on Level 1, ticketing on Level 2, security and gates on Level 3, and Sky Train access on Level 4 at the east end of the terminal. Three Admirals Clubs, a Chase Sapphire Lounge, a Centurion Lounge, and an Escape Lounge all call Terminal 4 home — useful to know if corporate travelers in your group need to work during a connection.

If your group is split across airlines at different terminals, decide in advance whether everyone gathers at one terminal and rides the Sky Train together, or whether the bus runs both curbs in sequence. Either way, communicating that plan before bags start hitting the carousel saves twenty minutes of confusion at the curb.

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) — 3400 E Sky Harbor Blvd, Phoenix, AZ 85034 — the 11th-busiest airport in the US and the gateway most Tucson-area groups use for flights that TUS doesn't cover.

Charter Bus and Party Bus Drop-Off at Phoenix Sky Harbor

For departures, charter buses and minibuses pull to the departures-level roadway at each terminal — Terminal 3's upper departures level or Terminal 4's Level 2 departures curb — where passengers unload curbside directly at the check-in entrances. There's no parking structure to navigate and no long walk from a remote lot; your group steps off at the door and heads straight to the check-in counters. That's the one part of the airport trip that almost always goes smoothly when a bus is involved.

Pickups on the arrivals side take a little more coordination. At Terminal 3, commercial prearranged vehicles — including charter buses — use the outer curb zone on the south side, near Door 8 at the east end of the terminal. That's the designated commercial vehicle area, separate from the inner curb lanes used by personal vehicles and the rideshare zone near Door 2.

Your group exits baggage claim on Level 1, walks to the outer curb, and the bus stages nearby at the Ground Transportation Staging Lot at 2323 E Sky Harbor Circle North until the coordinator calls it in. Build in a few minutes for the bus to pull from staging to the curb — this is normal and expected at any large commercial airport.

At Terminal 4, prearranged vehicle pickup uses Level 1, north outer curb at the far west end outside Door 1, or alternately the south outer curb east end outside Doors 6 or 8. Your confirmation will specify the exact zone based on your provider and the current curb configuration. Rideshare pickup at Terminal 4 uses the same outer curb areas — Door 1 for the north side and Door 8 for the south side — which is exactly why your coordinator needs to communicate the precise meeting spot to the group before bags come off the carousel.

Many first-time PHX travelers mix up the rideshare zone and the prearranged zone at Terminal 4. With a bus, that's solved by the group coordinator confirming the pickup zone in advance and sharing it with everyone before the flight lands.

Gather first, then call for the bus. PHX permit rules require commercial vehicles to have a confirmed, waiting passenger before pulling to the curbside pickup zone. Collect your full group and all bags at Level 1 first, then have your coordinator contact the bus company to confirm the pull-in window.

Calling for the bus before the last bag comes off the carousel creates unnecessary curb congestion and delays.

For current drop-off and pickup zone configurations, the airport's official ground transportation page has the most up-to-date curb maps for both terminals — worth a quick check before your trip, since lane allocations do shift during construction periods. The airport's commercial ground transportation support page covers the permit and decal requirements that permitted bus companies must meet to operate at PHX.

The PHX Sky Train: Free and Fast — and What Your Group Actually Needs to Know

The PHX Sky Train is one of the better airport people-movers in the country: completely free, automated, running every 3–5 minutes at all hours, and connecting six stations across a five-mile elevated line. In order from east to west: 44th Street/Washington (Valley Metro Light Rail connection) → East Economy ParkingTerminal 4Terminal 324th Street Economy ParkingRental Car Center. The leg between Terminal 4 and Terminal 3 takes roughly two minutes.

The full ride from the 44th Street station — where you connect to Valley Metro's light rail — to the Rental Car Center takes about 13 minutes. For background on the system, the PHX Sky Train Wikipedia article covers its construction phases and notable features (including the 100-foot taxiway bridge).

If your group arrives at one terminal and needs to reach the other — say, a few people land at Terminal 3 while the rest are waiting at Terminal 4 — the Sky Train covers the gap in two minutes at no cost. But if the whole group has a charter bus meeting them at one curb, the Sky Train is something you simply walk past on the way out. That's the real benefit: one bus means one meeting point, one terminal, and none of this.

Your group doesn't need to figure out Sky Train station access, wait for the next train, or coordinate which economy parking lot connects to which terminal. The bus meets you at the curb and you're done.

The Sky Train's East Economy and 24th Street stations also matter if any members of your group drove separately and parked on-site. The East Economy Garages A & B connect directly to the Sky Train at the East Economy station and run trains to Terminal 4 in under four minutes. From Terminal 4, one more two-minute ride reaches Terminal 3 — useful if, say, half your group drove to the airport and the other half is on the charter bus.

The I-10 Run North: Rent a Bus from Tucson to Phoenix Sky Harbor

Phoenix Sky Harbor sits roughly 115 miles northwest of downtown Tucson via I-10 — about an hour and 45 minutes on a clear weekday morning, and closer to two hours or more if you're hitting Phoenix on a Friday afternoon or during morning rush. The route is straightforward for most of the haul: I-10 north through Eloy and Casa Grande, through Chandler, and into Tempe, where the highway crosses the Salt River. The exit that matters for Sky Harbor is Exit 153A westbound — SR-143 North (Hohokam Expressway) — which spurs 4 miles directly north to Sky Harbor Boulevard.

That's the standard airport approach from the south and east.

The stretch of I-10 through the Tempe/Phoenix corridor — locally known as the Broadway Curve — carries more than 300,000 vehicles on an average weekday, making it one of the heaviest freeway segments in Arizona. ADOT's recently completed Broadway Curve improvement project widened I-10 to 16 lanes between the Loop 202 interchange and I-17, which helped throughput significantly — but it hasn't made peak-hour travel stress-free. A Friday afternoon departure that should take an hour and 45 minutes can stretch to two and a half hours if your pickup timing lands in the 3–5 p.m.

Phoenix commute wave. If your group has a 6 p.m. flight, that math matters a lot.

One bus carrying your whole group handles this stretch as a single unit: one vehicle, one departure time, one coordinated arrival at the departures curb. When 10 separate cars are trying to convoy the same route, someone always gets separated at an on-ramp, someone else hits a different traffic backup, and arrivals at the terminal get staggered by 20–30 minutes. A Tucson charter bus to Phoenix Sky Harbor keeps your group on one departure schedule with one arrival window — no stragglers, no frantic texts from the back half of the caravan.

Tucson to Phoenix Sky Harbor — roughly 115 miles via I-10 North, then SR-143 (Hohokam Expressway) at Exit 153A into the airport. In heavy traffic, this run adds 30–45 minutes. On a bus, that's someone else's math problem.

Buffer time for groups heading to the departures curb: TSA recommends arriving two hours before domestic flights and three hours before international. Add the I-10 buffer of 30–45 minutes during peak hours, plus time for the bus to reach the correct terminal and unload. A Tucson group with a 7 a.m. departure should target leaving by 4:00–4:30 a.m. to be safe.

For a noon flight, a 9:00–9:30 a.m. departure from central Tucson works comfortably under normal traffic. The bus company will help you set the right pickup time when you request a quote — that conversation is worth having before you finalize anything. Call 520-917-1795 or check pricing through the Tucson group transportation page if you're planning a same-day round-trip or a multi-stop itinerary.

Short Hops to PHX: Bus Rentals from Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, and San Tan Valley

Not every group heading to Phoenix Sky Harbor starts in Tucson. Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, and San Tan Valley all sit in the East Valley — closer to the airport than Tucson, but not close enough to make coordinating a dozen cars painless, especially when the group is dealing with bags, early morning flights, and the Loop 202 on a Thursday afternoon.

Starting City Approx. Distance to PHX Typical Drive Time (off-peak) Primary Route
Mesa ~13 miles 20–25 minutes Loop 202 W → AZ-143 N to Sky Harbor Blvd
Chandler ~15 miles 20–25 minutes Loop 202 W or I-10 W → AZ-143 N
Gilbert ~20 miles 25–30 minutes Loop 202 W → AZ-143 N to Sky Harbor Blvd
San Tan Valley ~42 miles ~50 minutes US-60 W → Loop 202 W → AZ-143 N

Mesa and Chandler are the closest — under 20 minutes from the airport in light traffic via SR-143 (Hohokam Expressway), which branches north from I-10 and Loop 202 directly to Sky Harbor Boulevard. That proximity makes a minibus especially efficient for East Valley groups: the drive is short, the route is clean, and a 15–35 passenger minibus can load a family reunion or a corporate travel group at a single address and deliver everyone to the departures curb in one trip. Gilbert adds a few more miles on the Loop 202, and San Tan Valley extends the run to US-60 before connecting to Loop 202 — still well under an hour in normal conditions.

Mesa to Phoenix Sky Harbor — roughly 13 miles via Loop 202 West and AZ-143 North. Under 25 minutes off-peak, but worth adding buffer time for early morning or afternoon flights when the 202 thickens up.

For a Chandler group catching a 6 a.m. American Airlines flight, a minibus pickup at 4:00 a.m. at one address — rather than five separate cars trying to meet at the Terminal 4 departures curb at the same time — keeps the morning from becoming an exercise in group text anxiety. Same logic applies for a Gilbert party bus rental for a bachelorette group flying out Friday night: one pickup, one departure, one drop at the upper-level curb, and everyone's already celebrating before they reach the gate.

San Tan Valley groups making the US-60 run add the most miles but still land under an hour — reasonable for a charter bus that picks everyone up at one neighborhood address instead of splitting into four or five cars heading from different starting points. Mesa bus rentals to PHX are among the shortest airport runs in the region; for groups of 15 or more, the minibus makes the most sense.

San Tan Valley to Phoenix Sky Harbor — roughly 42 miles via US-60 West and Loop 202 West. About 50 minutes off-peak, closer to 70+ during morning or afternoon rush.

PHX Parking Math: What Driving Separately Actually Costs

Parking at Phoenix Sky Harbor has gotten significantly more expensive. Effective October 1, 2024, the airport raised its daily parking rates across all facilities. Current on-site rates at PHX: East Economy Garages A & B run $16 per day; the East Economy Lot (uncovered) runs $14 per day; the West Economy Garage runs $19 per day; and the Terminal 3 and Terminal 4 garages max out at $30–$35 per day.

Hourly rates across all facilities are $6 per hour. The full current rate table is on the official PHX parking rates page — worth a check before your trip since these numbers have moved twice in the past two years.

For a group of 40 people driving 10 cars on a five-night trip, the parking bill looks like this: 10 cars × $16 (East Economy) × 5 nights = $800 in parking alone — before gas up I-10, before the coordination problem, before the post-flight rideshare scramble for anyone who didn't drive. One 40–56 passenger charter bus from Tucson to PHX and back might come to a similar total, split 40 ways, with no individual parking pass, no caravan coordination, and no one arriving at the terminal 30 minutes after everyone else. That's the per-person math that makes the bus the obvious call for groups past a certain size.

For even shorter East Valley runs, the logic is starker: a Chandler group of 20 people paying for 20 rideshares each way — at $25–$40 per car for a PHX airport ride during peak hours — spends $500–$800 in rideshare costs for a single round-trip, before any parking. A minibus rental covers the same trip for a predictable flat rate. Check the bus pricing page for current planning ranges, and remember pricing moves with vehicle size, the date, and how long the bus is reserved — so the fastest way to know your actual number is to call 520-917-1795 or request a quick quote.

What Size Bus Does Your Group Need for PHX?

The right vehicle depends on two things: how many people are in your group and how much gear you're moving. For airport runs, luggage is the variable that breaks a lot of plans — a charter bus with undercarriage bays handles it cleanly, while a party bus with perimeter seating and a dance floor handles it less so. Here's how the full vehicle lineup breaks down for a PHX airport transfer.

Vehicle Seats Luggage Capacity Best For Key Amenities
14-passenger Sprinter limo / Sprinter van Up to 14 Moderate — 8–10 carry-ons, modest checked-bag equivalents Small corporate groups, VIP transfers, wedding parties Premium leather, USB charging, tinted windows, individual reading lights
15–35 passenger minibus 15–35 Good — overhead bins plus some underfloor capacity East Valley groups, mid-size families, corporate shuttle loops Powerful A/C, plush reclining seats, overhead storage
Party bus (15–50 passengers) ~15–50 Onboard only — lighter luggage loads Celebratory departures, bachelorette/bachelor send-offs LED lighting, Bluetooth sound, flat-panel TVs, perimeter seating
40–56 passenger charter bus Up to 56 Excellent — deep undercarriage bays hold 30+ checked bags Large groups, Tucson-to-PHX long haul, heavy luggage loads Reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restrooms, undercarriage bays

For the 115-mile Tucson-to-PHX haul, a full-size charter bus is almost always the right call for groups of 25 or more. The undercarriage bays handle checked-bag-equivalent luggage easily — no one is cramming a week's worth of gear into overhead bins — and the onboard restrooms eliminate the usual rest-stop debate on I-10. A minibus is the natural fit for East Valley groups of 15–30 where the ride is short and luggage loads are lighter.

Party buses work perfectly for departure send-offs where the celebratory vibe matters more than luggage capacity — think bachelorette groups catching a morning flight after a Tucson or Scottsdale weekend. ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network; just note that need when you request your quote.

Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport Bus Rental Prices from Tucson and the East Valley

Pricing for a PHX airport charter bus or party bus rental moves with four variables: vehicle size, total hours (including wait time if the bus is running pickups on both the arrival and departure legs), the date, and the mileage of the run. To give you an idea of what the planning ranges look like:

A 15–35 passenger minibus runs roughly $200–$250 per hour on weekdays, $200–$275 on weekends, with per-day rates of $1,100–$2,150. For a short East Valley-to-PHX run of two to three hours round-trip, that comes to $400–$750 total — split 20 ways, well under $40 per person, and already cheaper than coordinating 20 individual rideshares each way.

A 40–56 passenger charter bus for the Tucson-to-PHX run runs $200–$350 per hour, with per-day rates of $1,350–$2,850. A five-hour block covering pickup in Tucson, the I-10 run, a terminal drop, a wait window, and a return pickup might come to $1,000–$1,750 total — roughly $25–$44 per person for a group of 40, with luggage sorted and the whole trip stress-free. Those are planning ranges, not a quote; the real number for your date, headcount, and itinerary comes from calling 520-917-1795 or using the quick online form.

Pricing always adjusts to your specific trip.

Tips for PHX Group Travel

A few things worth knowing before your group's departure day at Sky Harbor:

  • Confirm your terminal before departure day. Airlines occasionally change terminal assignments, and a group of 30 people showing up at Terminal 3 for an American Airlines flight (Terminal 4) is a painful mistake. Double-check your boarding pass the night before and communicate the terminal to the whole group. If part of your group is on a different airline at a different terminal, decide in advance whether they ride the free Sky Train over or whether the bus makes two terminal stops.
  • Tell the bus company which terminal and which curb level. Drop-offs go to the departures level; pickups go to the arrivals Level 1 outer curb. Your coordinator should confirm both the terminal and the specific curb zone when finalizing the booking so there's no ambiguity on the day.
  • Gather the full group before calling for the bus. PHX's commercial vehicle rules require permitted vehicles to have a waiting passenger before pulling to the curbside zone. Collect everyone and all bags first, then give the signal. This prevents the bus from staging at the curb and holding up other ground transportation.
  • Build in buffer for I-10 from Tucson. Two hours before domestic departure is TSA's baseline. Add 30–45 minutes for traffic between Tucson and Phoenix on weekday mornings and Friday afternoons — that means a domestic group with a 7:00 a.m. flight should target a 4:00–4:30 a.m. Tucson pickup. It sounds early, but it's the right call.
  • Terminal 3 construction through 2027. The $368 million Terminal 3 expansion is active — current operations aren't disrupted, but curb-lane configurations near the terminal may shift. Check the official PHX ground transportation page closer to your trip date for any current curb changes.
  • International flights need three hours. Terminal 4 handles most international departures. If your group is catching a British Airways or Air France flight, the standard buffer is three hours before departure — not two. Plan the bus pickup accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions About PHX Charter Bus and Party Bus Rentals

Where does a charter bus drop off at Phoenix Sky Harbor for departures?

Charter buses use the departures-level roadway at each terminal — the upper departures level at Terminal 3 and Level 2 at Terminal 4 — pulling curbside at the check-in entrances. Your group steps off directly at the doors with no parking structure entry and no long curb walk. For arrivals pickups, the curb zones are on Level 1 (outer curb) at both terminals.

Where does a bus pick up arriving passengers at Terminal 3 vs. Terminal 4?

At Terminal 3, commercial prearranged vehicles — including charter buses — use the outer curb on the south side near Door 8 at the east end of the terminal. At Terminal 4, prearranged vehicles use Level 1 outer curbs: north outer curb at the west end near Door 1, or the south outer curb at the east end outside Doors 6 or 8. Confirm the specific zone with your bus company when you book, since the exact curb assignment can vary by provider and current airport configuration.

The PHX ground transportation page has the official curb maps.

Does a charter bus or party bus need a permit to operate at PHX?

Yes. All commercial ground transportation vehicles operating at Phoenix Sky Harbor must hold a permit issued by the airport's Ground Transportation Office and display a current annual decal on the windshield. Charter buses operate under the "Prearranged (Prescheduled)" permit category, which requires customers to arrange transportation before arriving at the airport — exactly what a group does when they find a bus through Partybusintucson.com.

The bus companies in the network already have this handled; it's not something your group coordinates separately. The airport's commercial ground transportation support page covers the permit requirements in full.

How long is the drive from Tucson to Phoenix Sky Harbor?

About 115 miles via I-10 North, typically 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours without significant traffic. Friday afternoons and weekday morning rush (roughly 7–9 a.m. in the Phoenix metro) can push that to 2.5 hours or more through the Broadway Curve and the Tempe/Phoenix corridor. Plan your pickup time with that buffer built in — for a 7:00 a.m. domestic flight, a 4:00–4:30 a.m.

Tucson pickup is the right call.

How do I tell my group which curb to meet at?

The simplest approach: send the group the terminal (T3 or T4), the level (Level 1, arrivals), and the specific door number (e.g., Door 8 at Terminal 3, or Door 1 at Terminal 4 north side) before the flight lands. Tell everyone to retrieve bags first, then walk to the outer curb — not the inner curb, which is for personal vehicles. Your bus coordinator calls for the vehicle once everyone is assembled.

The more specific your group communication is in advance, the smoother the pickup window goes.

What airlines use Terminal 3 at PHX?

Terminal 3 currently serves Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Alaska Airlines, JetBlue, and Frontier, among others. Gates run E1–E10 and F1–F15. Check your boarding pass to confirm — airline terminal assignments can change, and the ongoing Terminal 3 expansion may affect signage and curb configurations through 2027.

Full terminal and airline details are available through the airport's official Terminal 3 page and the PHX Wikipedia article.

What airlines use Terminal 4 at PHX?

American Airlines and Southwest Airlines are the two dominant carriers at Terminal 4, along with most international airlines: British Airways, Air France, Air Canada, and others. With 92 gates across four concourses, Terminal 4 handles the majority of Sky Harbor's 52-million-passenger volume. Most international departures leave from here — if your group is catching a flight abroad, budget three hours before departure and confirm you're heading to Terminal 4.

Can the bus wait while my group is inside the airport?

Yes — commercial vehicles stage at the Ground Transportation Staging Lot at 2323 E Sky Harbor Circle North and the 44th Street Transportation Hold Lot at 44th Street and Washington while waiting. The bus is reserved for your group's block of time, so it can hold while your group checks bags, clears security, or runs a quick food stop before catching a connecting group at arrivals. Coordinate the wait window with the bus company when you finalize the itinerary.

How much does it cost to rent a bus from Tucson to Phoenix Sky Harbor?

Pricing depends on vehicle size, total reserved hours, and the date. To give you an idea: a 40–56 passenger charter bus runs roughly $200–$350 per hour, or $1,350–$2,850 for a full day. A five-hour round-trip block covering the Tucson-to-PHX run could come to $1,000–$1,750 total — roughly $25–$44 per person for a group of 40, which regularly undercuts what 10 cars would spend on parking alone.

A 15–35 passenger minibus runs $200–$250 per hour on weekdays ($200–$275 on weekends), with per-day rates of $1,100–$2,150 — the right fit for smaller East Valley groups. These are planning ranges to give you an idea of scale; your actual quote is based on your specific itinerary. Call 520-917-1795 or request a quote online — pricing comes back in about a minute.

Is there parking at PHX, and how much does it cost?

Yes. On-site parking rates effective October 2024: East Economy Garages A & B at $16 per day, the East Economy Lot (uncovered) at $14 per day, the West Economy Garage at $19 per day, and Terminal 3/4 garages topping out at $30–$35 per day. Hourly rates across all facilities run $6 per hour.

For a group of 10 cars on a five-night trip, that's $700–$1,750 in parking alone — before factoring in gas, multiple departure times, and the inevitable baggage confusion at the arrivals curb. The official PHX parking rates page has current details by lot.

What is the PHX Sky Train and does my group need it?

The PHX Sky Train is a free automated people mover running at all hours every 3–5 minutes across six stations: 44th Street/Washington (Valley Metro Light Rail connection), East Economy Parking, Terminal 4, Terminal 3, 24th Street Economy Parking, and the Rental Car Center. The T4-to-T3 leg takes about two minutes. If your whole group is on one bus meeting at one terminal, you won't need the Sky Train — you just exit at the curb.

If your group is split across terminals, or if some members parked at the Economy lots, the Sky Train covers the gap for free. Detailed route information is available in the PHX Sky Train Wikipedia article.

Does Partybusintucson.com serve the East Valley cities?

Yes — Partybusintucson.com connects groups from across the region to bus companies serving the full area, including Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, and San Tan Valley. Whether your group originates in Tucson, the East Valley, or anywhere in between, you can compare vehicles and pricing in the same place.
