Getting Around

Getting around the Phoenix Metro area has never been easier. For starters, our airport is within 20-30 miles of nearly everywhere you want to go, and with our smartly designed freeway system, the longest drive is generally around 15 minutes long.

Once you’re here, we want you to get around town conveniently, safely, and comfortably. Take the light rail which runs from Mesa in the east, through Tempe and the ASU area, into downtown Phoenix and north to central Phoenix. It’s easy to buy tickets at any light rail stop, and you can see a map here.

Renting a car from our rental car structure at the airport is fast and easy, but if calling a taxi or car is your fancy, our drivers are on-time, knowledgeable and friendly, which is something you’ll find a lot in Phoenix.
