Sedona Shuttle Services – Airport, Trailheads & More
Shuttle services can get you from Phoenix Sky Harbor to Sedona without renting a car. While shuttle transportation may cost more than renting a vehicle when traveling as a group, it offers a stress-free ride, especially helpful when navigating Sedona’s often congested roads and limited parking at popular trailheads.

- Round-Trip Estimate: Approximately $108 roundtrip

What to Expect When You Arrive in Sedona
If you're taking a shuttle to Sedona from Phoenix, plan ahead for how you’ll get around town once you arrive. Sedona is not pedestrian-friendly beyond certain walkable pockets, and attractions are spread out across the area. Here are a few tips:
- Rideshares: Both Uber and Lyft operate in Sedona, though availability may vary based on time and location.
- Taxis: Must be scheduled in advance; they are not widely available for street hailing.
- Tours with Hotel Pick-Up: Many guided tours (Jeep, hiking, vortex, wine tasting, etc.) offer complimentary hotel pick-up and drop-off.
- Sedona Trolley: A fun way to explore Uptown Sedona and nearby areas, ideal for a scenic and low-effort sightseeing option.
Sedona Trailhead Shuttle
If you're visiting specifically to hike and explore Sedona’s famous red rock trails, the Sedona Trailhead Shuttle is a free, eco-friendly option. Shuttle Details:
- Cost: FREE to park and ride. No Red Rock Pass required.
- Pets: Only service animals are allowed per ADA definitions.
- Bike-Friendly: Bike racks can hold up to 3 bikes, first-come, first-serve. Additional bikes may be allowed inside if space permits.
Please go to the Sedona Shuttle official website for detailed maps, schedules, and rules.
