The Drive from Phoenix to Sedona
Sedona is approximately 120 miles from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), with most trips taking around two hours depending on traffic and weather. The route follows Interstate 17 through the Sonoran Desert before climbing into Arizona’s high desert, where dramatic red rock scenery begins to replace the Valley landscape.
Weekend traffic, holiday travel, and busy spring and fall tourism seasons can increase drive times, particularly approaching Sedona along State Route 179. For many visitors, choosing private transportation means they can relax, enjoy the scenery, and arrive ready to explore rather than spending two hours behind the wheel after a flight.
GO Airport Shuttle offers private cars, SUVs, and vans for couples, families, and small groups traveling between Phoenix Sky Harbor and Sedona. Whether you’re staying near Uptown Sedona, Oak Creek Village, or one of the area’s destination resorts, transportation can be arranged before your trip begins.
