Since Phoenix is such a large city it can be difficult for travelers to find their way around. Luckily Sky Harbor is one of the airports that SuperShuttle and ExecuCar service. Before you leave for Phoenix it is a good idea to book your round-trip ride with either the shuttle or luxury car. The driver will be able to pick you up curb side and take you to your Phoenix destination.
