Getting from Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX)
PHX is the main commercial gateway for the resort. After collecting luggage, options include rental car, rideshare (Uber/Lyft), taxi, or private car service.
The resort lists Phoenix Sky Harbor as roughly a 16–20 minute drive; actual time depends on traffic. If you need an on-site rental car, the property hosts a Hertz rental desk.
- Rental car: available at PHX and a Hertz desk is on-site at the resort (book in advance if you need a specific vehicle).
- Rideshare/taxi: direct drop-off at the resort entrance — a convenient door-to-door option.
- Private transfer/limousine: arrange ahead with a ground-transport company if preferred.
| Option | When to use it |
|---|---|
| Rental car | If you plan to explore the region (Grand Canyon, Sedona, local golf, hiking) |
| Rideshare / Taxi | If you prefer no parking/valet handling and a quick transfer |
| Private transfer | For groups, special schedules, or guaranteed meet-and-greet service |
Arriving via Scottsdale Municipal Airport (SCF)
SCF is a smaller general-aviation airport used for private charters and some corporate flights. It’s closer to the resort than PHX and can save time for private arrivals.
Ground transport options from SCF are the same: rental car, taxi, rideshare, or pre-arranged car service. Notify your driver of the resort address for direct drop-off.
- SCF is suited to private/charter flights — coordinate timing with ground transport ahead of arrival.
- Rideshare availability can be more limited at smaller airports; scheduling a taxi or private car in advance is recommended.
- Use the resort address (6114 N Scottsdale Road) for GPS and driver instructions.
| Typical passenger | Recommended transfer |
|---|---|
| Private-charter passenger | Private car or hotel-arranged transfer |
| Small group | Taxi or pre-booked shuttle/van |
| One or two travelers | Rideshare or rental car |
Hotel shuttle, taxis and rideshares
Andaz Scottsdale provides a complimentary local courtesy shuttle within a limited radius for short trips (for example, Old Town Scottsdale). Shuttle service is not documented as covering airport transfers, so confirm availability with the front desk before relying on it for airports.
Taxis and rideshare services are simple and commonly used between PHX/SCF and the resort. Expect door-to-door service and direct drop-off at the resort entrance.
- Confirm shuttle routes and hours with the front desk; phone support is available via the BookResorts agent line (+1 (888) 605-1350).
- Rideshare pickup at PHX follows airport curbside pickup rules — open the app to see the designated rideshare zone.
- Taxis are available at both airports and can be booked at counters or by phone.
| Service | Good for |

| Hotel courtesy shuttle | Short nearby trips (Old Town Scottsdale, local malls) — check availability |

Tips for a smooth arrival
If you have special arrival needs (late-night check-in, group luggage, or arranging spa access soon after arrival), call the hotel in advance or use the BookResorts 24/7 phone number for agent assistance.
Plan transfers during non-peak traffic when possible — Phoenix-area drive times can increase during morning and evening rush hours.
- Provide your expected arrival time to the resort so they can prepare porter or parking assistance.
- If you need a rental car, book in advance. The resort lists a Hertz rental desk on-site.
- For early spa bookings, remember Palo Verde Spa & Apothecary hours and its 18+ age policy — confirm spa arrival procedures when reserving treatments.
| Situation | Suggested action |
|---|---|
| Traveling with children | Turquoise Pool is family-friendly; confirm stroller/child-seat needs with your car service |
| Arriving late evening | Inform the front desk to ensure express check-in or porter assistance |
| Needing ADA or special assistance | Call ahead so the resort can prepare accessible drop-off and room amenities |
Nearby destinations and why a car can help
Old Town Scottsdale, Scottsdale Fashion Square, and several museums are a short drive from the resort; having a car makes it easier to visit multiple sights in a day. The resort’s courtesy shuttle covers a limited local radius but won’t replace a vehicle for longer day trips.
If you plan excursions outside the metro area (Grand Canyon, Sedona, or guided jeep or hot-air-balloon trips), a rental car or pre-arranged transfer simplifies logistics.
- Old Town Scottsdale and Scottsdale Fashion Square: short drive — shuttle may serve some nearby points but check schedule.
- Outdoor trips (Camelback Mountain, Desert Botanical Garden): having a car gives flexibility for trailheads and later returns.
- Long day trips (Grand Canyon, Sedona) typically need a full day and are easier with a car or a guided excursion that includes transport.
| Nearby spot | Approx. travel from resort |
|---|---|
| Scottsdale Fashion Square | About 3–5 minutes by car |
| Old Town Scottsdale | Roughly a 10-minute drive |
| McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park | Under 5 minutes by car |
