Transportation in Phoenix

Posted on Mar 9, 2009 in Phoenix

We’ve received a few questions from folks flying in about transportation to and from the airport.  So far, every Bash event with a scheduled location is downtown – within 4-6 blocks of the Holiday Inn Express and Super8.  If there are any plans for off site events, we will do our best to organize transportation options.

Taxis & Shuttles
Estimated rates for a taxi from the airport to the hotels are about $20.  Please feel free to use the “Quick Notes” section of the website to organize shared rides.  According to the airport’s website, there are no fees for additional passengers or bags when taking a taxi.  If there are several people arriving around the same time, SuperShuttle offers a reserved van for $55 carrying up to 7 passengers.  They also offer a sedan service for up to 4 passengers for $40.
