Here’s a question we received this week on our site, Scottsdale-Phoenix.net:

 

I am planning on flying to Phoenix in September and was hoping to locate a bus or train that goes to Sedona, near Phoenix airport. Please let me know the status of transportation from Phoenix to Sedona. I wasn’t planning on renting a car.

Thanks, Sue from California

Hi, Sue. We recommend the Sedona-Phoenix Shuttle. You can find a link to their website from this page on Sedona.net: Sedona Shuttles & Transportation

However, you may rethink not getting a rental car; once you arrive in Sedona, you’ll want to explore the town and it’s too large to do so on foot and taxi service would equal the cost of a rental car anyway. If you want to wait until you get to Sedona to rent a car, that’s a viable option and there are several companies to check into: Sedona Car Rental, Enterprise Rent-a-Car and several others. Check out our Directory page for more details: Sedona Car Rental Directory

FYI: There is no train that runs from Phoenix to Sedona. Folks interested in riding a train can, however, board an Amtrak line in Maricopa (train station MRC) to Flagstaff (train station FLG). Greyhound bus options are available to and from Phoenix, Flagstaff and Sedona to augment your trip.

Good luck and have a great trip!

We hope this helps anyone out there with the same question… enjoy Sedona!
