The train runs frequently throughout the day and is the fastest way to reach these facilities without driving.
For transportation beyond the airport, Terminal 4 has designated pickup areas for rideshare services, taxis, courtesy shuttles, and rental cars, plus easy access to public transit for travelers. Given Terminal 4's larger footprint, allow a little extra time to reach the correct curb, especially if you're unfamiliar with the terminal.
Passenger pick-up & drop-off at Sky Harbor Terminal 4
Terminal 4's pick-up and drop-off zones are split across two curbs on Level 1:
- North outer curb — far west end outside door #1
- South outer curb — east end outside door #6 or door #8, and west end outside door #2
After landing, follow signs for “Ground Transportation” and “Baggage Claim.” Once you have your bags, head to the marked curb outside for rideshare, taxi, or shuttle pick-up, or take the Sky Train if you're continuing to Sky Harbor Airport parking or the Rental Car Center.
If you're dropping off a departing passenger, the same curb zones apply. If your passenger has not yet arrived, avoid waiting along the curb. Instead, use one of the airport's free Cell Phone Waiting Lots until they are ready for pick-up.
