Charter Bus from Los Angeles to Phoenix
The Los Angeles to Phoenix route crosses 370 miles of dramatic desert landscape along I-10. The 5.5-hour drive is popular with groups heading to spring training baseball games in the Cactus League, corporate events in Scottsdale, and snowbird communities moving between the two Sun Belt metros. A charter bus eliminates the fatigue of a long desert drive and keeps your group together.
