Getting around the Valley

Waymo's Metro Phoenix area keeps growing; its most recent expansion, announced August 13, 2026, added more of Chandler and San Tan Ranch (Waymo). Rides run 24 hours a day (Waymo Help), and Phoenix is one of the cities where the newer Ojai vehicle runs (Waymo FAQ).

Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX)

Sky Harbor is the easiest robotaxi airport in the country. Waymo picks up and drops off at Terminals 3 and 4 on the Level 1 outer curb at South Door 8, near arrivals, and also at the PHX Sky Train's 24th Street and 44th Street stations, about five minutes from the terminals (Waymo Help). The airport lists Waymo among its rideshare providers and says the terminal curb service runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week (Phoenix Sky Harbor). Full directions in the PHX guide.

Teens and accessibility

Teen accounts let riders 13 to 17 travel alone inside the Metro Phoenix area with an account linked to a parent or guardian, and bring up to three guests 13 or older (Waymo Help). See Waymo teen accounts. For a wheelchair-accessible vehicle, which is driven by a person, Waymo says to call Support from the Accessibility screen in the app (Waymo Help).

Ages: Waymo riders must be 18 to ride alone; younger riders travel with an adult, and children under 8 need a car or booster seat in the back (Waymo Rider Rules). Full details for every company are in the rider rules matrix.
