Arrivals — baggage claim meetup
TUS has a single terminal with two concourses (A and B). Your chauffeur waits at baggage claim level with a name sign — look for your name as you exit security. Flight tracking is included, so your driver adjusts automatically for early or late arrivals. Complimentary wait: 60 minutes domestic.
Departures — curbside pickup
For departures, your chauffeur picks up at the departures level, upper roadway. For early-morning flights (before 5 AM), book 48 hours in advance to guarantee availability. During Gem Show week (February), we recommend 72 hours advance notice — demand is extremely high citywide.
Every vehicle in the Tucson fleet is company-owned, air-conditioned to combat Sonoran Desert heat, and equipped with leather interior, climate control, phone chargers, and complimentary bottled water. Detailed Drivers does not use driver-owned vehicles.
