Who serves riders here

WaymoWaymo app (iOS / Android). In Austin and Atlanta you hail it inside the Uber app instead.Waymo's own app, in its oldest and largest service area: Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler and the Sky Harbor curbs, around the clock. Teen accounts (ages 14 to 17) exist here and nowhere else so far.App Store ↗Google Play ↗waymo.com ↗The Waymo first-ride guide →

Also on the road, not hailable. Tesla has staged cars in Phoenix but has not launched service. Staged is not hailable.

The airport leg

PHX · Phoenix Sky Harbor · works todayTerminals 3 and 4, Level 1 outer curb, South Door 8. Or the Sky Train stations at 24th and 44th Street, with trains every 3-5 minutes. This is the one metro where the robotaxi does the airport leg properly.

Where the geofence ends

Valley-wide by robotaxi standards, and it still ends at the valley. The rim country does not appear in any operator's plans.

What a ride costs · shape, not quotes

Waymo ~$1.40-2.50/mi, typical ride ~$20, per mid-2026 reporting. All per reporting checked 2026-08-16, all change without notice, and none of these are ours to promise · the app quotes before you confirm.

Where a rental still wins

Sedona and Flagstaff days, anything up the rim, and summer middays when you want your own cold car waiting.

Statuses checked 2026-08-16 against the operators' own city lists. Robotaxi facts age faster than the rest of the site: geofences grow, airports change their rules, and a free pilot starts charging. The operator app is ground truth · treat this page as the map, not the territory.
