How do I get around Show Low, and do I need a car?

A car is the easiest way to get around Show Low. The town is small but spread out, so driving gives you the most freedom to reach the lake, parks, and restaurants on your own schedule.

Uber and Lyft are available, but service varies, especially in the evenings and off-peak hours. Local taxis include Foxy Loxy Services & Taxi at (928) 940-2137 and Sunny Side Taxi at (928) 207-5372. There is no regular city bus system, though FlixBus offers occasional routes — check flixbus.com for current options.

Flying in? Show Low Regional Airport (SOW) is about 2 miles from town with limited flights, including Boutique Air from Phoenix. The closest major airport is Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX), about 170–180 miles southwest — roughly a 3–4 hour drive.
