Meter starts at the airport curb with Crazy 8 Car Co
Crazy 8 Car Co runs as a local taxi option from Yuma International Airport / MCAS Yuma (YUM), picking up right outside Terminal 1’s arrivals doors. You call or book ahead; there’s no official airport taxi stand with a dispatcher. Figure on a 10–15 minute ride into downtown Yuma from YUM in normal traffic.
This is a standard taxi service, not a flat-rate shuttle, so fares depend on distance and time. A typical one-way ride from YUM to central Yuma usually prices in the same ballpark as local metered cabs running a similar 5–7 mile route. Drivers accept at least cash, and many independent Yuma cabs now run basic card readers; confirm payment options when you call Crazy 8 Car Co before pickup.
Pickup works like any small-field airport: once you land at YUM and exit baggage claim at Terminal 1, the driver pulls into the curb lane in front of the terminal within a few minutes of your call. If your plane is delayed 30–60 minutes, call Crazy 8 Car Co from the aircraft door or while still at gate 1 to avoid making them wait on the outer curb.
At this field, ground transport choice matters because most hotels sit 2–6 miles from YUM along E 32nd St and S 4th Ave. Crazy 8 Car Co fits best for direct point-to-point trips: hotel to base gate, base to airport, or airport to downtown. For anything over 20–25 minutes out of town, ask for a fare estimate before you shut the trunk.
Late arrivals into YUM after 22:00 can be hit-or-miss for on-demand rides, so call Crazy 8 Car Co as soon as your flight number shows “on approach” on the board in Terminal 1. Last tip: confirm your exact pickup door (baggage claim vs main exit) by number with the driver so you’re not watching each other circle the small loop for 5–10 extra minutes.
