Yes. The Moab–Arches Shuttle is free, but every passenger must be covered by a valid national park entrance pass before boarding. Shuttle drivers check passes before departure.
How Much Does a Park Pass Cost?
- $30 Vehicle Entrance Pass: Covers everyone traveling together as one vehicle group.
- Annual or Lifetime National Park Pass: Covers eligible visitors traveling together under one pass.
If you already have a valid pass, you do not need to purchase another.
Where Can I Buy a Pass?
- Online: Visit the National Park Service Fees & Passes page.
- In Moab: Purchase a pass at the Moab Information Center, 25 E. Center Street, which is also a shuttle pickup location.
Purchase your pass before boarding.
Do I Need a Shuttle Reservation?
No. Neither timed-entry reservations nor advance shuttle bookings are required in 2026. However, seating is limited, and if a shuttle is full, you’ll need to wait for the next departure.
Is There Any Additional Shuttle Fee?
No. Once you have the required park pass, the shuttle is completely free.
The 2026 shuttle season ends October 31, with service expected to resume in spring 2027. Check current schedules before visiting.
