The Denver to Vail drive is about 120 miles and takes roughly 2 hours in good conditions. But winter storms, summer construction, and heavy I‑70 traffic can easily add delays. That’s why our Denver to Vail shuttle service is the easiest, safest way to get from Denver International Airport (DIA) to Vail — without the stress of driving yourself.

Once you’re in Vail, the village is walkable and has free local buses. Whether you’re heading from Vail to Denver or starting your Denver to Vail trip, our professional drivers make the journey smooth in every season.

Why a Shuttle is Better Than Driving

Winter conditions

I‑70 closures for avalanche control, icy roads, and low visibility are common. Our drivers are trained for snow and steep grades, with vehicles fully equipped for winter travel

Summer conditions

Holiday traffic, mountain‑road novices, and semi‑truck congestion are frequent, plus large construction projects like Floyd Hill and Vail Pass can cause lane closures.

Rental car drawbacks

High peak‑season prices
Limited availability at DIA
Costly parking in Vail Valley
Gas, tolls, and ticket risks
Many areas of Vail Village are car‑free
Some winter rentals lack proper tires

With our Denver Vail shuttle, you avoid all of this and arrive ready to enjoy the mountains.
