How do we determine your pickup time?

Our system initially creates a default pickup time for your shuttle. The night before, our dispatch team finalizes your pickup time based on the most efficient route for all of our guests. Our team considers your location, destination, and flight information, including arrival/departure time in order to book you on one of our shuttles. We carefully plan your recommended shuttle time, so you are easily able to make it from your flight onto one of our shuttles! Please note that the actual pickup time could fluctuate by 45 minutes from the original estimate based on the locations of our other guests. Additionally, if a guest chooses a pickup time that is not recommended by a Peak 1 Express transportation specialist, he/she increases the risk of missing flights or shuttle connections, and Peak 1 Express is not responsible.

Where do I meet my driver at Denver Airport?

When you arrive at DEN, you will need to take the airport train to the main terminal (Jeppesen Terminal). Go ahead and collect your baggage, then head to the East Side of Jeppesen Terminal and head out of door #513. Head to the Mountain Carriers pick-up location on Island #2.

How early in the morning will you pick me up for my flight?

Our schedules vary throughout the year, but we always offer a wide variety of time and trip options to accommodate all of our guests’ flight times. Depending on where you need to be picked up, your driver may arrive 45 minutes before the scheduled departure to accommodate all passengers. If you have an early-morning flight and need to depart before 5am, we recommend our charter shuttle services.

How late in the evening will you pick me up from the airport?

Our last scheduled mountain shuttle pick-up from Denver varies throughout the year, yet we pride ourselves on offering the most trip options of any mountain shuttle service to accommodate your flight time. Check out our mountain shuttle schedules for times and trip options. If you need a later option than what we offer, check out our charter shuttle services, where you can customize your transportation.

Can we make a stop on our way up to the mountains (eg. to pick up ski rentals)?

As a courtesy to the other guests on board, our regularly scheduled mountain shuttles will not stop en route, other than at our guests’ lodging. If you would like to stop, we recommend our private charter service, where your driver will be happy to accommodate your requests.

What if my flight is delayed/ canceled?

If your flight is delayed, we will do our best to get you on the first shuttle after you land. If your flight arrives after our last mountain shuttle of the day, we will book you on the first shuttle the next morning. If your flight is canceled…oh no! Best to give us a call.

What if my flight gets in earlier than expected?

If your flight arrives earlier than expected you are welcome to try to get on an earlier shuttle. To check the availability of an earlier shuttle, contact a Peak 1 Express sales agent at (855) 467-3251.
