Eagle Airport to Vail: Complete Ground Transportation Guide
Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE) is just 35 miles from Vail — the shortest airport-to-resort drive in Colorado ski country. Here is everything you need to know about getting from EGE to your Vail accommodation.
Private Car Service (Recommended)
A private car meets you at EGE baggage claim and drives directly to your Vail hotel or rental — door-to-door in about 30 minutes. Includes flight tracking, luggage handling, ski gear transport, and Wi-Fi. Eagle Airport car service details and rates.
Shared Shuttle
Companies like Epic Mountain Express offer shared vans from EGE to Vail for $40-60 per person. They typically wait to fill the van and may stop at multiple lodging properties. Total time: 45-75 minutes.
Rental Car
EGE has limited rental car counters (Avis, Hertz, National). Availability can be tight during ski season — book well in advance. Vail parking is expensive ($30-50/day) and limited. For short trips, a private car service often costs less.
Taxi / Rideshare
Local taxis are available but limited at EGE. Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) coverage in Eagle is inconsistent, especially during off-peak hours. Not recommended as a primary plan.
