Vail Valley Private Car Service & Local Transportation

Black Diamond Cars provides private car service and local transportation throughout Vail Valley, CO — dinner reservations, après-ski, resort-to-resort days, corporate groups and nights out. A professional chauffeur on call, 24/7, without surge pricing.

Airport transfers are only part of what we do. Once you are here, the mountain roads at night, the parking in Vail Village and the shortage of rideshare drivers in a snowstorm are all reasons to have a car booked rather than hoped for.

Resort-to-Resort Transfers

Skiing a different mountain each day is one of the pleasures of staying in the valley, and it is far simpler with a driver than with a rental car and a parking pass.

Dinner, Après-Ski & Evenings Out

Vail's dining is worth building an evening around, and none of it improves with a designated driver watching the clock. We drop you at the door in Vail Village or Lionshead, and collect you when you are ready — birthday dinners, anniversaries, group outings, or simply a table in Edwards you would rather not drive home from.

Because the ride is booked in advance, there is no surge pricing on a Saturday night and no watching a rideshare app cancel on you at eleven in a snowstorm.

Corporate & Group Transportation

Conferences and retreats in the valley run on timing. We handle arrivals from both airports, shuttle runs between hotels and venues, evening restaurant groups and departures — with Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans for up to 14 and coordinated multi-vehicle movements for larger parties. Billing can be consolidated to one account, and NDAs are available for executive travel.

  • Rideshare coverage in the mountains thins out at night and in bad weather
  • Parking in Vail Village is limited and expensive in season
  • AWD vehicles with winter tires, driven by people who know the roads iced over
  • Your driver waits; you are not standing outside a restaurant in the cold

Vail Local Car Service — FAQ

Do you offer hourly or as-directed service?

Yes. A car and chauffeur can be reserved for an evening or a full day, with as many stops as you need on one booking — useful for shopping, meetings or a night with several venues.

How late do you run?

24/7, year-round. Late pickups after dinner or events are routine — call (970) 261-6509 and we will confirm a time.

How is this different from a rideshare?

Your vehicle is reserved and the price is fixed in advance. Rideshare coverage in the mountains is thin at night and in storms, and surge pricing on a Saturday evening in season can be considerable.

Can you take us between Vail and Beaver Creek each day?

Yes — about fifteen minutes each way, with ski gear carried inside. Morning drops at the lifts and afternoon pickups can be scheduled for the whole trip at once.

Do you handle corporate groups and conferences?

Regularly. Sprinter vans up to 14 passengers, multi-vehicle coordination for larger groups, consolidated billing and NDAs for executive travel.

Can you get into gated communities?

Yes — Beaver Creek, Bachelor Gulch, Cordillera and Arrowhead all require authorisation, and we arrange it in advance with your address.
