Vail Valley Jet Center Private Ground Transportation

Black Diamond Cars provides private ground transportation from the Vail Valley Jet Center — jet-to-door service anywhere in the valley. Your chauffeur is on the ramp before you land, handles luggage straight from the aircraft, and drives you to your address in a heated AWD SUV.

No terminal, no queue, no waiting for a car to be dispatched. For most arrivals you are moving within minutes of the engines shutting down.

A note on names. The Vail Valley Jet Center is the fixed-base operator (FBO) serving private aviation at Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE) — the same field as the commercial terminal, but a separate building and a separate ramp. Private arrivals come through the Jet Center; scheduled flights come through the main terminal. We meet you at either.

Vehicles

A jet arrival sets a tone, and the vehicle waiting on the ramp is part of it. We run the Cadillac Escalade ESV and the GMC Yukon XL Denali for up to six or seven passengers with luggage, and the Mercedes-Benz Executive Sprinter Van for parties of 7 to 14 — or for two passengers travelling with a great deal of equipment. Multiple vehicles can be staged together for larger groups arriving on one aircraft or several. Full specifications on the fleet page.

Discretion as Standard

Our chauffeurs work regularly alongside flight crews, security details and family offices. They are background-checked, professionally trained and used to the rhythm of private aviation — arriving early, waiting quietly, saying little. Non-disclosure agreements are available on request, and vehicles can be held on standby for the duration of your stay in the valley rather than booked trip by trip.

Private Jet Ground Transportation — FAQ

Is the Vail Valley Jet Center the same as Eagle Airport?

Same airfield, different building. The Jet Center is the FBO handling private aviation at Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE); scheduled commercial flights use the main terminal. We meet arrivals at either.

Do you meet us at the aircraft?

Yes. With your tail number and ETA we arrange ramp access through the Jet Center and position the vehicle before you land, so luggage goes straight from the aircraft to the car.

What is the $25 charge on the quote?

It is the ramp access fee for private jet transfers, added once per transfer. Everything else — taxes, airport fees and fuel surcharges — is already included in the quoted rate.

What if our arrival time changes?

We track the flight and adjust, with no waiting charges for delays. If the aircraft diverts to Denver or elsewhere, call (970) 261-6509 and we will reposition to meet you.

Can you hold a vehicle on standby during our stay?

Yes — a car and chauffeur can be reserved for a day, an evening or the length of your visit, rather than booking each movement separately.

Is a non-disclosure agreement available?

Yes, and it can be signed before your arrival. Discretion is standard for all private aviation clients regardless.
