Denver to Vail Ski Resort

Black Diamond Cars provides private car and limo service to Vail Ski Resort from Denver International Airport and Eagle County Airport. Door-to-door, non-stop, in a heated AWD vehicle with your skis riding safely inside — no shared shuttle, no waiting for other passengers.

Vail is a genuinely one-of-a-kind destination: the largest ski mountain in Colorado, with views across the Gore and Sawatch ranges in every direction. Getting there should be the easy part of the trip, and that is our job.

Vail Car Service — FAQ

How long does it take to get from Denver Airport to Vail?

About 120 miles and 2 to 2.5 hours via I-70 West. In winter storms or peak weekend traffic allow an extra 30 to 60 minutes — your chauffeur monitors conditions and plans the pickup accordingly.

Is Eagle Airport closer than Denver?

Considerably. Eagle County Airport is about 35 miles from Vail Village — a 30 to 35 minute drive. Denver has far more flights and better fares, so it comes down to what suits your schedule.

Are your rates per person or per vehicle?

Per vehicle, one way. The quoted price covers the whole car regardless of how many of you are travelling, and includes taxes, airport fees and fuel surcharges. A 20% gratuity is added to all fares.

Can you carry skis and snowboards?

Always, at no extra charge, and always inside the vehicle rather than on an open roof rack. Our Sprinter vans carry up to 14 passengers with luggage and equipment.

What if my flight is delayed?

We track your flight in real time and adjust the pickup automatically — no extra charge for normal delays. If a flight is cancelled, call (970) 261-6509 and we will reschedule.

Do you provide rides around Vail during our stay?

Yes — dinner reservations, après-ski, shopping and resort-to-resort trips. See Vail local transportation.
