Eagle County Regional, Vail Airport to Vail

 

Private car service from Eagle County Airport to Vail

Eagle County Regional Airport sits in Gypsum, about 35 miles west of Vail. The drive is a straight run east on I-70 through Eagle, Wolcott, Edwards, Avon and Minturn, and it takes roughly 35 to 40 minutes on clear roads. There is no mountain pass anywhere on this route, which is why it is the shortest and most weather resistant approach to Vail of any airport in Colorado.

Where we actually drop you in Vail

Vail Village and Lionshead are pedestrian villages, so the address on your booking is rarely the place a vehicle can stop. We drop at the Vail Village Welcome Center, at Solaris, at the Lionshead parking structure or directly at your hotel entrance where the property allows vehicle access. Tell us the lodge or the street address when you book and we will pick the closest legal stop and carry your bags to it rather than leaving you to work it out at the curb.

How pickup works at Eagle County Regional

EGE is small, which works in your favour. The whole Saturday ski wave lands inside a few hours and the curb gets tight, so we meet commercial arrivals inside at baggage claim with a name sign instead of circling outside. For private arrivals give us your tail number and your FBO when you book and we are in position before wheels down. We track the aircraft rather than the published schedule, so a late landing costs you nothing.

What every Vail transfer includes

  • Flight tracking against your flight number or tail number, with no charge for delays

  • A free half hour stop on the way, useful for groceries in Edwards or Avon before you check in

  • Bottled water, snacks and phone chargers in every vehicle

  • Child seats when you request them in advance

  • Room for skis, snowboards, boot bags and mountain bikes

  • All wheel drive and winter tires from first snow through spring

Summer and shoulder season

The Vail run is busy well beyond ski season. We carry guests in for the Vail Dance Festival, for weddings at the Vail Chapel and Donovan Pavilion, for GoPro Mountain Games weekends and for golf at the clubs down valley. Bike hauls to the top of Vail Pass and one way drops for hikers on the Gore Range trails are routine for us, so ask when you book.
