Are You Ready for a White-knuckled Rental Car Drive to the Mountains?

September 28, 2011 by Summit Express

summit fleetThis winter more than 12 million people are expected to take Colorado’s major highways up to more than 22 world renowned ski and ride resorts. However, anyone who’s ever driven to the resorts during ski season knows that it can be a headache and a hassle, the highways get congested and traffic can be stopped for hours, and in many instances getting to and from the resorts puts quite the damper on the entire ski vacation experience. However, for visitors from out of town, there are many options that will save them from stress and anxiety in addition to saving lots of money.

The Summit Express is an excellent option. The shuttle picks passengers up from Denver International Airport and shuttles them to Copper Mountain, Breckenridge Airport, Keystone, Frisco, Dillon and Silverthorne all season long. And of course they have shuttles back to the airport with frequent departure times daily. Skiers and riders who take the Summit Express will be able to kick back, relax and enjoy the stunning panoramic views as professional and seasoned drivers whisk them to some of the nation’s best mountains.

Another more luxurious option available to skiers and riders is to hire the Summit Express First Service. It’s a private chartered luxury SUV that is available to all locations in Colorado including Vail, Beaver Creek, Steamboat and Aspen. The spacious and comfortable SUVs have a DVD player and onboard movies to keep guests entertained throughout the ride. The car will also happily make any and all necessary stops along the way before reaching guest’s final destination, so it’s exceedingly convenient to pick up groceries, last minute items or rentals before heading to the mountain.

This winter alleviate the strain of planning and executing the perfect ski vacation and leave the driving to the professionals at Summit Express. Ski Coupons has got some great deals on their already low prices which will save skiers and riders even more money this season.

So kick back, relax, listen to some nice music and take in the snowy scenery as we climb high into the rockies. Let us do the driving. It’s only one click.

    I highly recommend Summit Express! Everything from the booking experience, flexibility, follow up and experience was AMAZING!! We used a private Summit Express Shuttle on the way to Breckenridge and back to the airport and had a great time. Both drivers, John and Paul were FANTASTIC! They loaded up our suitcases and food, provided water, made sure we were comfortable and were great drivers! They even provided us some fun facts on the way! We were able to connect our music to the shuttle and had a fun drive! They knew the traffic patterns, best bathroom stops and we also stopped for food. We even took the scenic route on the way back because people wanted to and it avoided traffic (and we got to stop for a little break and some pics)! Definitely book with Summit Express!!!

    These people provide the best service beyond anything I could imagine. The driver’s solid attitude gave the Summit Express a reason to be very proud. You could see this man’s unmistakable confidence, pride, and solid and even somewhat entertaining personable approach to doing his job. I really enjoyed the ride although it took hours. Thank you Summit. You cannot get better than this competent, confident, willing provider of the very best service. He was so good that I found myself thinking that his behavior and manner was so very much better than anyone doing his job need to be. This ride was the demonstration of the best kind of pride in one’s work and person I have lately seen in our America.
    The van was exceptional.

    We used Summit Express for our wedding shuttle and had a great experience. Planning with Stephen was easy. He was responsive and clear throughout the process. On the day of, our driver Cory was fantastic. He arrived right on time, the van was super clean, and everything ran smoothly. Highly recommend!

    This is a very accommodating company when traveling from Denver airport to Vail. With multiple calls to move our reservation back due to a flight delay to Denver and then back to our original reservation as we sailed through the airport with our luggage. They notified the driver that we landed in time to make the trip. We had two quick stops on the way to Vail. Dropped off at the Vail Transit Center. This was a very easy way to get from airport to Vail for a very reasonable price. I recommend Summit Express and will take them again if coming to this area of the country.

    Summit Express provides a reliable and high quality shuttle service. Transportation from Denver International Airport to my destination in Frisco, and the return, was easy affordable, and seamless. The drivers were professional, efficient, and friendly. I highly recommend Summit Express and their excellent service!
