Is it Worth it to Rent a Car from Denver?

Home » Local Colorado News » Is it Worth it to Rent a Car from Denver?

December 24, 2019 by Lora B

No, it’s usually not. Here’s why:

Successful airport transportation should have:

Value

  • It’s cheaper to ride our shuttle than fill your gas tank, equip your car with the right winter tires/chains, & pay for parking or a hotel
  • Parking is a scarce commodity in Breckenridge & costly! Skip the overnight parking fees for a car that you simply don’t need.
  • Curbside pick up at baggage claim – no shuttle to ride to the rental counter to then wait in line to get your car for another 30-60 minutes!
  • Don’t stress missing your flight with rental return delays or stopping to refuel
  • Reduce I-70 congestion & our carbon footprint!

Safety

  • Our safety record is exceptional!  Our drivers are trained to understand I-70’s many challenges, (ie. snow storms, chain laws, steep grade driving, reacting to dangerous drivers, etc…).
  • All our vehicles are equipped with the BEST Nokian Winter Snow Tires & rear dual tires
  • A rental car is NOT equipped for mountain driving conditions. Most are not AWD or 4X4, nor do they come with the correct snow tires, chains or even an ice scraper!

Convenience

  • We have 15 pickups every day all winter in the mountains and at the Denver Airport.
  • Everyone finds I-70 to be stressful, let us drive. It’s your vacation, you should… relax.
  • There’s free transportation everywhere in Summit County!!!
    • Keystone & Copper Mountain both have free In-Resort Shuttle Systems
    • Breck Free Ride takes you around the entire town & resort
    • Summit Stage – free bus around all of Summit County!

Guest Reviews

Absolutely loved working with Summit Express! Could not have been better. We were shuttled from DIA to Breckenridge various times over two months, using 28 shuttles in total. Not once did Summit Express make a mistake, every transfer was perfect. Always on time!

We loved their friendly customer service. They were flexible when we had to change our schedule multiple times at the last minute, courteous to our needs, and they really cared about making us content with what we were buying. They are all about their customers and I could not think of a better company to use.
