    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.

    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.

    Vans are clean and pick up is on time! Big plus, I didn’t have to drive in I70 traffic. What more can you ask for.

    They verified my flight time and flight number to make sure I would have adequate time to catch flight after making reservation and before departure. The small details made for a stress free trip even with small delays due to traffic.

    I was recommended to try summit express after patronizing other Denver airport shuttle service and glad that I did. Drivers were safe and defensive. Overall the ride was comfortable.
