Many visitors don’t.

If you’re staying in resort towns like Breckenridge, Keystone, Copper Mountain, Vail, or Beaver Creek, you can often walk or use local transportation once you arrive.

Guests who book airport transportation often skip the rental car and avoid:

• Mountain driving stress
  
• Parking fees
  
• Traffic on I-70
  
• Navigating unfamiliar roads
  

If you plan to explore multiple towns daily or stay outside town centers, a car may make sense. It depends on your itinerary.

Mountain travel can be very different from city driving.

You may encounter:

• Steep grades
  
• Sudden weather changes

• Traction or chain restrictions
  

Many travelers prefer experienced professional drivers who are familiar with mountain conditions year-round.
