Beginning Your Journey

Your private transfer begins the moment you meet your driver at Denver International Airport (DEN). From there, your journey to Steamboat Springs covers approximately 156 miles and typically takes around three hours in clear conditions. The primary route follows I-70 West from the airport, a major artery into the mountains. You’ll pass through the historic Eisenhower-Johnson Memorial Tunnels before taking Exit 232 onto US-40 West.

Scenic Mountain Passes

This second leg of the trip on US-40 is where the scenery really opens up. The highway climbs over the Continental Divide at Berthoud Pass and later crosses Rabbit Ears Pass, known for its distinctive rock formation and stunning winter landscapes. This part of the drive requires experienced navigation, especially during snowfall. Our professional drivers are experts on this route, ensuring a safe and efficient trip so you can relax and enjoy the view.

We offer generous luggage storage. When booking your private car, please specify the number of bags as well as any ski or snowboard bags you’ll be bringing. This ensures we assign a vehicle with adequate space. There is typically no extra charge for standard ski/snowboard equipment, but it must be declared at booking.
