Booked my Vail trip. Would you recommend renting a car or using a car service to get from the Denver airport? Two people one set of skis. Any restaurant recommendations? Any thoughts on the Grand Hyatt? Thanks y’all!

We went to Vail in 2020 and when we booked our ski pass through epic I was able to add on an airport shuttle. Very simple and easy to use.

Arrival/departure times make a bit of a difference on the final answer. In general, I recommend car service as it’s safer, cheaper and you ultimately don’t need a car once you’re in Vail. If you do rent a car, I recommend an AWD at a minimum to handle potential weather issues and whatever you do, don’t camp in the left lane or we will scream at you.

Hi, I live in Denver. Highly recommend renting a car. Car services to take you out there are so over priced. You’ll prefer your own car!

Round trip shuttle is around $200 a person. Car rental is $100/day+gas. Pricing is not that different. As someone who also lives in Denver, less renters on i70 is preferred.

Car rental if you want to check out another mountain or go out to dinner away from the village. Go AWD if you can but at least FWD if none available.

FWD compared to what, though? Not coming at you; what did they try to give you that was RWD only?

At the end of the day if you have FWD in a rental (so no snow tires) and the traction law is in effect, you cannot drive on I70.

I would do whatever’s cheaper and/or works best with your flight times. People have recommended the Summit Express shuttle service to me previously if you’re looking for shuttle recommendations. I rented a car both times I went during the winter because I just didn’t want to have to deal with the shuttle schedule.

One of the times it was snowing rather heavily (not a forecasted storm) as we drove up into the mountains-if you’re at all wary about driving in snowy conditions then do the shuttle. Definitely get AWD. I told the rental car place when I picked up the car each time that I was going into the mountains and they made sure to give me an suv with decent AWD.

Is Uber an option?

Uber is actually showing up as cheaper. Terrible idea?!
