Multi-resort itineraries sometimes connect Aspen with Vail for a ski week, wedding weekend, or corporate program. Our team at Aspen Limo Services operates the Aspen to Vail car service, with room for passengers, luggage, and ski equipment. A chauffeur covers the mountain drive from the first mile to the last, in a private vehicle for the group alone.
The road between Aspen and Vail changes with the seasons, so here is what each option looks like.
This is the transfer we run for most bookings throughout the year:
If the canyon closes, CDOT’s detour runs north on CO-9, west on US-40, then south on CO-13 back to I-70 near Rifle. It adds around two and a half hours. CDOT discourages Cottonwood Pass Road, Hagerman Pass, and similar county or forest roads as substitutes. These roads are not suitable for heavy detour traffic and may have limited cell coverage.
When the high pass is open, guests can choose a scenic option instead:
Independence Pass is a more technical mountain drive than the standard way. We treat it as a scenic seasonal option, not the default connection.
Booking this transfer usually comes down to one of a few real situations, once the choice between Aspen and Vail turns into both instead of either:
Summer events such as Bravo! Vail and the GoPro Mountain Games can increase lodging demand and traffic around Vail. Their dates change annually, so checking the current calendar helps when scheduling a meeting.
After years on this drive, three vehicles cover nearly every group:
A single guest or a couple moving light between the two towns typically books the Premium Sedan. The sedan covers the mountain drive with just enough room for two and their bags.
Families relocating between the two towns for several days tend to choose the Sprinter. Boots, boards, and bags for the whole visit fit with room to spare.
Any group too large for two vehicles moves together in the Motor Coach instead. A ski team, a big birthday celebration, or a multi-generation family all fit as one unit.
The same reservation can include car service from Vail to Aspen. Share both addresses, meeting times, passenger count, and luggage or ski equipment details when booking the reservation, so the reservation covers the complete itinerary.
Call or text +1 (970) 319-6558 or email info@aspenlimoservices.com with the starting address, destination, group size, and luggage details. Our experts at Aspen Limo Services confirm the vehicle and meeting point ahead of the drive.
Same-day requests are sometimes possible, though weekends, holidays, and ski season fill fast. Booking a few days in advance gives more flexibility with vehicle type and drop-off time.
Yes, we can add a stop with advance notice, whether for a meal, a break, or another errand along the way. Extra stops may affect the total trip time.
Yes. Every vehicle in the fleet has room set aside for ski bags, boots, and personal bags. Larger parties can move up to a bigger option when gear adds up.
