Summit Express

OUTSTANDING! Patrick and I think Ted (from IN) were excellent!!! We had to make some changes to our plans and the folks on the phone were great! With a full vehicle, multiple stops and questionable weather the drivers kept us informed and safe.

Summit Express was a great experience. My driver was Erwin and he was terrific — periodically asked about the car’s temperature, offered water (bottle), and engaged in conversation. Summit Express was on time and I felt safe in the hands of Erwin’s driving.

I see some mixed reviews. All I can say is my travel to and from Frisco were without a hitch and a fantastic experience.
The texting of confirmation the day before for pick up was fantastic. Also, the onboard Wi-​Fi was a great touch!
I will say this, the departure from the Denver airport was a little hectic and the one fella seemed not to really fully know who was going on what van. So that is a concern. I made real sure that my gear was going where I was going.
Pick up out of Frisco coming back to Denver airport was spot on. Timing and the driver and everything about the day was perfect, he did a great job!
When I come back to Denver and need transportation again I would not hesitate using this outfit. Good job!
I would’ve made my review five stars except for the hectic and confusing connection at Denver and not knowing who was going where.

Best transportation from Denver. WAYYYYY better than Colorado Mtn Express — cheaper, more responsive (very friendly staff), and better vehicles. Also they split the group into smaller SUVs when in the mountain area so you don’t have to make so many lodging stops.

Called summit more than 24 hours in advance and was assured that My trip would be cancelled. Summit then called to confirm the reservation that I had cancelled. I assured them I had cancelled. They called me a liar and refused to accept my explanation. I think this company wants to con people out of their money by not giving full refunds even if you cancel before the 24 hour deadline. Very rude on the phone. Not a good choice for transportation.

We frequent the ski slopes west of Denver annually and have come to use Summit Express as our grand transportation of choice. It started when they were a smaller company competing with MTA, but now they’ve grown to much more luxurious vans and regular service.
We stay in the ski resort (Copper Mtn) so having a car there is of no use. This makes using Summit Express much more ideal. The cost for round trip to DIA will be about $ 125 — $ 150 each person for a shared van, but this is less than half a rental vehicle (assuming you get an SUV) for two and near the same cost for a family of four. And, you don’t have to drive, mess with snow chains, worry about gasoline, parking where you are going, etc. So don’t be afraid of the sticker shock.
When you book with them, you select the pick up times convenient for your flights (rides every hour or so). And by my experience, they’re always a bit early. The drivers are very friendly, take care of your bags, and are glad to give you any local information you need. Tipping is expected.
Depending on the destination of those in your van, they may take you straight to the resort or they may drop you off at a transfer station in Frisco where another, usually smaller vehicle takes you to your resort. They wait for you as you check in, then drive you as close as possible to your condo or suite.
The vans themselves are now top of the line (see photos). Private seats (except maybe the back bench) with ample legroom. They have WiFi and Summit Express provides water. You typically do not stop on the approximately 1:45 — 2:00 drive to the various resorts, but can if you ask. The vans are usually full, although you can pay more for a private shuttle.
Customer service in arranging the transportation is easy. The associates on the phone get you exactly what you need, and they will call you the day before to confirm, then call you once they arrive (if you’re not at the waiting area). They describe very precisely where to wait and what to expect.

I called for a cab and the operator politely said it’d be 20 minute for the driver to arrive. 40 minutes later I called to cancel, but was told the driver was 5 mins away. By this point my brother got fed up and requested an Über. When the taxi driver called I cancelled with him, and he proceeded to shame me for having him drive in «whiteout conditions» from Breck. He then WAITED for us in the driveway to «wish us luck» with the Über driver!
Don’t take twice as long to pick us up and expect the customer to be happy. More importantly, don’t bitch out the customer for driving in the snow ON A MOUNTAIN. Occupational hazard. At least the operators had good customer service.

Absolutely the worst customer service. Call the guy that answers the phone and see how he talks to you.

Six of us booked a private shuttle to/​from DIA/​Breckenridge. Jason was a wonderful driver, prompt, friendly, with good local information. The shuttle was clean and comfortable, and it was so nice to sit back and let someone else do the driving.

Over 40 minutes late to collect us and in the end we had to cancel our transfer and organise a friend to drive us to DIA as we would have missed our flight.
A courtesy call to say they were running late and ETA would have gone a long way. Each time we called we were told the driver would arrive in another 10 mins. Would not use in future or recommend.

Cheaper than renting a car & you don’t have to drive. Frank was VERY friendly, knowledgeable and a safe driver. The shuttle van was clean and included water and snacks. Definitely be using their services again. Oh, check out the rental car company reviews if you’re on the fence of rental car vs shuttle. This was my first shuttle and it was sooooo convenient and easy.

Great transfer company from Denver up to the resorts and back! It’s locally owned too. Very knowledgable drivers and super efficient. There guys know all of the secret routes and landmarks. I actually learned a ton about Colorado and the area from our driver. His name was Matt. I traveled during the holidays of 2015 – 2016 which would have been super stressful and they made it amazing. I had email confirmations… etc! I highly recommend them! Thanks Summit!!!

From now on, these guys are my new shuttle service when travel around Colorado. We had a mishap with our luggage while on our way to Breckenridge. When we realized it, United Airlines called me and explained to me that I had to go back to the airport. Scott, from Summit immediately asked me if he could speck to the rep.
Long story short, Scott tried to explain to the rep that they can go back to the airport and pick up our luggage… they’ve done it before for customers in the past. Unfortunately, United couldn’t give us a straight answer, so my friend and I had to make the 2 hour drive back to Denver.
Either way, Summit and Scott were amazing. They gave us a great rate to go back to the airport and back to Breckenridge.
Go with Summit if you plan to make trips around Colorado. I highly recommend them.

This is the best value, safest, and nicest airport shuttle experience. Matt was a kind and courteous driver and did an excellent job. He was very knowledgable about the area. The free water and wifi is also a plus!

Took the shuttle from Breck to Denver airport. We had Matt as a driver. He was very friendly and informative. I have many questions about life in Colorado and he answered so many. He was also early for picking me up and flexible. I was at the Breckenridge station which was not where my scheduled pick up was, but he drove over to get me no questions asked. I would defiantly use this service again. It was quick, easy, and not too expensive.

A few days ago, as I was packing for the bicycle tour of Colorado, I realized that my usual go to ride (my sister) would not be available to help me get to Breckenridge. I quickly googled shuttles to Breckenridge and chose one at random. I think it’s called a serendipitous event when a fortunate random ever works out in your favor. That’s what summit express was for me. From the moment I landed at Denver with my bike, I was rushing and didn’t get a chance to get any food or water for the road. Our driver, Mike McManus, had it all covered. It only did he stock the van with waters for everyone, he provided snacks for people and also had a hot spot available which made it easier for me to get some important emails out at the last minute.
Along the drive, Mike shared some great history and insights of the things we were seeing along the highway. Things I’ve seen hundreds of times going skiing but never bothered to really «notice them» until now.
A great conversation and a great worry free ride. I would highly suggest summit express for any of your shuttle needs to Breckenridge or any of the ski areas in Colorado.

Used their service during my vacation from/​to DIA-​cooper mountain. Everything was smooth as I expected!!! Very professional, safe driving, always on time, courtesy reminder call, amazing customer service, and friendly drivers!!! Loved every minute of my rides!!! I remember Frank, my driver from copper mountain to DIA, awesome driver! I am definitely recommending this to everyone and going to use this again when I go back to CO for ski vacation. Thank you! :-)

Nothing negative to report. Gail was the driver. Would highly recommend this shuttle. Very comfortable. Good resource, too! Thanks.

Excellent service to Breckenridge. When we got to Frisco they split the group so that we didn’t have to waist time dropping people off in Keystone!

Ride from Airport to Breck with Mike. Great. Large van, music, snack/​water and wifi provided. I give Mike a solid 5 stars. Super safe driver.
Ride home from Breck to Denver. I give 1 star. My pickup time was 0615. No call/​no show until 0653 in a dinky little van. This was the van that was supposed to take me to another van, a pickup I guess. I was then transported to another dinky little van. Why do I care about this. I had a huge ski bad (two skis) and clothes also inside the bag. This dinky little van had an outside luggage rack. No way. I don’t have locks on the bag, the roads are crap, its raining and my clothes and stuff inside would have been ruined. The first van could barely fit my skis. Thank goodness I was only 1 of 2 passengers. The second van didn’t have a chance. Luckily it appeared nobody else has skis. I refused to put my bag outside in the rain so unfortunately everyone suffered as my bag was stuffed inside next to the door. I am sorry for causing an inconvenience to all the other passengers but this was not the transport described to me when I booked.
I called Summit before I left and asked what kind of ski storage their vans had. Mike who picked me up had what was described. A really tall/​inside van storage. This is what I was expecting to pick me up also.
Also let’s mention I WOULD HAVE MISSED MY FLIGHT!!! Thank goodness my flight was delayed 45 minutes. I followed their time schedule and choose the correct pick up time. They were almost 40 minutes late!!! How can you be so delayed at 0600?!
I will try a different service next year or once again call to confirm the van type and book an even earlier shuttle, not using their timetable.
