A tale of two rides, Wow what a difference between their standard shared shuttle and their premiere…read moreblack.
Standard shared shuttle from the Denver airport into Breckenridge. Older van, with the seats placed as closely together as possible. Sitting in a middle row, my knees were pushed hard into the back of the seat in front of me. The upholstery was shot, I could really feel the metal framing on my butt and back, as well as pushing into my knees.
It was a very uncomfortable ride, and at the start of a holiday weekend, it took over an hour of additional time dealing with traffic. They'll get you there, and at a reasonable price, but it will be a long tortuous experience.
Booked a private premiere black for the return. Oh, my, what a difference. The SUV was new, extremely comfortable, an absolute pleasure. While, crammed into the van on the way up, I hardly noticed the scenery, on the way back it was a joy to be able to fully appreciate the mountains' beauty.
If you can splurge for the private ride, do it. If it seems expensive and you're on the fence, do it. If you do decide on the shared shuttle, just know you'll be spending the time in purgatory. We will ONLY take the private option in the future.
They do deserve credit, either way, for being very well organized. Customer service was great, everything ran like clockwork. For the private ride, they sent a text confirmation of the reservation the afternoon before, but nothing they day of; the driver simply showed up in front of the hotel at the arranged time. It would have eased our minds to have the driver at least text that they were on the way or that they had arrived.
So how to rate the experience? Given their service was solid, and the private ride was so wonderful, so long as you know what to expect with the shared option, they do what they say they'll do. I just put as 4 to attract the reader's attention long enough to be sure they understand the shared option downsides.
