Eagle Airport to Beaver Creek Car Service
Beaver Creek is the closest major ski village to Eagle County Regional Airport, 28 miles away by I-70 and one exit ramp. In summer the drive takes 35 to 40 minutes and crosses no mountain pass.

The route in 3 steps
Your driver collects you at Eagle County Regional Airport and takes I-70 east. You leave the interstate at exit 167 in Avon. Avon Road and Village Road then climb south to the Beaver Creek resort gate.
The airport sits at 6,547 feet. The resort base sits at 8,100 feet, so you arrive roughly 1,550 feet higher than you landed.
The 35 to 40 minutes is a summer figure. Snow on Village Road, the short climb from Avon into the base village, adds time.
Why Eagle works for a Beaver Creek week
From Denver International, Beaver Creek is 132 miles away and the road crosses Vail Pass. From Eagle it is 28 miles, and the pass is not on the route.

Renting a car at EGE: the tire rule
The I-70 leg to exit 167 falls inside Colorado’s Traction Law corridor from September 1 to May 31, and 4WD alone does not satisfy it. Check the tire rating before you leave the rental lot. Tread and fine rules are in our traction law guide.
8,100 feet at the base village
The base village at 8,100 feet puts your first night past the altitude threshold. Guidance for sleeping above 8,000 feet: add no more than 1,000 feet of sleeping elevation per night.
First-day advice is in our altitude guide.

Questions we actually get asked
- How long does it take to drive from Eagle airport to Beaver Creek?
- 28 miles and 35m–40m in summer.
- Do I need snow chains or a special vehicle?
- Not in our car. Colorado enforces its traction law on I-70 between Dotsero and Morrison from September 1 through May 31, and every vehicle in our fleet carries compliant tires for the full season. In a rental it is your problem: the fine is $100 plus a $33 surcharge, and all-wheel drive alone does not satisfy the law.
- How high is it, and will the altitude bother me?
- Beaver Creek sits at 8,100 ft, which is 1,553 feet above Eagle airport. Standard guidance above 8,000 feet is to gain no more than 1,000 feet of sleeping elevation per night.
- Will our skis and luggage fit?
- A Suburban gives 41.5 cubic feet with all three rows up and 98.8 with the third folded. Ski bags are long rather than bulky, so the constraint is usually shape, not volume — tell us the passenger count, bag count and ski bag count and we will size the vehicle.
- Where do I meet my driver at Eagle airport?
- Private cars meet passengers outside Door 6 of the main terminal, next to oversized ski and snowboard bag claim. Your driver waits at the vehicle in the designated pickup area, not inside the terminal.
- What happens if my flight is delayed?
- Airport waiting is included in the price. A delayed flight is not a rebooking.
