Common Questions
How long from DIA to Breckenridge?
1 hour 45 minutes to 2.5 hours depending on traffic and weather. Weekend ski traffic through the Eisenhower Tunnel can add significant time on Fridays and Sundays.
How to avoid I-70 ski traffic?
Leave early. Friday departures before 2 PM or after 8 PM typically avoid the worst. Sunday returns before 10 AM or after 6 PM. Your chauffeur will recommend optimal timing.
Do you serve Frisco, Silverthorne, and Keystone?
Yes. All of Summit County — Breckenridge, Frisco, Silverthorne, Dillon, Keystone, and Copper Mountain.
Can you fit ski equipment?
Yes. Our SUVs and Sprinters have cargo space for skis, boards, and gear bags. Let us know your equipment when booking.
Where does my chauffeur meet me at Denver International Airport?
For commercial arrivals your chauffeur meets you curbside on Level 5 — Island 2, near door 506 on the west side or door 511 on the east, depending on your baggage claim — and texts you the exact spot before you land. An inside meet-and-greet with a name sign is available for an additional $75, arranged at booking. Private-aviation clients are met planeside or in the FBO lobby.
What happens if my flight into DEN is delayed?
We track every flight in real time and shift your pickup automatically — no phone calls, no rebooking, and no delay charge. Airport arrivals include a 30-minute complimentary wait window from actual landing time.
How early should my departure pickup be for a flight out of DEN?
As a rule: 3 hours before departure for international, 2.5 hours for domestic during peak morning and Sunday-afternoon security waves, and 2 hours off-peak — plus your drive time. Dispatch builds the pickup time backward from your flight and the current DEN wait times.
Can Arion handle late-night or red-eye airport pickups?
Yes. Arion dispatches 24/7, including post-midnight arrivals and 3 a.m. departures. Late-night trips are pre-assigned to a specific chauffeur, so there is no scramble for a driver when you land.
Do you serve Centennial, Rocky Mountain Metro, and private FBOs?
Yes. Arion regularly covers Centennial (APA), Rocky Mountain Metropolitan (BJC), Eagle County (EGE), Aspen/Pitkin (ASE), and Colorado Springs (COS), and meets private-aviation passengers planeside where the FBO permits.
Is it safe to drive into the mountains in winter?
With the right vehicle and a trained chauffeur, yes. Colorado's Traction Law (Code 15) on I-70 requires AWD/4WD or snow-rated tires with adequate tread; Arion vehicles meet or exceed it, carry chains, and our chauffeurs are ice-driving trained and monitor CDOT conditions before and during every mountain run.
What happens if I-70 closes or chain law is in effect?
Dispatch monitors CDOT closures and traction/chain restrictions in real time and will reroute (US-285, US-40, I-70 timing changes) or reschedule your pickup window. We tell you early rather than leaving you guessing at the airport.
How much extra time should I plan for ski-day traffic?
Plan an extra 60–90 minutes for Friday and Saturday westbound mornings and Sunday afternoon eastbound returns, and more around holiday weekends and storm cycles. We shift departure times to travel ahead of the peak rather than sitting in it.
How much luggage fits?
An Executive or Luxury SUV holds 8 standard bags or 4 ski sets. Our vans hold 14 bags or 6 ski sets, and an Executive Sedan holds 3 bags. If you are travelling with skis, boards, golf clubs or oversized gear, tell us at booking and we will size the vehicle to the pile, not the headcount.
Will my chauffeur meet me inside at the airport?
At Denver International, curbside pickup on Level 5 is standard. Your chauffeur texts you the exact door before you land and is waiting when you walk out. If you would rather be met inside at baggage claim with a name sign, that is available for an additional $75, arranged at booking. At Eagle County and Aspen, the inside meet is standard: your chauffeur meets you in the terminal and walks you to the vehicle.
