Denver to Vail Private Airport Shuttle Driver
Target Start Date: Now Hiring for 2026/27 · Application Deadline: March 31, 2027$25 to $35 Per Hour Including Tips, On-Call and Flexible
Blue Sky Limo is hiring on-call drivers for the 2026/2027 season to run our private shuttle service to Vail from Denver Airport. This is a part-time position with a path onto permanent staff for drivers who prove reliable through the season. You pick the days you commit to. What we ask in return is that you keep the shifts you take, drive the way you would with your own family in the car, and remember that for most guests you are the first person they meet in Colorado.
What the Work Looks Like
The run covers 119.6 miles from Denver International Airport west on I-70 to exit 176, about two hours in normal conditions. It climbs through the Eisenhower-Johnson Memorial Tunnel, crosses Vail Pass, and ends at a hotel, condo, or private residence in Vail. You drive one of our late-model luxury AWD SUVs, meet guests at Jeppesen Terminal Level 5, Island 1, in the mountain-carrier area, load luggage and ski gear, and run the transfer door to door with no other passengers aboard. Guests on this route are skiers, families, and business travelers coming off a long flight with a lot of gear, and they tip well when the trip is handled right.
Schedule and Pay
Drivers earn $25 to $35 per hour including tips, depending on the season and the shift. The schedule is on call and flexible: you tell us the days you are available, and dispatch builds the week around it. Winter is the busy half of the year, and the holiday and storm weeks pay the best. Drivers who work a full season reliably are the first we look to when a permanent, year-round seat opens up.
Job Responsibilities
- Transport guests safely between Denver International Airport and Vail, Avon, Beaver Creek, and other Vail Valley destinations.
- Send guests your number before their flight lands, meet them at Island 1, and assist with luggage and ski equipment.
- Operate the vehicle responsibly through changing I-70 conditions, including traction law days, closures, and Vail Pass weather.
- Stay in contact with dispatch through the shift and adjust for flight delays, pass closures, and itinerary changes.
- Keep the vehicle clean, stocked, and presentable before and after every run.
- Log trip details accurately, including passenger counts, mileage, and any incidents.
Requirements
- At least 25 years old, for insurance eligibility.
- A valid driver's license in your name and a five-year driving record with no major moving violations. No CDL required.
- Year-round residence in the Vail Valley or Summit County, along the I-70 mountain corridor.
- Legal authorization to work in the United States.
- Comfortable driving in ice, snow, high winds, and reduced visibility.
- Available for early-morning, late-night, weekend, and holiday shifts through the ski season.
- Professional appearance and clear communication with guests and dispatch.
No passenger driving experience is necessary, though it helps. Some of our best drivers came to us with the right attitude and no transport background at all. All applicants are subject to a background check and a motor vehicle record review.
Safety and Standards
Blue Sky Limo has maintained a perfect safety record since 2012, and we equip you to keep it: a meticulously maintained fleet, studded winter tires every season, daily pre-trip inspections, and strict adherence to FMCSA Hours of Service rules so nobody drives this corridor tired. Safety calls stay with the driver. Slow the pace, reroute, or pause the trip when conditions call for it, and dispatch backs you every time.
Why Drive for Blue Sky Limo
We are a family-owned company that has been running the I-70 corridor since 2012. Drivers here are long-term team members, not interchangeable vendors. We hold Colorado PUC authority and the required Denver International Airport permits, we update the fleet every season, and our work is backed by hundreds of five-star reviews across Google and Tripadvisor. Vail runs year-round, with heavy winter demand from skiers and steady summer demand from hikers, cyclists, concert-goers, and wedding parties, so the work does not disappear when the snow does.

A Note to Our Fellow Chamber Members
Chamber members, property managers, and lodging staff know the drivers in this valley better than any job board does. If you know someone who would be good on this run, please send them our way. We would rather hire a neighbor's recommendation than a stranger's resume.
