Getting Around Denver
Car rental:
Most of the major rental car companies -- Advantage, Enterprise, Hertz, and Avis -- are a short shuttle scoot away from Denver International Airport. Rental car counters are located in the Jeppesen Terminal, on the fifth level, and all the companies provide courtesy shuttle service to their facilities. Once you've collected your luggage, step outside the baggage claim exit doors, and you'll see the shuttles with their respective company name slowly circling the airport terminal. All of the rental car companies provide maps to get you on your way to Denver.
Taxi:
Taxis can be hailed outside the baggage claim area, located on level five of the Jeppesen Terminal. If traffic is flowing freely, a cab ride downtown takes about 35 minutes and costs around $50. Yellow Cab is the most common taxi service (303-777-7777), but Metro Taxi, Zone Cab, and Freedom Cab also service the airport.
Public transportation:
Numerous shuttle providers and limousines lie in wait to shuffle passengers between Denver International Airport and various points in and around the city -- including several hotels. Prices are generally around $20 per person for shuttle service and $65 and more for limousine service.
Regional Transportation District, or RTD's, skyRide is the direct public transit bus from the airport to downtown Denver's Market Street Station, located at the west end of the 16th Street Mall. All buses leave the airport from Level 5, Island 5, outside Door 506 on the west side of the terminal and Door 511 on the east side of the terminal. Fares range from $6 to $10 one-way, and exact change is required. You may purchase a skyRide roundtrip ticket or pass in advance. Several hotels near the airport also provide door-to-door shuttle service from the airport terminal to their property.
