For those traveling from out of state there are two options:
1. Fly to Hayden (about 30 minutes West of Steamboat Springs)
2) Fly to Denver and drive 3.5 hours to steamboat.
Both United and South West offer daily flights to Hayden. While it is a little more expensive to fly into Hayden, many find it easier than renting a car or finding a shuttle from Denver. Shuttles from Hayden are readily available to take you into Steamboat from Hayden Airport.

Enterprise is the only rental car company that has a drop off in Steamboat and not 40mins past town at the Hayden Airport. Most transport companies that used to shuttle to and from DIA went under during COVID. It is likely cheapest to rent a car, drop it off, and uber/free bus around town if you aren't flying into Hayden.

If you are looking for a ride from HDN to your accommodation, these guys are the go to. It's around $50 a head to get you to your lodging. If Uber, the free bus, or walking aren't your preferred method to travel around town, we might suggest renting a car. Check to see if your hotel has complimentary shuttle transport ahead of time!

There is a bus that runs once a day from Denver to Steamboat. It's only $28 but you will need to get from the airport to Union Station in order to catch the bus. The light rail at DIA will take you directly there. This will add about 2 hours of travel time vs. driving directly.
