Transportation to downtown DenverIf you fly into Denver via DIA (Denver International Airport), there are five ways to get to the downtown area. They are: rent a car, take a shuttle or cab, hire a limo or take a bus ...Car rentals If you will be renting a car at DIA, the on-site car rental counters are located on Level 5 in the Jeppesen (main) Terminal. This is the same level as where you pick up your luggage. There are 10 on-site car rental companies on Level 5.

Their buses pick up passengers on Level 3. There are two groups of hotels near DIA. One group is located around 54th Ave. and Pena Blvd. These hotels are about about 10-15 minutes away from the airport. The other is clustered near where Stapleton Airport used to be – at I-70 and Quebec. These hotels are about 20-25 minutes away from DIA. If you will be spending most of your time in downtown Denver, you may want to select one of the hotels on Quebec as this puts you much closer to the downtown area. Private Shuttles Denver had a number of private shuttle companies. My favorite is Super Shuttle (800-525-3177). It offers service to just about any hotel in the metro area and its fares are reasonable. Public Transportation If you will be staying at a downtown Denver hotel, you may want to take a bus to the downtown area. Our bus service provider is the RTD (Regional Transportation District). All RTD operations are outside Door 511 on the East Side of Jeppesen Terminal, Level 5, Island 5. You can get schedule information on buses to downtown Denver (or any other area) by calling 800-366-7433. Limousines If you would like to rent a limo to get around Denver, you're in luck. Denver has literally dozens of limousine companies. Click here for a list of these companies and their contact numbers. http://www.flydenver.com/gt/search.asp Taxi Cabs
Taxi service is also available to and from DIA. You can pick up a taxi on Level 5, Island 1. Denver's largest taxicab companies are Yellow Cab (303) 777-7777) and Metro Taxi (303-333-3333). Be aware that a cab ride to downtown Denver isn't cheap. Yellow Cab charges $43.00 plus a $3.25 gate fee, plus $1.00 for every passenger beyond the first. So, if you are a family of four, count on spending $49.25 to get to downtown Denver.
