Our entire fleet is comprised of minivans that accommodate up to six passengers. All vehicles are also outfitted with a closed-top roof box to store additional luggage or ski / snowboard gear in a protected-from-the-elements space

100%, absolutely, YES. All drivers go through background checks processed through the FBI and Colorado Bureau of Investigation.

Yes. Ride Taxi is a taxi service overseen by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC), operating under Authority #55868. Because we are governed by the PUC, we must adhere to strict standards, including frequent vehicle inspections; driver background checks through the FBI and Colorado Bureau of Investigation; and many other requirements.

As a PUC-regulated taxi company, our rates are set at a consistent rate per mile, and we never, ever have surge pricing. This means day or night; holiday weekend or regular ole’ Monday; post-bar crawl or post-ski day; we charge the same amount per mile. Currently, our rates are $3.50 per mile, and $3.45 for the first 1/10th of a mile. We are proud to be the most affordable taxi in the Vail Valley, and strive to be the most reliable on-call and on-demand service, to boot!

That’s a big Y-E-S! Ride Taxi loves EGE, and is credentialed to drop off and pick up passengers at the airport year-round. Though we recommend making advance round-trop reservations with us (because: vacation! And checking “transportation” off the list), you may also call upon arrival at EGE, and we’ll gladly pick you up in style. *Fun fact: we are often less expensive than a shuttle service, when traveling with 2+ people!

We also can set up billing accounts for customers and groups, should you have larger-scale transportation needs.
