For Summit County destinations plan on 1 to 1.5 hour drive.

Rental Cars & Parking
Car rentals are normally available at the airport, and in Summit County. Be sure to make a reservation prior to arriving! Rental cars are normally equipped with snow tires in the Winter, but it's wise to ask and be sure. Also, don't forget to request ski racks! Driving is easy in Summit County and the Vail Valley with excellent roads that are nearly always well maintained. If you plan to venture off the major routes, however, a 4 wheel drive vehicle is recommended as the snow plows clear the major roads first! Winter driving conditions can be expected from October through the end of April.
