Telluride Colorado at night

The best service on the Western Slope

  • Additional stops for groceries, lunch, etc (upon request)
  • We can assist in arranging visits to local attractions and regional tours.
  • We are locally owned, supporters of the community, who have in depth knowledge of the area to help with trip planning. 

  • Provide a personalized service to help tailor the experience to your needs. 

Here's what people are saying
  • "Super nice company all around and would recommend them to everyone!"

  • "Andy and his team helped my group solve a variety of ground transportation and logistical needs for a mountain bike trip in the area."

Why use Group Shuttles and Car Rentals when you can get a Private Limo?


Compare the cost…
  • Car rentals: It is never just the weekly rental cost with this option: gas (75 miles from Montrose to Telluride), parking at $30 a day and insurance for a 4×4 can add several hundred to the weekly rate…the cost of efficient roundtrip private service like TelluRides. Having a car in Telluride and Mountain Village can sometimes be a greater liability than a value.
  • Best Choice: Stretch out and relax with your own private vehicle service, make a stop at the grocery or liquor store, and then head directly to your destination…not an option with mixed-party shuttles.
Easy arrivals & departures…
  • We track your flight so we are there whether your plane is early or late, reducing your travel stress.
  • With our service, you are met in the terminal at baggage claim or on the tarmac and assisted with your luggage. No need to go outside and find your driver.
  • Though we assign pick-up times based on a formula for a successful departure, we can schedule pick up times to your preference. Spend extra time on the slope or soaking up the views before heading home!
  • We never schedule your pick up around other departing parties like mixed shuttle service, that way you don’t leave before you have to and know you will get to your flight on-time and relaxed.

Express Limo & Ground Transportation

Our fleet of ground transportation and transit vehicles consists of late model multi-passenger vans and large luxury SUVs. Studded snow tires are standard in this wintry paradise.  So whether you are with us on a short Montrose to Telluride shuttle ride or a longer haul from Denver to Telluride, our vehicles will ensure your safe arrival in all weather conditions.

Luxury FBO Transportation

Providing high-quality Private Jet Transportation and Luxury Limo pick up, TelluRides is the premiere transportation company for the Atlantic Aviation FBO and the Telluride Airport FBO.
