Getting around in Aspen
Taxi
Since buses and shuttles are free to board, taxis have taken a backseat in Aspen
and neighborhood regions. If you still seek one on your visit, Aspenite Express,
phone (970) 544-5854 offers prompt service. The flag drop rate is $2
and after that every mile costs $2.50. You can also opt for time based rate
which is $0.50 cents per minute currently.
Car Hire
You should drive in Aspen only if experienced to drive during icy cold weather.
Colorado can sometimes be very windy and twisted mountain roads make these roads
some of the most precariously-perched passes and byways of the United States.
Aspen Car Hire is
definitely worth "going in" for as it will give you the freedom to see the
city at your own pace. Avoid driving between the usual traffic hours and look out
for parking stations that allow you to park for longer durations at cheap prices.
Usually a person between the age brackets of 18 to 75 years with a valid license
is allowed to drive a private, non-commercial vehicle in the city. If you
like to drive, don't forget to carry your driver's license. For foreigners,
International Driving Permit is compulsory.
Depending on the way you're travelling, there are many types of Aspen car rental services that can make it convenient
for you to move comfortably between hotels, places of interest, restaurants
and airports. Pick from economy vehicles to go for a trip around the city to full
size vehicles for longer inter-city excursions - all at best prices.
