Skip the Crowds and Travel on Your Schedule

When you land at Yampa Valley Regional Airport (HDN), you’re ready to get to Steamboat Springs and start your vacation. But if you’ve ever taken a shared airport shuttle, you know the reality: long pickup windows, crowded vans, and multiple stops before you ever reach your lodging.

That’s why more travelers are turning to private airport transportation from Yampa Valley Airport. With Sweet Pea Tours, you’ll enjoy the comfort of your own vehicle, a driver waiting just for you, and a direct ride straight to your destination.

The Myth of “Cheaper” Shared Shuttles

It’s easy to assume that shared shuttles are the cheapest option. Big companies advertise low per-person fares, but the numbers often don’t tell the full story.

For example, a family of four will pay around $468–$480 round-trip for a shared shuttle. With Sweet Pea Tours, a private van for the same family costs just $504 round-trip (with our Hot Springs discount). For only a few dollars more, you get the entire vehicle to yourself, no delays, and a stress-free ride.

For larger groups, the value is even clearer. Families or groups of eight can pay nearly $480 each way for a shared shuttle. Sweet Pea Tours offers a private van for $450 each way—or just $405 with our Hot Springs discount.

Convenience You Can Count On

With Sweet Pea Tours, your time matters:

  • No waiting around: Your driver meets you at baggage claim and you leave right away.

  • No vague pickup windows: You choose your exact departure time, not a one-hour block.

  • No multiple stops: Go directly to your Steamboat lodging without detours.

  • No stress: Traveling with kids, skis, or extra gear? Enjoy the privacy and space of your own van.

Comfort and Privacy

A shared shuttle can hold up to 26 passengers. That means crowded seating, luggage stacked to the roof, and little space to relax. Sweet Pea Tours’ vans are private, spacious, and designed for comfort. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with a group, you’ll enjoy a quieter, more relaxing start to your trip.

Competitive Pricing for Groups

Here’s a simple breakdown of how private transportation compares to shared shuttles:

Group Size Shared Shuttle (Avg.) Sweet Pea Tours (Private)
Family of 4 $468–$480 round-trip $504 round-trip (w/ discount)
Family of 8 $480 each way $405 each way (w/ discount)

Result: Private is not only more convenient—it’s also often the same price or less.

The Smarter Choice

Your vacation starts the moment you land. Don’t waste it waiting in lines or riding in crowded vans. With Sweet Pea Tours’ private airport transfers, you’ll save time, travel in comfort, and enjoy pricing that rivals shared shuttles.
