Rental Car

Rental Cars

Durango is a small town and doesn't have a large fleet of rental cars available like most big cities, so please reserve rental cars in advance if you are planning to do so

Travel Note

Uber

Durango is quite a small town and services like Uber and Lyft are not as reliable as they are in larger cities. You can try to use Uber (we've had luck with airport pickups/drop offs), just be aware that you may wait a little while. Other taxi services that we recommend trying as well: Sunshine Rides of Colorado, Buck Horn Limousine (not exclusively a limo service), and Animas Transportation.

Travel Note

elevation

The town of Durango rests at 6,500 feet, making it considerably higher in elevation than our East Coast friends and family are used to. Please take extra care when visiting Durango, which looks like: - Drinking more water than you are used to, even the days leading up to travel - Adding electrolytes to water to help with hydration - Going easy on the alcohol + caffeine while here - Limiting strenuous activities, especially your first day here - Be aware that altitude will increase as you drive North of Durango. (Silverton's elevation is 9,300 feet)
