Getting into Town
Airport taxi: Though located just 10 miles (16km) from downtown Colorado Springs, there is basically only one viable, reliable transportation option available to travelers, and that is a taxi from the airport into town. There are Ground Transportation telephones set up in the baggage reclaim area of the airport – but these will just connect you to private shuttle, limo and taxi companies, who might charge you a premium fee. If you are scheduled to arrive at night, call ahead and book a taxi (719- 634 5000). During the day, taxis are readily available outside the terminal building. It will cost a maximum of $30 to get into Colorado Springs, and take about 15 minutes.
