Telluride Airports and Getting to Your Ski Rental
This guide covers Telluride Regional Airport (TEX), using its home page and ground transportation page, and Montrose Regional Airport (MTJ), using its home page, airport shuttles page and rental car page, all checked on October 18, 2026. Airline routes change and some are seasonal, so treat these lists as a starting point and confirm on the airline’s site before you book.
Quick answer
TEX says it has commercial service to Denver and Phoenix, and that Uber and Lyft are not authorized there. MTJ says only designated shuttle companies may operate at the airport, so check that yours is on its list. Neither airport gives a drive time to Telluride.
