Getting to Fort Collins from the Denver Airport

Airport Shuttles

Groome Transportation : (888) 472-6656. Reservations are necessary. Service leaves about every hour. Can drop off anywhere in area.

Landline: (888) 428-1149. Reservations are necessary. Service leaves about every two hours. Only drops off at 1 CSU location (and one other Fort Collins location).

Most people fly into Denver International Airport (DIA), and then take a shuttle to Fort Collins. The trip takes about 1.75 hours and costs approximately $55 per person directly to your residence or $32 to the CSU Transit Center.

When arranging a pick-up time from the airport, plan an extra 20-30 minutes to pick up checked baggage, plus an additional 15 minutes to navigate the airport to the shuttle pick-up location. If you are clearing customs in Denver, plan at least an additional 30 minutes. Students who miss the last shuttle to Fort Collins will need to stay overnight in Denver at a hotel near the airport, at their own expense.

Drop-off locations

There are several drop-off points in Fort Collins, depending on time of arrival. We recommend getting dropped off directly at your residence, if you are able to move in upon arrival.

Make sure to arrange temporary or long-term housing before you arrive so you can decide where to be dropped off. Visit our Housing webpage for information about housing options and resources.
