Valet Parking

$30/day valet at ASE is an outlier for a ski-town airport

Most Aspen trips lean on hotel or resort drivers, but Aspen–Pitkin County Airport runs its own Valet Parking right next to the terminal. Daily rates sit at $30.00, with a straight-line weekly rate of $210.00, so you don’t pay extra for day seven. If you want to drive your own car instead of relying on a lodge shuttle, this is the airport’s premium option.

This is true valet, not self-park: you pull up beside the terminal building, hand off the keys, and walk a short distance to check-in. With the lot sitting immediately next to the terminal, you’re talking a couple of minutes from trunk to TSA on a normal day. In winter, skipping the walk through an icy public lot is the real value, more than the dollar figure.

Pricing is simple: $30.00 per calendar day or $210.00 per week, so a 3-night ski weekend runs about $90 plus tax. There’s no cheaper “economy” valet tier here; if you want to drop at the terminal, this is the only airport-run option. If you’re parking longer than seven days, just multiply $30 by your exact count and compare against shuttle or car service from town.

There aren’t many detailed online reviews of ASE’s valet, and frequent-flyer forums mostly talk about hotel valets in Aspen proper instead. That silence usually means service is functional and unremarkable, not a circus. Still, call the airport ahead if you’re planning something like a two-week stay in peak January, just to confirm space and any blackout quirks.

Pro tip: in heavy snow, budget an extra 10–15 minutes at pickup so the staff can dig out and warm up your car before you roll toward Highway 82.
