Breckenridge Free Ride

The Breckenridge Free Ride is a FREE shuttle that services the town and ski resort year-round.  Parking can be very limited in Breckenridge around our incredible shops and restaurants.  Save yourself the stress and take the shuttle…you will probably end up a lot closer to where you’re going than if you try to drive.

Parking

Breckenridge does not have the greatest parking options in the world. Between our wonderful visitors, snow stacking, and limited space, there are not a lot of extra spaces out there. Most of our rental units provide only one parking space, that is even if it sleeps, 12 people. Call us to find out about your parking situation before you get here. If you do have additional vehicles, here’s how to get a permit to park overnight:

The town provides overflow parking in certain lots. To receive a permit to park in these overflow lots, visit the Breckenridge Police Station at 150 Valley Brook Road for permits to park on Airport Road, or pay directly at the east lot of the ice rink. Permits can be purchased for $5 per day. Parking is either at the Ice Rink on Boreas Pass Rd. or on Airport Road. There are no other public places in Town to park overnight. Shuttle service is provided to take you back into town.

That is the only option for public overnight parking. Click here to get more information on overflow parking, daily free and pay lots, and the easiest skier parking options.

Mountain Info
