Shared Shuttle Options

For budget-conscious travelers, shared shuttle services provide reliable transportation to Park City at a fraction of the cost of private options. These shuttles operate on regular schedules from SLC Airport, with multiple daily departures.

Shared shuttles typically make several stops in Park City, so your total travel time may increase slightly. However, the cost savings can be substantial, especially for solo travelers or couples.

Rideshare Services

Uber and Lyft operate from Salt Lake City Airport and provide on-demand transportation to Park City. While convenient, prices can fluctuate significantly during peak travel times, and many drivers may be less familiar with specific Park City properties and mountain roads during winter conditions.

Rental Cars

For guests seeking maximum flexibility during their Park City stay, rental cars are available directly at Salt Lake City Airport. While this option provides independence, consider:

  • Winter driving conditions can be challenging for those unfamiliar with mountain roads
  • Many Park City properties charge for parking
  • Most Park City destinations are walkable or accessible via free transit once you’ve arrived

Public Transportation

For the most budget-friendly option, Utah Transit Authority (UTA) provides public bus service from Salt Lake City Airport to Park City via the PC-SLC Connect. This service is limited to specific schedules and requires a transfer, making it less convenient for those with significant luggage or ski equipment.

As Park City locals managing hundreds of luxury vacation properties, we’ve helped countless guests navigate the journey from Salt Lake City Airport to their mountain sanctuary. Here’s our insider guidance:

When to Book Your SLC Airport to Park City Shuttle

During peak winter season (December through March), transportation services from Salt Lake Airport to Park City fill quickly. We recommend booking your shuttle at least 2-3 weeks in advance, especially if your travel dates fall around holidays or major events like the Sundance Film Festival.

“After missing out on our preferred private shuttle last Christmas, we now book our Park City transportation the moment we finalize our flights,” explains Michael T., an All Seasons Resort Lodging regular guest from Los Angeles.

Special Considerations for Groups

Traveling with more than 5 people? Most standard shuttle vehicles have limited capacity when accounting for ski equipment and luggage. For larger groups, we recommend:

  • Booking a larger specialty vehicle or multiple vehicles
  • Requesting specific details about vehicle capacity for both passengers and equipment
  • Considering luggage and gear transportation as a separate service if needed
