expedition_retirementAfter spending our week at Steamboat, we needed to transfer south to Avon, Colorado, where we would spend the next couple of weeks skiing at Beaver Creek and Vail. Through past research we knew that using a shuttle for that transfer was cost prohibitive, so I looked into my car rental options. Luckily, Enterprise has a rental office in the city of Steamboat Springs, so that I wouldn't have to go all the way out to the airport to pick up the rental car. And, even more conveniently, they had a counter in the lobby of the condo complex we would be staying at in Avon.
While I was originally planning to just use the city transit bus to pick up the car, but the staff at the resort where we were staying in Steamboat made it clear that their shuttle would be able to take me to the Enterprise office, and they seemed happy to do so. After I picked up the car, I drove back to our accommodations to load up the luggage, and we headed south to Avon. It was a sunny day and the drive was pleasant and relaxing.
We arrived in Avon less than 2 hours later. After unloading the luggage and checking in, I returned the keys at the Enterprise counter in the lobby. The total time on the rental was less than two and a half hours!
