Executive protection transportation in Vail and Beaver Creek
Executive travel in Vail Village, Beaver Creek, Bachelor Gulch, and Summit County, driven by P1's own Colorado team. Every driver is a security professional, every vehicle is an unmarked, equipped luxury SUV, and every arrival at Eagle County is linked to the flight.
A security professional at the wheel
Drivers from law enforcement, the military, or executive protection, trained in protective driving and emergency medical response.
An equipped, unmarked vehicle
A late-model luxury SUV with a trauma kit, an AED, secure Wi-Fi, and a Principal Kit, and nothing on the outside that draws attention.
Live tracking for your team
Assistants, pilots, and family you authorize follow the vehicle in real time, with an update at each milestone.
A 24/7 operations center
Every trip is monitored from the advance brief to the final drop-off, and any change is handled immediately.
How P1 runs trips in Vail
Vail and Beaver Creek are covered by P1's own team, the same drivers and operations center that run trips in Aspen and Denver. Drivers are based in Colorado, and each one's knowledge of the valley, from Vail Village and Lionshead to Beaver Creek, Bachelor Gulch, and Edwards, is recorded and verified before they drive here. Family offices planning a ski week, flight departments bringing principals into Eagle County, and executive offices arranging a stay for guests all work from the same advance brief.
A day with P1 in Vail usually starts with the drop at the lifts and ends after the last dinner, with the same driver and vehicle on hand in between. A member might keep the vehicle through lunch in Beaver Creek, shopping and galleries in Vail Village and Lionshead, a meeting in Edwards, an afternoon at the spa, and dinner back in the village, and the driver is staged near each stop and ready when the principal is. A family with children in ski school or guests arriving on a different flight can add a second vehicle, coordinated as one trip under one brief.
Most stays begin at Eagle County Regional in Gypsum, which has one FBO, Signature, and is also the nearest alternate for Aspen. That makes it busy in two ways: when weather closes Aspen, diverted flights land here, and while Aspen/Pitkin County is closed for its runway rebuild from April to November 2027, Eagle is expected to take a larger share of the region's private arrivals. P1 plans for the fuller ramp in those months: the driver is staged well before the aircraft lands, the FBO procedure is confirmed ahead, and the meeting point is in the Movement Brief.

A driver and vehicle for the whole day in Vail
Most members book P1 by the hour rather than by the ride. From the first pickup to the last drop-off, the same driver and vehicle stay with the principal through meetings, errands, lunches, and dinners.
- Booked by the hourReserve the driver and vehicle for the day, or for the hours you need. The vehicle stays with the principal instead of dropping off and leaving.
- Staged at every stopWhile the principal is in a meeting, a shop, or at dinner, the driver waits nearby at the right entrance, ready to leave when the principal is.
- Plans that changeAdd a stop, change the destination, or keep the vehicle longer from the app. Each change is priced and approved on the spot, and operations updates the driver.

Every pickup is linked to the flight, so an early, late, or diverted arrival re-times it automatically, and the driver is staged before the aircraft lands.
When Vail gets busy, and what we plan around
- Mid-November
Vail opens for the season, and the first arrivals of the winter start coming through Eagle County and over I-70 from Denver.
- Early December
The Birds of Prey World Cup brings racers, teams, and spectators to Beaver Creek, so pickups there are planned around the race schedule.
- Christmas to New Year's
The busiest weeks of the ski season in the valley. Itineraries sent early give operations time to plan drivers, vehicles, and staging for each day of the stay.
- February and March
Presidents' Day weekend and March spring break fill the resorts again, and Friday and Saturday traffic on I-70 makes the drive from Denver much longer than it is midweek.
- April to November 2027
With Aspen's airport scheduled to close for its runway rebuild, Eagle County becomes the closest airport for much of Aspen's private traffic, and its ramp is busier than in a normal year.
Ski-weekend traffic at the tunnel and the pass
On Fridays and Saturdays in ski season, traffic backs up at the Eisenhower Tunnel and on Vail Pass. A drive from Denver International that takes 2 to 2.5 hours on a quiet day can take 3 to 4 hours, so P1 times Denver arrivals and departures around it and gives the expected time in the Movement Brief.
Traction and chain laws on I-70
From September 1 to May 31, Colorado's traction law applies on I-70 between Dotsero and Morrison, which takes in every mile between the foothills and the airport at Gypsum, and CDOT activates the chain law in storms. The readiness check before each trip covers the vehicle's tires and equipment, and the brief notes the law in force that day.
Summit County is over the pass
Breckenridge, Keystone, and Frisco sit on the far side of Vail Pass, so a day that moves between the Vail Valley and Summit County crosses the pass at least twice. Those trips are planned with the pass conditions for the day, and the brief notes them.
Customs at Eagle County
International arrivals clear customs inside the Signature building, which offers it on limited days and hours, with advance notice and a fee. P1 builds the pickup around the cleared arrival and keeps the driver staged until the passengers are through.
What the Movement Brief covers in Vail
The people you designate receive a one-page brief before each trip, naming the driver and their credentials, the vehicle and its verified equipment, and the operations contact, with the local details below.
- The arrival at Eagle County, the Signature FBO, and the meeting point at the aircraft, or the Denver or Centennial arrival when the trip starts on the Front Range
- The route and drive time for the day, with Vail Pass and Eisenhower Tunnel traffic and the traction or chain law in force on I-70
- Where the vehicle is staged at the residence, hotel, or restaurant in Vail, Beaver Creek, or Breckenridge, and the entrance the driver will use
- The assigned driver and their credentials, the vehicle and its verified equipment, and the operations contact for the trip
Between a car service and a full protection detail
Most trips do not call for a protection detail, but they deserve more than a chauffeur. P1 adds protective capability to everyday travel in Vail without the footprint, minimums, or cost of a full detail.

Yes. Eagle County Regional (EGE) in Gypsum is the closest airport to Vail and Beaver Creek, and its one FBO is Signature. The pickup is linked to the flight by tail number, and the driver is staged before the aircraft lands, at the aircraft where the FBO allows it, otherwise at the FBO door.
Yes. Customs at Eagle County is inside the Signature building and is available on limited days and hours, with advance notice and a fee, so the flight department or charter operator arranges clearance ahead. The driver is staged before the aircraft lands and waits until the passengers have cleared.
Yes, and most members do: P1 is usually booked by the hour, and the driver and vehicle stay with the principal from the first lift drop to the last dinner, staged near each stop and ready to move when the principal is. Stops can be added or the vehicle kept longer from the app, and each change is priced and approved on the spot.
A car service in Vail is built around hospitality: a chauffeur, a clean vehicle, and punctuality. P1 puts a security driver at the wheel, a professional typically from law enforcement, the military, or executive protection, trained in protective driving, CPR and AED, and bleeding control. The vehicle carries a trauma kit and an AED, and a 24/7 operations center follows the trip.
Drivers are armed where lawful and appropriately licensed. Most of what a protective driver does is planning, route choice, and awareness, and armed capability is the last contingency rather than the first.
Yes. Drives between Vail, Beaver Creek, Aspen, Summit County, and Denver are booked as intercity trips, with the driver staying with the principal or returning afterward. In winter, with Independence Pass closed, the drive to Aspen runs west on I-70 and through Glenwood Springs, and the Movement Brief gives the conditions for the day.
Yes. The Birds of Prey World Cup comes to Beaver Creek in early December, and Christmas to New Year's, Presidents' Day, and March spring break are the busiest weeks of the ski season. Sending the itinerary early lets operations plan the drivers, vehicles, and staging for every day of the stay.
Yes. The people you authorize follow the vehicle in real time and receive an update at each milestone. The crew link for pilots shows where the vehicle is staged at Eagle County and when the passengers are on their way back, and it never shows destinations or family details.
The vehicle carries no branding, livery, or signage, and the driver wears business attire rather than a chauffeur's suit. There are no name boards at the FBO, and every driver signs a nondisclosure agreement and P1's Code of Conduct before the first trip.
P1 is offered through membership rather than by the ride. P1 Membership begins with a minimum $25,000 prepaid annual service commitment, and the full amount is available toward eligible P1 services. The rate schedule is shared after a membership request.
