Breckenridge Condominiums Travel Insurance

Travel Insurance

Are you protected? Travel Insurance offers you the peace of mind needed when planning your vacation. Protect your investment by purchasing CSA Insurance for only 6.95% of your reservation total. The old travel industry motto is that if you can’t afford to lose the amount you have invested for your vacation rental, then you should probably opt for the insurance as a safety net. Because we have a 60-day cancellation policy (60-day for Holiday, 14-day for summer) for most of our ski season, last minute cancellations are rare; However, we know that life throws many unexpected situations at you. We are unable to make any exceptions for non-refundable cancellations.

Most common reasons guests benefit from purchasing travel insurance:

  • unforeseen injury, illness or death to someone in the traveling party, or even to a non-traveling family member
  • pre-existing medical conditions (assuming one has purchased insurance within 21 days of the booking date)
  • weather-related airport and/or official road closure that might prevent you from reaching Breckenridge as scheduled
  • jury duty
  • a natural disaster that might disable one’s ability to reach the destination

Breckenridge/Denver Shuttle

Breckenridge is located approximately 100 miles from Denver International Airport. Guests who fly in will typically rent a vehicle or rely on one of the airport transfer companies. We recommend booking your car rentals via Expedia or Hotwire. Denver International Airport offers a wonderful variety car rental companies to choose from. Keep in mind there is a hefty airport tax so make sure you look at the bottom like price.

Airfare

Denver International Airport (DIA) is approximately 100 miles from Breckenridge. As a key player in the domestic travel scene, there are thousands of flights in and out of DIA every day. In 2011, over 53 million passengers traveled through this modern airport. The airlines which provide the most flights into Denver from our major Breckenridge travel markets include United, Frontier, Southwest, American, Delta, JetBlue and several others. The airport provides the full range of rental car companies, along with several Ground Transportation options to get you up to Breckenridge.

The second option is to fly into Eagle Vail. Its about a 50 min drive to Breckenridge. We don’t recommend this option because shuttle transfers are expensive and there is limited availability of car rentals once you arrive. You might save about 1 hour of driving time but you won’t save any travel time because almost all flights to Eagle/Vail transfer in Denver. Please consider this point before booking.

Ski & Snowboard Rentals

We work with a few different ski & snowboard rental shops here in Breckenridge. All of them will honor a discount for our guests if you mention you are staying with Great Western Lodging.
