Transport from Denver International Airport (DIA) to Fort Collins

Personal Pickup: We can find some volunteer to pick you up from Denver International Airport (DIA)

Take the shuttle: Once you reach the DIA most students prefer to come to Fort Collins by the Shamrock shuttle, which has been by far the least expensive mode of  ransportation between the DIA and Fort Collins. And the best part is that the Shamrock shuttle drops you right at the door of your destination address. The shuttle drivers even help you with the luggage. MSA can reserve shuttle seats for the students who request us to do so. However, the student is responsible for the fare and the tip. Some students reach Denver without previous reservations with the Shamrock shuttle and manage to find a seat on one of the shuttles due to cancellations. But it is always recommended that you reserve or request the MSA to reserve a Shamrock shuttle seat for you. The Shamrock shuttle operates DIA-Fort Collins every hour only till 10:50 pm MST-Denver time.

Where do I get the shuttle? You can exit the airport from Door 504 West. DO NOT exit from Door 503 East, as the shuttle does not pick up people from that side of the airport anymore. Please stand on Island 4 outside the Gate, when you exit Door 504 West. Island 4 is just the name of the location where the Shamrock shuttle picks people and not an actual island :-) You have to provide the shuttle driver with your destination address in Fort Collins so that he can drop you there with your luggage. Now you would wonder what this address would be? Well, it generally is the address of the person (mostly an Indian student) who hosts you at Fort Collins for the initial few days till you find an apartment. Those students who need a host have to explicitly request MSA at least 10 days. This is not your privilege but MSA does it to help new students. For those students who do not need a host, you can give the driver the address of the place you have managed to arrange your initial accommodation.
