Elevate Rides took our group to the Zac Brown concert at Red Rocks and back, and it was a great experience. I was a little nervous on the day of the show because I hadn’t heard from anyone, but then Jena texted me directly around four hours before the scheduled pickup and everything went super smoothly from there.…

We had a wonderful experience with Elevate! Jena was the best driver we could have asked for! She made our night so fun, stress-free, and organized! We will only be using Elevate for any future red rocks concert nights! Couldn’t recommend more!

Elevate Rides and our driver Alec were absolutely fantastic for Zeds Dead week. We choose the Peak 1 party bus which was perfect for the 8 of us and the one or two extra friends who joined each night. Great bus for a small group, and our driver couldn’t have been better.

We had a great time on our party bus. We went bar hopping in downtown Denver and had a great night. Our driver Jena was super nice and made everyone feel welcome. Everytime we hopped bars she was very quick to respond and be there to pick us up! Super great night and we will definitely be repeat customers!

Elevate Rides did right by us under tough circumstances. We booked a bus for a Red Rocks concert that was sadly canceled. Blair reached out to us to cancel our invoice and refund our deposit before the concert cancellation was even official. From start to sad finish, Blair was super responsive and helpful. Thank you for going above and beyond, and I hope we can reserve with Elevate in the future!

Response from the owner · 4 months ago

Thanks so much, Barb! As a concert goer myself, that’s exactly how I would want my transportation company to react to a canceled show, so I try and do that exact thing for our clients. We hope to work with you again in the near future.

Jena was absolutely wonderful! Took the bus with 20 of my friends for my birthday to red rocks and the whole trip was seamless. Jena was a terrific driver and hostess. Everything was taken care of and I barely had to do anything because Jena had everything on lock. Highly recommend!

Blair and the team at Elevate are incredible! We had Elevate Rides shuttle our wedding guests to and from the venue. They were great to work with - punctual, easy to communicate with, and the buses were nice and equipped with waters. Would definitely recommend them!
