BIG SKY, MONTANA

Big Sky is located approximately 50 miles from the Bozeman Airport. We offer a daily scheduled service in the winter to all locations in the Big Sky area. The trip normally takes 1 hour and fifteen minutes. During the winter season, please allow up to 1½ hours.

We service all hotels in the Big Sky area, and provide transportation to all condos, townhouses and private residences as well. Please note that during the winter season, some roads become impassable due to heavy snowfall and access to your specific location may be delayed until the roads can be opened.

WEST YELLOWSTONE, MONTANA

West Yellowstone is located approximately 95 miles from the Bozeman Airport. In the winter, we offer a daily scheduled service to all locations within the city limits of West Yellowstone. Please allow up to 3 or more hours for this trip because there are often stops in Big Sky.

MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS

Mammoth Hot Springs is located approximately 100 miles from the Bozeman Airport, and about 5 miles inside the north entrance of Yellowstone National Park at Gardiner, Montana. Call for private shuttle pricing and details.

The drive to Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel is approximately 2.5 hours, depending on weather, traffic, and road conditions. Due to winter flight delays and cancellations, we strongly recommend that you arrive the day before whenever possible, especially if you are coming for a packaged tour or program with the Yellowstone Institute. See our Links page for local hotel listings and contact information for your overnight accommodations. Our shuttle can pick you up at your hotel after departing from the airport.

What are your rates and schedule to Big Sky?

Please see the Current Schedule and Rates page on our website under Airport Shuttle. During the winter season, we offer daily service to and from the Big Sky area approximately 10 times/day from about December 10th until the ski season ends. During the summer months, shuttles are by advance reservation only.

How long does it take to get to Big Sky?

Do you have car seats for children under 6?

Yes, we do. There is a $5.00 one-way charge to rent a car/booster seat. If you are scheduled on a motorcoach, there are no seat belts (which makes it impossible to secure a child seat).

What if our flight arrives late?

Please call our office at (800) 287-4759 to notify us of a delayed flight. All shuttles must depart the Bozeman Airport on time. We will make every reasonable attempt to accommodate your late arrival by scheduling you on the next available shuttle.

There is no penalty for shuttles canceled more than 48 hours from the date/time of your scheduled shuttle. No refunds are given for shuttles canceled within 48 hours of your reservation time.

How does Karst Stage ensure that I will be driven by the best commercial drivers in the business?

First, Karst has the driver go through a thorough interview and application process. We require a pre-employment drug screen and we do extensive background checks on all prospective drivers. We verify their driving record, previous employment and DOT drug and alcohol testing.
Previous employers are contacted, and former drug testing results, along with other employee behaviors, are reviewed. Once hired, Karst’s Drug and Alcohol policy exceeds the federal guidelines for CDL drivers. All Karst Stage drivers, regardless of the vehicle size, are required to have a CDL and are subject to the same training, testing, and drug and alcohol testing.

Where are you located?

Our counter is located inside the main passenger terminal on the street level in Ground Transportation.

What type of vehicle do you use? Will there be others on my shuttle?

Our daily scheduled service is a shared-ride service provided by passenger van, mini-bus, or full-sized bus, depending on location and the number of passengers scheduled on each run.

Do you have a shuttle after every arriving flight?

We have scheduled shuttles to Big Sky approximately every 1.5 hours from 10:30am – midnight during the winter season. Our shuttles to West Yellowstone are more limited. Please see the Current Schedule and Rates page on our website for further details. Summer service is by advance reservation only; no scheduled service is available. **PLEASE NOTE** Without advance reservations, some shuttles will not be available.

Do you provide private service?

Yes. Please use our Contact Us page for questions or quotes on private service.

However, with prior arrangements, we will pick up and/or drop off at the Quality Inn (formerly the Holiday Inn Express), La Quinta Inn & Suites, or the Super 8 in Belgrade on most runs to and from Big Sky, WYS, and Mammoth Hot Springs. Our only regular run that provides service from Bozeman Comfort Inn, Holiday Inn, or the Grantree Best Western is our 2:00 pm bus to Big Sky/WYS. Please call at least 48 hours prior to departure to reserve. We can also charter a vehicle from Bozeman for groups of three or more; please call for details. If you plan to overnight in Bozeman or Belgrade on arrival before you depart to your desired destination, we strongly recommend that you stay at a motel that offers courtesy shuttle service back to the airport (see our Links page for motels with courtesy shuttle service).
