COVID-19 Customer Memo

In this time of unprecedented challenges and uncertainties, I would like to thank our entire team and our loyal clients who have been with us for years. The health and safety of B-Line’s passengers, employees and corporate partners is our top priority. Due to the COVID-19’s impact on Colorado and the Vail area, we are taking steps to proactively safeguard our operations. B-Line will be adhering to all Center for Disease Control (CDC), State of Colorado, and Eagle County Covid-19 guidelines.

B-Line’s cleaning standards have always been above a touch above, and we are raising these standards for your safety. Our staff is giving full attention to every vehicle prior to pick up, using industrial-grade cleaners and following established protocols to make sure every surface is properly disinfected. However, as our vehicles do have different groups of passengers getting on and off throughout the day, passengers are advised to treat the vehicles as public spaces and take all necessary precautions.
The following are a few changes to our regular service:

  • Sanitizing of touch points on luggage prior to loading into vehicle
  • Offering hand sanitizer upon entrance of vehicle
  • Restricting seating in the front passenger area “shotgun” seat
  • Chauffeur and guests are required to wear protective face covering inside vehicles
  • The removal of all printed and reading materials
  • Removal of guest area coolers (waters are handed out and sanitized by chauffeur)

We are committed to stand by our core values of Safety, Luxury, and Reliability while managing all your travel needs. With your safety in mind, we will provide the same personalized touch you have come to expect, while limiting the critical “touch” points.

We are listing our updated processes and protocols in detail below. Thank you in advance for your understanding and be prepared to adjust these processes as we all work through this together.

Sincerely,

Nathan Pippett
