Lookin for where to rent an Expeidtion or that big Expedition EL in Denver? Especially from the airport?
You found it. Right here with Winter Wagon!
Winter wagon specializes in car and suv rentals from the denver airport. But we’re not like the other guys. We specialize in vehicles that are actually ready for Colorado. Ready for the mountains.
Rent a Ford Expedition for Your Mountain Adventure
That’s really what our whole business is about. When you rent a Ford Expedition from us, you’re getting a vehicle that’s perfect for a real mountian adventure.
Why this SUV?
Because its big. It has room for your family, your friends, and all your gear. Luggage, skis, snowboards, coolers, whatever you got. The standard Expedition is already a huge three-row SUV. But then there’s the Expedition EL (Ford also calls it the Expedition MAX). This one is just… massive. You wont be cramped, even with 7 or 8 people.
This is the kind of vehicle you want for that drive up I-70 to Vail, Breckenridge, or Estes Park. You get space, comfort, and most important, you get safety and capability.
Why Rent Your Expedition from Winter Wagon?
So why rent from winter wagon? Because this is what we do.
We arent like those other giant rental places at the denver airport that make you book a “Full-Size SUV” and you might get an Expedition… or you might get somethin else.
When you book an Expedition with Winter Wagon, you get a Ford Expedition.
We are a local company. We know the mountains. We know what you need. And we know you need 4x4.
All our Ford Expeditions are 4WD.
This is a big deal. The big chains will try to rent you a 2WD (rear-wheel drive) SUV to drive into a snowstorm. We just dont think that’s right. It’s not safe. You need 4WD for Colorado winters. You need it for peace of mind, even on a steep, snowy driveway at your rental cabin.
We also make the process easy. We are focused on the denver airport (DIA). You fly in, you get your truck. No hassle, no long lines, no trying to upsell you on a bunch of stuff you dont need. We try to make it simpler.
What’s “Mountain Ready” Mean?
We say our SUVs are “mountain ready”. What does that mean?
- Guaranteed 4WD: Like we said. Every Expedition we rent has 4WD or AWD. You need this for traction in snow, ice, or even just mud.
- The Right Tires: A 4WD SUV with bad, bald tires is useless. We check our tires. We make sure they have good tread and are ready for mountain conditions. We’re not gonna rent you something that cant handle the roads.
- Space for Gear: The Expedition is built for this. With the third row folded down, you have a huge cargo area. If you get the Expedition EL, you can have the third row up for 7-8 passengers and still have a ton of space for luggage behind them.
Expedition vs. Expedition EL (MAX)
Just so you know the difference.
- Ford Expedition (Standard): A big, full-size SUV. Three rows of seats. Perfect for 6 or 7 people. If you have a smaller group (like 4-5 people), you can fold that back row down flat and the cargo space is gigantic. Perfect for ski bags, suitcases, and everything else.
- Ford Expedition EL (or MAX): This is the extended-length one. Same great SUV, just… more of it. That extra length is all in the back, behind the third row. This is the one you want if you have a big group of 7 or 8 people and all their luggage. You can actually use all the seats and bring all your stuff. It’s the ultimate road trip and ski trip machine for a big crew.
How Much Does it Cost?
So, the big question. Pricing.
Our pricing starts from $200/day.
Now, we gotta be real: this “varies depending on season.” That’s the most important part.
If you are trying to book an Expedition EL for the week between Christmas and New Year’s… it’s going to be a lot more than $200/day. That’s our busiest time. Same for peak Spring Break ski weeks in March.
But if you’re booking for a shoulder season, like in the fall or late spring, you can get some really good deals.
The best way to know? Go to our website. Put your dates in. You’ll see the exact price. We try to be super transparent. No games.
So, stop worrying about what kind of car you’re going to get at the airport. Don’t risk getting stuck with a small SUV that doesnt fit your gear or something that cant handle the snow.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many people can an Expedition or Expedition EL seat?
They both can be configured for 7 or 8 people. The 8-seater has a bench in the second row, while the 7-seater has two “captain’s chairs,” which leaves a small aisle in the middle.
I have 7 people and a lot of luggage. Will it all fit?
This is the biggest difference. A standard Expedition has very little room behind the 3rd row (like, a couple carry-ons). If you have 7-8 people and their suitcases, you MUST get the Expedition EL (or MAX). It’s almost a foot longer and has a huge amount of cargo space even with all the seats in use.
Can I fit skis or snowboards inside the Expedition?
In an Expedition EL (MAX), yes, you can usually lay them flat on the floor. In a standard Expedition, it’s very difficult unless you fold a seat down. If you get a 7-seater (with captain’s chairs), you can often slide skis down the middle aisle between the seats.
Do your Expedition rentals come with a ski rack?
Our vehicles do not typically come with ski racks. The Expedition EL is usually large enough to fit skis inside. If you rent a standard Expedition, you’ll need to use the pass-through in the 7-seater or fold down part of the rear seat.
How is the Expedition EL different from a Chevy Suburban?
They are very similar and are the main competitors! The Suburban is slightly longer and has a bit more cargo room. However, we specialize in the Expedition, which often has a higher safety rating and a powerful, more efficient EcoBoost engine. Both are great mountain vehicles.
Is the 4WD really guaranteed?
100%. This is why Winter Wagon is different. We don’t play the “or similar” game and we don’t rent 2WD SUVs for mountain driving. When you book a 4WD Expedition with us, you get a 4WD Expedition.
How many suitcases fit in an Expedition EL with all the seats up?
With all 3 rows of seats in use, the Expedition EL (MAX) has about 37 cubic feet of space. You can easily fit 5-6 large suitcases or a mix of duffel bags and carry-ons for the whole group. A standard Expedition can only fit about 2 carry-on bags in that same space.
