When Cayman Carter’s family purchased a home on the outskirts of downtown Steamboat Springs, they had one frustration: securing a ride from the Yampa Valley Regional Airport was not always easy. As a result, Carter is about to launch Auto Hangars which will offer a place to store cars at the airport on a permanent basis.

Next month, the first 54 garages will be available, with a total of 285 units in the plan. “We anticipate having all 54 leased by August/September and hope to begin construction of phase two this fall,” Carter said.

The garages come in two sizes and each one is equipped with a car battery tender and an electrical outlet. Clients have the option of an 11” wide, 22” deep, and 10” tall for $5,400 per year or a larger space at 11” wide, 25.5” deep, and 12” tall for $6,000 per year.

The company will have two parking spaces in front of the terminal which will serve as the drop off spot for a client’s car. Customers will text their anticipated arrival time in Hayden before take off and their car will be delivered, essentially to the door.

A clubhouse equipped with a seating area, TV, internet, and refreshments will serve as a lounge for clients after they check in for a departing flight.

“Homeowners are going to love the convenience of having a safe place to keep their car long term at the airport,” Carter said. “We are taking it a step further to ensure they have the best possible experience when leaving or arriving at the airport in Hayden.”
