NHL WINTER CLASSIC 2027 SALT LAKE CITY
For Journeys that Matter
LUXY Ride connects visitors with a professional chauffeur through our partner network for the Winter Classic in Salt Lake City. The fare is set before the trip begins and includes gratuity and tolls, so the price at booking is the price charged.
The game is scheduled for Thursday, December 31, 2026, at Rice-Eccles Stadium, and the league has described a late afternoon to early evening start. Pickup timing matters on a cold night when a full stadium empties at once.

What is LUXY Ride?
LUXY Ride is a technology platform that connects visitors with a verified chauffeur from its partner network. The booking process works the same way for a fan flying in from Denver or a Salt Lake City resident heading to the stadium.

COLD-WEATHER PLANNING
Settle the Ride Home Before the Game
An outdoor New Year's Eve game finishes in the cold, and crowds leave at once. A return ride booked in advance as its own trip settles the end of the night before it begins.
FLYING IN FROM DENVER
Fans Traveling From Colorado
Denver-area fans can fly into Salt Lake City and book the airport pickup with their flight number, so timing follows the flight. Fans extending the trip can add a Park City or Deer Valley ski weekend.
Why Book LUXY Ride for the Winter Classic
Pickup Timing Planned for a Cold Night.
Booking ahead means your chauffeur is assigned before the game, so a cold post-game exit is not spent waiting in a crowd for a ride to find you.
Flight Tracking for Fans Flying in From Denver.
Fly in from Denver, add your flight number at booking, and pickup timing adjusts automatically if the flight is delayed, with no action needed from you.
A Ride Home Booked as Its Own Trip.
Arrange your return once your plans are set, as a separate confirmed trip, so the end of a long New Year's Eve is already settled when the game ends.
A Flat Rate With Clear Event Pricing.
Event pricing may apply on game day and New Year's Eve and is always shown ahead in your quote, so you see the price before you confirm.
What to Expect
From Booking to Curbside
Pre-arranged. Flat rate. Confirmed.
Book in the LUXY Ride App or at luxyride.com. Enter your pickup, destination, date, time, and vehicle preference, plus your flight number for airport arrivals.
Receive your booking confirmation by email. A separate chauffeur confirmation follows with your assigned chauffeur's name, photo, and vehicle details before your pickup.
Stay updated on your trip. You will get a text when your chauffeur departs, plus a viewable ETA for pickup. For airport arrivals, flight tracking adjusts pickup timing automatically.
Your chauffeur is waiting when you arrive, ready to help with your bags. Plan extra time on game day, since stadium traffic and the cold both slow a New Year's Eve evening.
