There are a few new COVID cautions- bookings 24 hours in advance. There is a partition between the driver and the rear seat. 3 passenger limit. No passengers in the front seat. Masks required. All surfaces disinfected after each trip. Biohazard filter in use. Invoices through email and CC payment only. Driver does not carry change.

*The plexiglass partition was manufactured to order by Bednark Studios and is made of the same clear plexi used for face shields in hospitals.

Door handles, seat belt latches, and window controls are disinfected after every trip. P-100 filter is in bioweapon defense mode during each trip to help insure fresh clean air circulating in and out of the cabin.

Masks required. You are not the only person to ride in the back seat. There is no guarantee that the person who rode in that seat prior to you was COVID free. This is for your protection. Masks required.

Texting at least 24 hours in advance insures that the car will be fully charged and disinfected for your ride. Texting also gives a written record of your reservation, pickup and drop off locations and time. Please include flight numbers in your request. Please include your email address in your request. Please include your name or company name in your request.

There is a 3 passenger limit because there are only 3 seat belts in the back seat. If you have bagged skis that takes away one seat.

Invoices through Square. This gives a written record of your reservation. It is only “Confirmed” when you have been texted the word “Confirmed”. Confirmations are not given over the phone.

Travel Safe.

Thank you for your kind attention,

Ziska Childs

Owner Z3RO-G Limo.

Train to Tesla

I love driving for the Aspen Ideas Festival .

Not only are my riders articulate , engaged and curious they also tend to be very conscious of environmental issues. It’s no surprise that some speakers are choosing to travel to the Festival via train instead of by airplane.

Here are a few pix of the Amtrak station in Glenwood Springs. where the California Zephyr stops on it’s San Francisco to Chicago run.

The last time I took this train from Denver to Glenwood it was in the Spring and I saw 6 bald eagle nests along the river.

That’s worth slowing down your trip just a little. So if you can’t take a ride in a Tesla- take the train.

Visitors from Oz

I was my pleasure to drive a family from Australia for Christmas week. The whole “snow at Christmas” was a new experience for the kids and we even got a little dusting for a “White Christmas”. They sent an email which I’m posting here.. with permission.

“”We enjoyed everything about the Z3ro-G Limo service including Ziska’s knowledge of the area and the quality of the ride (we want a Tesla now!). This private limo service made our stay easy and comfortable. We would recommend Ziska and the Telsa Limo service to any and every traveler to Aspen and its surrounds.”

High praise indeed- but the best was the Easter Egg from Mr. Musk- a little Santa Sleigh with reindeer on the dashboard…. and the Mars Rover… which actually switched on one morning and did a little spin…

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a fantastic New Year to all….

week 1

Uber Tesla in Aspen

“This is the nicest Uber I’ve ever been in…wow a Tesla” Yep, those were the first words from almost every one of my 59 rides last week. I have to agree. I love my Tesla. I love to share that love with my riders.

Summing up the first week as an Uber driver in Aspen… well, it ain’t New York. FYI, yes, I did drive a cab in New York in the 80’s and some things are the same and some things are very different.

The riders have been terrific (especially Cabo the Cocker Spaniel- what a cutie- sorry- no pix Cabo is shy). They’ve been a diverse crowd and that’s what we expect in Aspen. Riders came from 5 Continents China, Colombia, France, Pakistan, Australia, Canada …

…. visitors from all over the USA, Floridians escaping the snowbirds, Texas Oil Company guys checking out the electric car, Los Angelenos doing the  last minute round trip to LA before Christmas , and many from my old stomping grounds- folks from NYC (“Have you eaten at Red Farm on Hudson?” “Yes!” “The oysters with Myer Lemon!” followed by a moment of silence as we both remember that appetizer.. which I tell you…is … oh my.)

So wait- what about the Tesla in the snow you say? My 2013 Model S isn’t all wheel and the roads have been pretty darn slick. Yep, I need to channel my 1960’s driving style and slow down a bit and use a little more caution but this is by far the best rear wheel drive vehicle I’ve ever driven. In fact that’s a quote from one of my riders as we were driving on Owl Creek road “This is the best rear wheel drive car I’ve ever been in.”  That it is.

I’ve made trips to Eagle Airport and Beaver Creek when the planes were delayed. Thank you to my very patient riders who opted to wait for a recharge in Glenwood Springs at the Tesla Supercharger.

The major difference between driving in NYC and Aspen? Well, while the car is recharging at the Rio Grande garage I can ride the gondola for a top to bottom on Ajax with a quick stop to grab a coffee and strudel at Bonnies  and then go back to driving.

Look for the Z3RO-G plates – your Uber Tesla in Aspen.

Those lovely fat powder skis went on the ski rack and off we went to Highlands. Hope you had some great laps on the bowl guys!

Here’s a quick 2015  youtube of Highlands Bowl (pretty close to conditions yesterday).
