What Banff-Bound Travellers Ask Before They Fly
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We track your flight number, so a delay simply moves your pickup. There is nothing to re-arrange from your end — land, clear customs, and your chauffeur will already know when to be there. If a delay is long enough to push you outside our winter daylight operating window, we will talk it through with you in advance.
Is the vehicle private?
Yes. Every transfer is exclusive to your party. There is no shared shuttle, no second pickup, and no waiting for a vehicle to fill. The flat CA$475 covers the vehicle for up to 5 passengers, not a per-seat fare.
Can we bring skis and snowboards?
Yes — ski and snowboard bags travel with you in the same vehicle. Tell us your equipment count when you book so we can plan the load with your luggage.
Are children welcome?
Absolutely. Guests travelling with young children are welcome to bring their own car seat or booster and we are happy to install it.
What about winter weather?
The Trans-Canada between Calgary and Banff is a well-maintained highway, but it is a mountain highway. We run winter tires, build extra time into winter drives, and from 1 November to 28 February we operate in daylight hours only for guest safety — YYC pickups must land no later than 3:30 PM in that window.
More detail on the arrivals procedure is on our YYC pickup rules page, and the wider picture of getting around is covered in our Banff transportation guide.
