Calgary International Airport (YYC) is about 140 km — roughly 1 hr 30 min — from Banff. Your driver meets you in arrivals and drives only your group.
How it works
Three simple steps. No strangers, no extra stops.
- 1
Book your transfer
Reserve your Calgary Airport to Banff transportation online. No deposit — you pay when you board.
- 2
We track your flight
Give us your flight number. If you land early or late, your driver adjusts to your real arrival time.
- 3
Meet your driver at YYC
Your driver meets you in arrivals (bus bays 1–36) and takes your group privately and directly to your hotel.
Why CA$475? It's the price of the whole vehicle, not a seat: airport pickup, room for luggage, flight tracking, and a direct drive to your accommodation without sharing the vehicle or stopping at other hotels.

"I'm Stephanie, founder and CEO. I was born and raised in Edmonton — go Oilers! — and I've always loved driving and long road trips. These days my favourite drive is the one into the Rockies, and my favourite part of the job is making people feel taken care of from the moment they land."

What travellers say about the airport pickup
“We used Bow Valley Chauffeur from Calgary airport to Banff return. The driver met us on arrival, sending clear directions via WhatsApp on where to meet. Great communication when arranging departure and navigated some seriously difficult road conditions in a major spring snowstorm with ease to get us back safely to YYC. Thanks for the service, highly recommend.”
“BVC was fantastic and we would use them again in a heartbeat. The driver picked us up at Calgary airport on the in-bound, then at the hotel in Banff VERY EARLY on the outbound. On time, plenty of drinks and snacks in the SUV, and I'd highly recommend BVC!”
“Bow Valley Chauffeurs were amazing and efficient. The driver arranged everything for us to collect me and then my family from Calgary and take us all to Banff. On the return journey I had a skiing injury, and the driver helped me into the terminal to the Air Canada desk. The company were super helpful all the way through. I would definitely recommend the driver and the team. We really appreciated their professionalism and kindness and would definitely use them again. Many thanks.”
