Corporate Transfer Services in Calgary: How Company Ground Travel Should Work

Account billing, tracked flights, vetted chauffeurs and one number that answers. What a corporate ground transport programme looks like when it is set up properly, and what it costs you when it is not.

Most companies do not have a ground transport problem until the afternoon they do: a client lands early and nobody is there, a roadshow runs late and the next meeting is across town, an executive assistant spends forty minutes chasing a rideshare receipt for an expense claim. Ground transport is invisible when it works and expensive in time when it does not.

What a corporate programme actually gives you

One account, one invoice. Rides booked by anybody you authorise, billed monthly against a purchase order, with cost centre coding on each line. No employee expense claims, no personal cards, no receipt chasing.

Fixed rates agreed in advance. A quoted price for each route, held whatever the weather or the demand. No surge pricing on the evening it snows, which is precisely the evening it matters.

Flight tracking on every airport booking. Your visitor lands ninety minutes late; the pickup moves with them. Nobody rebooks, nobody pays a no-show, nobody stands in an arrivals hall.

Vetted, insured, professional chauffeurs. Commercially licensed, police checked, driver abstract on file and reviewed. Not a gig app.

Dispatch that answers. A number that a human picks up, at any hour, when a flight diverts to Edmonton or a meeting overruns by two hours.

The services companies actually book

  • Airport transfers to and from Calgary International, for staff, clients, board members and candidates.
  • Point to point in the city, between offices, sites, hotels and the convention centre.
  • Roadshows and multi-stop days, with the vehicle held between meetings rather than rebooked at each one.
  • Conference and event shuttles, moving delegates between hotels and venues on a schedule.
  • Client hosting, including day trips to Banff, Canmore and Lake Louise.
  • Hourly charter for a day where the itinerary will change and everybody knows it.
  • Intercity runs to Edmonton, Red Deer, Lethbridge and Medicine Hat.

Duty of care, which is the part procurement asks about

If your organisation puts an employee or a visitor into a vehicle, you carry a responsibility for what happens in it. A corporate programme lets you answer the questions that follow: who was driving, what was their licence status, was the vehicle inspected, was it insured commercially, and can you produce the record.

We hold that record. Licences, abstracts, police checks, commercial insurance and vehicle inspections are on file for every chauffeur and every car, and we will produce them for your procurement review.

Reporting

Monthly statements by cost centre, by department, by traveller or by project code, however you need to see it. Useful at budget time and considerably more useful when finance asks what the travel line went on.

Getting set up

Setting up an account takes one conversation. We agree the routes you use and quote them, agree billing terms and cost centre structure, and give you a booking method that suits how your team works: email, phone or a named account manager.

There is no minimum spend and no monthly fee. You pay for the rides you take.

Talk to us about a corporate account. Tell us roughly how often you move people and where, and we will come back with a rate card.
