Calgary International Airport (YYC) Transfers
Private chauffeur transfers at Calgary International, Calgary.
Calgary International is run by the Calgary Airport Authority - a not-for-profit, non-share capital corporation incorporated under Alberta's Regional Airport Authorities Act - which describes itself as responsible for the safe and efficient operation of one of Canada's busiest air transportation hubs.
The same Authority also runs Springbank, west of the city, and the division between the two is useful to know when you are arranging ground transport. Airline passengers arrive here. Light aircraft, training flights and a good deal of the region's business and rotary traffic go to Springbank instead, which has its own page on this site.

How pickup works at Calgary International
Pickups at Calgary International are meet and greet. Your chauffeur meets you at the arrivals curb with a name sign and takes the luggage. Meeting inside the terminal is available on request, at an extra charge.
Give us the flight number when you book and our dispatch team checks your flight's arrival time and adjusts your pickup. Every airport pickup includes 60 minutes of complimentary waiting counted from the moment the aircraft lands, not from the pickup time you entered, so a slow bag or a long customs queue does not start costing you before you have even appeared.
A Calgary trip is arranged by quote rather than paid for on the site. Online booking needs one end of the trip to be in Ontario, and a trip within Alberta does not meet that. Call +1 (888) 627-5313 or send a quote request, and the fare is fixed in Canadian dollars and confirmed before anything is agreed.
The included waiting period and the per-minute rate after it are set out in clause 4 of our Terms.

Questions about Calgary International
How close is the airport to downtown Calgary?
About 17 km by road from the airport to downtown Calgary.
Can you take me on to Banff or Canmore?
Yes, by quote. Parks Canada puts Banff 128 km west of Calgary, reached on the Trans-Canada Highway. Both ends are in Alberta, so the trip is quoted rather than booked online, at a fixed fare in Canadian dollars agreed before you fly in.
What is included if my flight is late?
Sixty minutes of complimentary waiting on every airport pickup, running from when the aircraft actually lands. Adding the flight number lets dispatch see that landing time and move the car rather than waiting for you to call.
Should I be flying into Springbank instead?
Only if you are on a light aircraft, a training flight or a helicopter. Springbank is the Calgary Airport Authority's general aviation field; scheduled airline passengers arrive here.
