Direct Private Car Service: Calgary Airport to Lake Louise
The drive from the airport to the lake is quite a long one. It takes two hours to cross the one hundred and eighty km path. Do not turn a two-hour drive into a four-hour bus tour. We offer a direct ride that saves you so much of your time. You can skip the long wait and get straight to your fun trip.
We pick you up at the gate and drive straight to the lake. This is the best way to start your trip to the big peaks. You avoid the stress of a shared ride with far too many people. Trust us to get you there safely and fast on the main road. The highway is long, but our cars make the trip feel very short. You will love the views as we drive west to the high hills.
The "Ski Express": Why Direct is Better than Shuttle
A bus will stop many times before you get to the lake view. You have to wait for other people to load all their heavy bags. Then you stop in the town of Canmore to drop off more folks. Next, you stop at five hotels in Banff before you reach the end. This adds hours to your day that you could spend on the snow.
But we'll load your bags and hit the big road right away now. You wake up at the hotel while others are still on the bus. We save you at least ninety minutes on your travel day. That is more time for you to ski or relax by the fire. Why waste your time on a bus when you can ride in style?
Start Your Vacation Immediately (Privacy & Comfort)
You feel tired after a five-hour flight from your hometown today. You do not want to sit in a loud bus with many strangers. Our cars offer you a quiet place to rest your head and relax. You can drink cold water and lean back in a soft leather seat.
Also, we have glass that keeps the sun out and gives you privacy. You can set the heat or cold to your own liking right now. It feels great to have the whole car to yourself today. This is the best way to rest before you hit the ski slopes. You deserve a smooth ride after a long day in the busy sky.

Our Fleet – Luxury Comfort for Short Hops
The "Skier's Guarantee": Oversized Luggage & Gear

Fits 6 Passengers + 6 Ski Bags (No Squeezing)
We have cars that are huge and fit all your stuff with ease. Our big SUVs can hold six people and six large bags at once. We also fit hard golf cases and double ski bags with no issue. The long car body means the gear goes in the back or on top.

Direct to the Hill? (Lake Louise Ski Resort Drop-Off)
Some guests want to go straight to the snow to catch fresh powder. We can take you directly to the chair lift if you want. We drop your bags at the hotel later while you enjoy skiing. This lets you chase the snow without wasting a single moment.
It is a great option for those who love skiing very much. You get a full day on the hill, even on travel days. We make it easy to mix your travel with your sport of choice. Just let us know your plan, and we will make it happen.
