Activity and Dinner Transfers
[/column] [/row] [row] [column md=”4″ offset_md=”2″]For all private vehicle transportation in Banff, Canmore and Lake Louise you will be picked up at your location of choice.
All activity and dinner transfers include 3 hours of wait time. This means that for the price quoted the driver will wait at the destination for you for a maximum of 3 hours. At the end of the 3 hours the driver will then return you to your desired drop off location.
If you would like to stay at the location for an hour or so longer that’s not a problem. In this case we will just add an additional charge for each additional hour. However, if you would like to go somewhere for the whole day pricing will differ from an activity/dinner transfer. For example: You wish to go to Sunshine Village for skiing/hiking for multiple hours. In this case you would be better to organize a regional transfer, which is classed as two separate legs of travel. In this case the driver will depart after dropping you off, and return only for the designated pick up time.
