Calgary is the energy capital of Canada and a hub for conferences, corporate retreats, and client entertainment year-round. When your company's reputation is on the line - whether you are hosting a board of directors, shuttling executives to the BMO Centre, or entertaining clients during Stampede - professional transportation is not a luxury. It is a business requirement that reflects your organization's standards and attention to detail.
Corporate Events We Serve
Every corporate event has different transportation demands. A gala requires different logistics than a week-long conference. Here is how we approach each type.
Conferences & Conventions
The BMO Centre and Telus Convention Centre host hundreds of events annually. We coordinate airport pickups, hotel-to-venue shuttles, and VIP executive transfers for conferences ranging from fifty to five thousand attendees. Multi-day packages ensure seamless transportation throughout your entire event.
Galas & Award Ceremonies
Black-tie events demand black-tie transportation. Our executive sedans and Escalade ESVs deliver your guests in style to venues like the Hyatt Regency, Hotel Arts, and the Calgary TELUS Convention Centre. Coordinated arrivals ensure no one waits in the cold.
Holiday Parties
December is the busiest season for corporate events in Calgary. Holiday party transportation needs to be booked early. We provide group shuttles, executive transfers, and dedicated vehicles for your team so everyone arrives and departs safely. No impaired driving concerns.
Client Entertainment
Hosting clients for dinner at Rouge, drinks at the National, or a Flames game at the Saddledome? A chauffeured vehicle shows your clients that you pay attention to every detail. First impressions in business happen long before the handshake.
Board Retreats
Board meetings often include airport transfers, hotel pickups, and day trips to mountain retreats in Banff or Kananaskis. We coordinate end-to-end logistics so your board members focus on strategy, not logistics.
Site Visits & Rig Tours
Calgary's oil and gas sector frequently requires comfortable transportation for investor visits to field offices and rig sites. Our SUVs and Sprinter vans are equipped for long-distance comfort over rural Alberta roads.
Corporate Fleet Options
The right vehicle depends on your group size, the nature of the event, and the impression you want to make. Here is our corporate fleet at a glance.
| Vehicle | Capacity | From |
|---|---|---|
| Executive Sedan | 1-3 passengers | $95/hr |
| Cadillac Escalade ESV | 1-6 passengers | $125/hr |
| Sprinter Van | Up to 14 passengers | $175/hr |
| Motor Coach | 20-56 passengers | Custom quote |
Corporate Account Benefits
For businesses that rely on transportation regularly, a corporate account with Lux Limo eliminates the friction of booking, billing, and coordinating every individual trip.
Priority Booking
Corporate account holders receive priority scheduling, even during peak periods like Stampede week and holiday party season. Last-minute needs are accommodated whenever possible.
Consolidated Monthly Billing
No more individual receipts and expense reports for every trip. Receive one detailed monthly invoice with itemized trip data, cost centres, and employee names for straightforward accounting.
Dedicated Account Manager
One point of contact who knows your company's preferences, regular routes, executive requirements, and special instructions. No explaining your needs to a different person every time.
Volume Discounts
Frequent users benefit from negotiated rates that decrease as your monthly volume increases. The more you ride, the less each trip costs.
Real-World Scenarios
Scenario: Conference Pickup for 20 Executives
An energy company is hosting a two-day leadership conference at the Fairmont Palliser. Twenty executives are flying in from Toronto, Houston, and London on different flights throughout the day.
Our approach:
- Assign individual sedans for C-suite and VPs for private airport transfers
- Track all twenty flights in real time, adjusting pickup windows as delays occur
- Provide a Sprinter van for the group dinner shuttle from hotel to restaurant
- Coordinate departure transfers on the final day with a single consolidated invoice
Scenario: Client Dinner Transportation
A wealth management firm is hosting four high-net-worth clients for dinner at River Cafe on Prince's Island Park. The firm wants to make a strong impression from the first touchpoint.
Our approach:
- Cadillac Escalade ESV picks up each client from their hotel with personalized greeting
- Chauffeur waits discreetly during dinner for flexible departure timing
- Individual return transfers to each client's hotel after the event
- Billed to the firm's corporate account with the client's name never appearing on the invoice
Oil & Gas Industry Transportation
Calgary's energy sector has unique transportation requirements that generic car services cannot address. As the headquarters city for most of Canada's major oil and gas companies, Calgary executives need transportation partners who understand the industry's pace, confidentiality requirements, and geographic demands.
Rig tours and site visits require comfortable SUVs for multi-hour drives to field offices in rural Alberta. Our Escalade ESVs provide a productive workspace en route, with leather interiors, charging ports, and a quiet cabin so executives can prepare for presentations or take calls during the drive. We know the routes to Drayton Valley, Red Deer, and Grande Prairie as well as we know downtown.
International investor visits are common in Calgary's energy sector. When your company is hosting investors from Houston, Abu Dhabi, or London, the transportation experience sets the tone. Our bilingual drivers, premium vehicles, and detailed knowledge of Calgary's corporate landscape ensure your guests feel valued from the moment they land at YYC.
