World Cup 2026 is bringing the world's biggest sporting event to North America, and Calgary is ready to celebrate.

Why Book Group Transportation to World Cup Watch Parties?
Problem 1: Parking Nightmare
Downtown Calgary parking is limited and expensive. Event parking premiums during World Cup will make it worse. Factor in meters, time limits, and towing risks.
Problem 2: Ride-Share Surge Pricing
Uber/Lyft will surge 2-5x during World Cup matches. Wait times of 30-60+ minutes after big games. No guaranteed availability when you need it most.
Problem 3: Drinking and Driving
Alberta DUI laws are strict with checkpoint enforcement during major events. Watch parties and celebrations go hand-in-hand. Why risk it?
Problem 4: Coordinating Groups
Multiple cars means multiple parking spots and meeting up challenges. Someone always has to be the designated driver and miss the fun.
The Solution: LuxLimo Group Transportation
- One vehicle, everyone together
- Door-to-door service
- Fixed pricing (no surge)
- Designated chauffeur
- Return trip included
- No parking hassles
