Services by 4 Aces Taxi - Special Events & Conferences in Canmore Banff"

In order to ensure the success of your event or conference, our priority is to provide you with the most relevant information. It is important to mention that we have no affiliations with any facility. As a tourism company, we offer transportation as an add-on service to cater to our visitors. Our primary goal is to provide you with the best information for your research.

The total cost will be influenced by factors such as the specific needs of your guests, the number of vehicles required, the destinations for both the beginning and end of the trip, the size of your group, and your preferred level of efficiency. We are happy to fulfill any special requests you may have. Keep in mind that our transparent flat rate pricing is a more economical option compared to the upscale luxury buses available locally, allowing you to stay within your budget while still receiving quality service. We also only require booking for the time of service you need, vs having to book several vehicles for hours and have them sitting around, costing you extra expenses in your budget.

Here is four strategies that we use to help our guest event organizer use or have foundation to create their own version that suits their needs better.

 1.  Option A " Basic" = On demand system, call as needed and we will keep your location on our list.  Normal taxi fare rates apply, which your guests would pay directly to driver and you will be put into the queue as you call vs all the other events in town.  This is the most unpredictable option, lowest cost option, but there could be numerous parties calling, leaving your wait times between 10 mins to 1 hour. 

 2.  Option B " Value" = You would purchase  bulk number of passes to give your guests , ensuring your guests are completely looked after.  The passes have no expiry date and can be used at anytime, even if not on the wedding date. This is a good setup if your guests are here for a few days and you wanted to look after all their transportation or give them discounted transportation back to the Calgary YYC Airport or other Attractions to see in the area while they are visiting the area for your Wedding. This would be an on demand system as well, but we would  be checking every 15 mins as we drive by your wedding facility & always keep on vehicle within 10 mins, as we give priority premium VIP calling into our Queue.  The passes would be  twice the price of the base taxi fare in town and this would cover all costs per each trip including wait times, extra stops, gratuity & taxes. Normal rates for Downtown area of Canmore are $13, Silvertip area goes to $27.50    This option also gives you the opportunity to have multiple vehicles showing up at once if your guests all leave at once.  This setup creates your venue has the favorite destination for our drivers and gives you priority VIP over all other requests. This Option pre-determines your net price per ride and makes for lower total price in most cases vs Option C with min 3 Hour Booking

3.  Option C "Premium" = we have dedicated mini vans and drivers for your event and would be by the Hour rates.     The driver would be sitting outside of your event for the times that you specify.  Everything is covered in this package so your guests are looked after.   We also keep eye on the flow of your guests and provide additional vehicles as needed based on the timing of your dedicated vehicle vs the flow of your guests looking for transportation.  The moment the vehicle that is waiting outside your venue is being loaded up with guests, we dispatch the next vehicle to come attend the facility. This way you have a dedicated vehicle outside the venue all the time, even when we have other vehicles transporting your guests back to their hotels & VRBO's. This package also helps when all your guests leave at the same time at the end of the night, has we would send all our vehicles to your facility has needed. We have pricing at $150/hr for min of 3 hours for Downtown Locations & for locations such has Nordic Centre, Stewart Creek, & Silvertip and any others on the outskirts of City of Canmore Limits, the pricing is $190/hr min 3 hours. This strategy ensures that every time the vehicle that is at your facility, notifies the next vehicle to arrive to pick up your next guests. Or at least be outside your venue till more guests wish to have a ride. This package covers all rides within the City Limits of Canmore, plus any stops needed along the way to your next location.

4.  Option D "Lone Ranger" = This is the reservation of one fully dedicated minivan for your event at $80/hr. Min 3 Hours. Keep in mind that with only 1 minivan, that guests maybe waiting when they all call at the same time, since it takes min 15 mins to 30 mins to do a round trip from the Wedding Venue to any Hotel Location in town.

Extra Add-ons. We give any one using our services from option B or option C, for Weddings, Conferences or Group Booking the exclusive option to be able to purchase bulk number of passes for their function, plus for anything before or after the event for their guests. These extra bulk passes can be used at anytime with no expiry date and on any type of ride. For example, say you guest has a pass from your wedding that he or she didn't use and they needed transportation to the Calgary Airport. They can apply the full pass value towards the trip. Even if the guests come back later to Canmore the passes would be honored. 

   If you have any questions or further details needed, let us know.   I hope i have covered the various options properly. 

Thanks for your inquiry. 

Here is

4 Aces Taxi has the best value for price when dealing with your private events & conference groups due to the lower costs of operating mini vans vs the luxury high vehicles the other companies offer. Our booking policy also has shorter time windows so you are only paying for when you need the service, vs having to book for a 1/2 day or full day service. We find that regardless of size of your group, that not everyone leaves at the same time and we see the other companies moving the same number of people per trip, even though they can accommodate way more people. Waiting for the larger vehicles increases the time for the vehicle to come back for the next group of people. THus requiring more than one luxury vehicle shuttles and increasing the costs even higher. 4 Aces Taxi has better flexibility for quick efficient valued service. We can work with a lot of different options to move your guests.

4 Aces Taxi is just one of our outlets in our Tourism Business. Our goal is to provide you with the all the information and options available for you to make the right choices. We value the information provided for your research and preparations before arriving in the Canmore Banff area for your Private Event or Conference. We have listed the transportation options so you have the best choices available for your requirements & budget you are looking to achieve. All the companies listed will provide great service regardless of who you choose. Again our goal is to keep you informed and provide you with the right information with our Tourism Company that will provide you the best service. We only list the companies that we feel will be suitable to achieve the results you are looking for.

Yes, we want to make sure you get the most efficient, value and plan for your event. We are also recommending other transportation companies besides 4 Aces Taxi, has when dealing with larger groups. Having several options for your event will allow the better efficiency of moving all your guest in the shortest amount of time. We find that larger group events get stuck when dealing with just one company due to the timing turn around to come back for the next group of people. Also you have to factor in the overall cost of using a taxi service, vs a limo bus or luxury shuttle. We find the luxury shuttles take longer to load all the guests and slower to make the turn around for the next group. Plus the added cost of needing more than one luxury shuttle for only 2 hours. Most Luxury Shuttles require booking for the whole day or larger deposits.

By obtaining a quote from premier transportation providers in Canmore for your Private Event or Conference, you can assess their communication style from the outset. Evaluate their offerings for your desired date, inquire about guest transport duration, vehicle requirements, and company policies. Compare each provider objectively to identify the most suitable option based on your specific needs. Price ranks as the final consideration among a spectrum of ten factors for decision-making.

It is a common scenario where a transportation provider or event planner sources only 1 vehicle from a single company, leading to prolonged waits for the majority of guests seeking transportation to their subsequent location.

This results in an influx of guests reaching out to alternative transportation services and over calling from all the guests for other services. Once the other last minutes taxis that where called discover that the occasion has already been arranged with a complimentary shuttle included as part of the event, all other transportation services proceed with their regular reservations, leaving the attendees stranded at their event. Too many times, taxis are called and guests cancel the ride upon arrival resulting in loss of rides on every busy evenings. This then make the companies not help out at that facility at all and all your guests are left stranded waiting for what ends up being the "true total time" required to move all your guests that was miscalculated or over promised in the quotes and early communication prior to the event.

All parties frequently underestimate the total time required for loading each vehicle, driving to specified locations, unloading guests, and returning to the facility. With a high volume of weekend events, it is crucial to be adequately prepared when selecting a vendor. Failure to do so often results in significant issues, as many guests resort to alternative transportation methods after being left stranded by taxi services they initially contacted for assistance. Consequently, the companies have ceased offering support at the facilities due to this recurring problem. To ensure that you receive the appropriate service within your budget constraints, carefully review all details and confirm that the chosen company can deliver the promised service without overcommitting.
