From Your Calgary Door to Your Canmore Hotel
Heading from the city to the mountains? Red Mile Limousine picks you up anywhere in Calgary — a downtown hotel, your home, the office or an event venue — and drives you directly to your Canmore hotel, resort or rental, beneath the Three Sisters peaks. The vehicle is reserved for your group only, and the price is agreed before you travel.
Door to Door, Without the Rental Car
The last thing your family or travel group needs is to collect a rental car, load it in a hotel parkade and drive an unfamiliar mountain highway in winter. With Red Mile Limousine the trip starts at your own door: your chauffeur arrives at your Calgary hotel, home or office at the agreed time, loads the luggage and drives straight to Canmore.
No shared shuttle stops, no parking to find in Canmore and nobody in the group has to drive. You settle into a private vehicle as the city skyline gives way to the Bow Valley and the snow-capped peaks.

Book the Fleet for More Than a Transfer — Plan Your Full Canmore & Rockies Tour
