Does your trip to Revelstoke Mountain Resort begin with flying to Calgary International Airport? If so, you’ll have a good distance to travel to Revelstoke. The nearly 5-hour drive is lengthy, and you may encounter snags because winter weather often forces road closures in the area.
Your best (and safest) bet is a private hired transportation service who provides professional drivers. Pros who know the region will know how to safely navigate hazardous road conditions.
Why standard shuttle services are not ideal
Private transportation providers are more deeply invested in their business. As a result, they ensure that chauffeurs have passed the most rigid driving requirements and background checks.
Private service ensures non-stop travel in privacy. Only those passengers you actually invited along for the ride will join you.
Private service will operate according to your schedule, and any provider worth their salt will allow for flight delays, promptly arriving to pick you up once your flight finally arrives.
