Does Calgary Have On Demand Limo Service?

As the debate to allow ride-sharing apps like Uber to operate in Calgary continues, the city is looking into easing up on regulations for on-demand limo services. Whether or not the on-demand limo service is green-lighted before the start of the Calgary Stampede, sedan services offered by National Limo will continue to provide luxury transportation in and around the city. Continue reading this week’s blog to find out more about the proposed bylaws for on-demand limo services in Calgary.

A new proposal for on-demand limo services would allow limo companies and sedan services to operate in a similar fashion to taxi cabs. Limo companies already charge a premium rate; however, the new proposal has lowered the rate (which is still higher than the standard taxi rate). Essentially the on-demand service would be utilized by patrons during peak hours or when it’s hard to hail a taxi due to an event such as the Calgary Stampede. The new proposal would require Limo companies to increase safety measures, create detailed driver logs and provide extra training to their drivers.

Whether or not the city decides to move forward with on-demand Limo service, significant differences exists between services offered by ride sharing apps and luxury sedan services. A level of uncertainty exists with ride sharing apps. Your ride may not be clean, you don’t know if your driver has been screened or passed criminal background checks and, most importantly, if they are reliable.  Booking a car service with National Limo ahead of time alleviates those concerns.
