Planning a successful conference requires you to see your event through the eyes of an attendee. One of the biggest complaints among travelers is having to plan their transportation. However, you can take away this extra burden and enhance the experience of conference attendees by chartering a shuttle service for routine connections between conference events or arrange for airport transfers or sightseeing tours. You can even go the extra mile if you have a large number of conference attendees coming in from a nearby city and arrange for a few coaches to bring out of town delegates to the host city.

Many of our passengers use our coaches for business trips. The low cost and ability to work while traveling to their destination are great advantages to using Red Arrow.

Business travelers sometimes have a hard time getting to all their clients. Some could take a bus to and from Calgary to Edmonton, but getting into town proved to be rather difficult, if not impossible. Without a way to get into town after taking a ride on the coach, there was no way to see business clients for the day. It sure would have been nice to have a car booked and ready to use right when you got off the coach.

Multitasking has gone to a new level — today, professionals are writing emails to one client while on a conference call with another, all the while, trying to find a few seconds between that conversation to consume their lunch. If this sounds like your everyday struggle, we have a solution to the madness! Instead of rushing off to join the parking lot that can be our roadways during rush hour, why not maximize your travel time by traveling via a luxury coach?
