To cancel a trip, call 403-537-7777, option 1 or option 3 to speak with an agent.

Although you can access the automated phone line to cancel your trip 24 hours a day, we require at least two hours notice. If you do not show up for a booked trip or cancel with less than two hours notice, warning letters and service suspensions may result.

Types of Trips

We have two types of trips that you can book:

1. Casual – these trips must be booked no later than 5 p.m. the day before the trip is needed. You can book these trips up to four days in advance.

2. Regular – also called recurring trips. These trips can be scheduled to repeat on a frequency of your choosing.
