Downtown Halifax in 25 minutes, or anywhere else in the Maritimes you need to be — chauffeur in business attire, vehicle staged before you taxi in.

FBO ground-transfer realities

Why your principal needs
a pre-arranged chauffeur.

A private-aviation arrival doesn't end at the FBO door. The chauffeur is the last link in the trip — the difference between a seamless transition and a 20-minute wait beside the luggage cart while someone scrambles to find a sedan. The FBOs at Halifax Stanfield don't operate their own ground fleet; they recommend pre-arranged car service.

FBOs don't dispatch cars

Shell Aerocentre, PAL, Gateway, IMP, and CHC Helicopters provide ramp services, hangars, and crew amenities — not a ground transportation pool. There's no curb to flag down. Whatever you arrange in advance is what's waiting when the door opens.

Schedules move — by the minute

Private flights compress and slip. Our chauffeur tracks the tail number and stages before wheels-down, then waits in the FBO lounge or planeside per the operator's procedures. No re-dispatch, no surprises.

The right vehicle, ramp-ready

Executive sedan, Audi A8L, Suburban, or Escalade ESV — chosen for the principal, the crew size, the luggage, and the weather. Multi-vehicle coordination for larger groups, golf clubs, ski cases, and high-touch family arrivals.

Not just downtown

Cabot Links, Fox Harb'r, White Point, Trout Point Lodge, Wolfville's wineries, Lunenburg waterfront, Charlottetown, Moncton, Saint John — we chauffeur from the Halifax FBOs to anywhere in the Maritimes, single-trip or multi-day with the same vehicle.

For flight crews & private travelers:

"A pre-arranged ground transfer from your FBO is the single best way to keep a private trip private — direct from the cabin to the chauffeur, no terminal, no queue, no questions."

The FBOs we serve

Every fixed-base operator
at Halifax Stanfield.

Five operators handle private and rotary-wing aviation at YHZ. Premier Car Service meets aircraft at all of them — give us the FBO name on your booking and the chauffeur stages where they need to be, on the timeline you need them.

What happens if our arrival slot moves?
Give us the tail number on booking. We watch wheels-up, en-route, and wheels-down — when ATC slides you earlier or later, the curbside time follows automatically. There is no penalty for a slot change, and you do not need to call dispatch.
Which vehicles do you operate?
Cadillac Escalade ESV and Chevrolet Suburban RST for principals plus luggage and golf bags, Audi A8L for executive solo travel. Multi-vehicle coordination is available when flight crew and passengers need to depart separately.
Can you handle golf clubs, dive gear, or extra baggage?
Yes — the Escalade ESV and Suburban accommodate multiple golf travel cases, ski bags, and oversized baggage with the third row stowed. Tell us the load on booking and we will confirm the right vehicle (or send a second car) before you arrive.
Do you work with charter operators and flight departments on house account?
Yes. Charter operators, flight departments, and trip-support managers can establish a house account for consolidated monthly billing — no per-trip card capture, single statement, single point of contact. Text us at +1 782-358-5878 or email info@premiercarservice.ca to set one up.

Wheels-down at the FBO. Step into your vehicle. Go.

Book ahead with the tail number and the FBO name — the chauffeur is in position before you taxi, and the curbside time tracks every slot change automatically. Downtown Halifax or anywhere in the Maritimes.

“Our driver, Yasir, was on time in a very nice new clean Suburban. We enjoyed a safe ride from the airport to the Halifax waterfront and a friendly conversation with Yasir. Will use Premier if in the area again.”

“Excellent service and reasonable rates. Our driver Abdulrahman was fantastic taking care of everything we could have wanted. The car was impeccably clean and comfortable and the entire experience was a joy after 12 hours of airports, security, customs and Air Canada. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.”
