Another Whistler Destination Management Company?

Many people ask us if Transportation Whistler offers full destination management services in Whistler, BC. The answer is an emphatic and resounding “no”. We know transportation and we focus our attention on making sure that your group or conference gets a quality, seamless and cost-effective transportation solution. Conference transportation is often memorable for all the wrong reasons. At Transportation Whistler we make sure that your transportation is memorable only because of the view.

In his book on business effectiveness Good to Great, Jim Collins describes a concept he calls the Hedgehog Principal. Collins’ idea is that for any company to succeed in customer service or business effectiveness they should focus their attention on doing what they can be the best in the world at. The hedgehog will never be a great swimmer, runner or flier but the hedgehog digs and is the best in the world at digging. At Transportation Whistler we have taken the hedgehog principal to heart. We are your full service Vancouver / Whistler transportation concierge, provider and manager.

If you’re a Vancouver or Whistler Destination Management Company (DMC) and want your transportation managed effectively and inexpensively, we will happily consult on your conferences. If you are a conference organizer looking for a DMC we’ll happily refer you to some great companies that specialize in Whistler, BC or Vancouver, BC.

There is no commitment (financial or otherwise) for Transportation Whistler to provide a Request for Proposal (RFP). Let us help make your Vancouver and Whistler transportation robust and effective. We look forward to working with you!

Whistler Car Hire / Rental: Summer Good. Winter Bad!

Executive Summary

  • To the best of our knowledge It is impossible to rent snow tire equipped vehicles at Vancouver International Airport
  • Snow falling on highway 99 is usually wet and temperatures are often hovering around freezing. This can produce very treacherous winter driving condition on short notice.
  • Even if you are an experienced winter driver, you do *NOT* want to be driving on highway 99 during, or after, a winter storm in a rental car with “all season” tires. You are begging for trouble and you may get ticketed, and/or turned back to Vancouver at Squamish.
  • Checkout all your options for getting from Vancouver Airport to Whistler, Vancouver Downtown Hotels to Whistler and SeaTac Airport to Whistler.

Recommend Reading For First Time Whistler Visitors

I was surfing around and stumbed across the surprisingly comprehensive "An Unofficial Guide to Whistler" and I thought it was worth sharing. There is some great information in here for people that are planning their first trip to Whistler. Highly recommended reading.
