Hourly chauffeur service in Halifax: YHZ, the waterfront, the Navy, Dalhousie, Peggy's Cove and the wineries on the Toronto standard

Halifax, on the Toronto account

Halifax is the Atlantic's capital and the desk's Toronto accounts' stop for the Navy and the Irving shipyard's frigate program, the offshore energy and the ocean-technology companies of the Bedford Institute and the COVE campus, the province's government at Province House, the universities - Dalhousie above all, and Saint Mary's, King's, the Mount and NSCAD - the QEII Health Sciences Centre and the IWK, the banks' and the insurers' regional offices in the waterfront towers, and, from May to October, the cruise season at Pier 21 and the visitors who want Peggy's Cove and Lunenburg and the wine route. A client who keeps a chauffeur by the hour in Toronto lands at YHZ and finds the same thing waiting through the LimousineWorldwide.Directory network's vetted Halifax operator: the same three-hour minimum, the same flat rate, the same meet, one invoice. The Canada hub explains the network; the pillar page the hourly product; this page is Halifax.

YHZ, and the meet

Halifax Stanfield International at Enfield is thirty-five kilometres and thirty-five minutes from downtown on Highway 102, forty-five in the afternoon peak at the Bedford Highway and the bridges, and the local chauffeur meets a Toronto arrival at the arrivals hall with the plate and the name, thirty minutes' waiting on a domestic flight and forty-five on an international one included, as the Pearson page describes; YHZ's pre-arranged ground-transport curb is the car's place, and the Toronto flight lands at 10 am Atlantic with the hour lost on the way east.

The waterfront, the Navy and the business day

Downtown Halifax's towers along the waterfront and Barrington and Hollis - the Nova Centre and its convention centre, the Purdy's Wharf towers on the harbour, the banks' and the law firms' towers on Barrington and Lower Water, the Queen's Marque development, the Maritime Centre - Province House on Hollis and the departments around it, the Navy's Stadacona base and the dockyard, CFB Halifax's headquarters and the Irving shipyard's frigate and patrol-vessel program on the harbour's north end, the Bedford Institute of Oceanography and the COVE ocean-technology campus in Dartmouth across the bridges, Dalhousie's campus on the peninsula's south end, the Burnside industrial park's logistics and technology companies in Dartmouth, and the offshore companies' offices: an as-directed day of six to nine hours with the chauffeur waiting on Hollis or Lower Water between meetings is the booking the desk's accounts make, and the roadshow page plans a day across the peninsula, Dartmouth's Burnside and the shipyard with the two bridges' timing built in. The dockyard's and the shipyard's security gates have their own rules, confirmed on the booking.

Dalhousie, the universities and the QEII

Dalhousie University's Studley and Carleton campuses on the peninsula - the residences on LeMarchant and South Streets, the medical and dental schools beside the hospitals, the Rebecca Cohn Auditorium for convocation and the Dalhousie Arts Centre's concerts - Saint Mary's on Robie, King's College beside Dal, Mount Saint Vincent in Bedford, NSCAD on the waterfront, and the QEII Health Sciences Centre's Halifax Infirmary and Victoria General sites and the IWK children's hospital beside them: a Toronto family's move-in in September or convocation in May is the campus routine with the local operator's SUV and Sprinter - Dalhousie's Toronto enrolment is the largest of any university outside Ontario - and a patient's referral or a family's visits are the medical chauffeur page's product with the local chauffeur waiting at the hospital's entrance. Dalhousie's calendar sets the dates.

A visitor's Halifax, by the hour

The waterfront boardwalk from Pier 21 to Casino Nova Scotia - the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic and its Titanic gallery, the Halifax Seaport Farmers' Market on Saturday, the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21, the Queen's Marque and the Bicycle Thief's patio - the Citadel's noon gun and its 78th Highlanders, the Public Gardens, the Halifax Central Library on Spring Garden Road, the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia and its Maud Lewis house, Point Pleasant Park, the Hydrostone's shops in the north end, the Fairview Lawn cemetery's Titanic graves, and Dartmouth's ferry and its Alderney Landing: a six- to eight-hour tourist day in the SUV with the local chauffeur's order and the car waiting at each; Discover Halifax has the seasons.

Peggy's Cove, Lunenburg and the South Shore

Peggy's Cove's lighthouse on its granite forty-five minutes south-west on Highway 333, Lunenburg's UNESCO old town and the Bluenose II an hour and a half down the 103, Mahone Bay's three churches on the way, Chester's yachts, and the South Shore's beaches at Crystal Crescent and Queensland: the Peggy's Cove and Lunenburg day is the Halifax booking every Toronto visitor and every cruise passenger wants, an eight- to nine-hour full-day booking in the SUV - Peggy's Cove at 9 before the coaches, the coast road to Mahone Bay, lunch in Lunenburg, the Bluenose if she is in, the 103 home by 5 - and the local chauffeur knows the Peggy's Cove lot's summer-weekend rules and where the coaches are not.

The wine route, and the Annapolis Valley

The Annapolis Valley's wineries an hour north-west on Highway 101 - Benjamin Bridge's sparkling, Luckett's and its phone box, Domaine de Grand Pré, Lightfoot & Wolfville, Gaspereau's and the Wolfville route - with the Bay of Fundy's tides at Hall's Harbour and the Grand-Pré national historic site, and the apple blossoms in late May and the harvest in October: a wine day is the Niagara wine-tour page's routine on the Atlantic, eight hours in the SUV with the local chauffeur as the designated driver and the cases in the boot, and the Wine Growers Nova Scotia map is the planning tool.

The cruise season, the Scotiabank Centre and the evening

Pier 21's and Pier 22's cruise terminals - the ships that call from May to October on the New England and Canada itineraries, the passengers who have eight hours in port and want Peggy's Cove - make the cruise-day booking the desk's Halifax summer: the pier meet, the Peggy's Cove half-day or the waterfront and Citadel morning, the drop at the pier an hour before all-aboard. The Scotiabank Centre on Brunswick Street - the Mooseheads, the concerts, the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo in July - the Neptune Theatre, the Rebecca Cohn's symphony, and the restaurants of Argyle Street and the waterfront: an evening booking of four to five hours with the car on Brunswick or Duke before the encore, and the sports page's venue-exit rules apply.

Where the car waits, in a table

A Halifax day, timed (book 9)

10:00 YHZ, the SUV, a Toronto family of four off the 7:30 from Pearson for a Dalhousie move-in; the meet at arrivals, the boot already holding the boxes shipped ahead and collected by the operator. 10:40 the 102; the LeMarchant Street residence at the 11:00 slot. 12:30 the parents' lunch on Spring Garden Road while the student unpacks. 2:00 the campus bookstore, the residence again. 3:00 the waterfront boardwalk and the Maritime Museum for the parents. 5:00 dinner on Argyle Street. 7:00 the Westin Nova Scotian. Nine hours from the arrivals hall on one confirmation, in Atlantic time, and the Peggy's Cove day booked for the next morning before the car left the hotel.

The car

The network operator's fleet in the same classes: the Executive Sedan for the business day and the YHZ run; the Mercedes S-Class for the executive and the admiral's guest; the Luxury SUV for the family, the move-in, Peggy's Cove and the wine route and the winter; the Executive Sprinter for the convention delegation, the cruise group, the convocation family and the Tattoo. Every vehicle has winter tyres from November for the Atlantic's storms. The fleet page has the Toronto classes and the desk confirms the Halifax vehicle on the booking.

What it costs

The Halifax operator's class hourly rate times the hours, from three (five for a Sprinter), quoted by the Toronto desk at booking and billed with the Toronto bookings on the account's monthly invoice, plus Nova Scotia's HST and the gratuity you set; no surge, no meter, and the Cobequid Pass toll on the 104 passed through at cost only if a trip goes to Moncton. The rates page explains the Toronto number and the corporate accounts page the one-invoice arrangement; a Lunenburg or Wolfville one-way is a flat fare the desk quotes.

Booking Halifax

A call or an email to the Toronto desk with the flight, the hotel and the days - the travel desk handles the Toronto-Halifax-St. John's trip - or the booker with Halifax as the pick-up city; the desk confirms the local operator, the vehicle and the chauffeur's name the day before, and the plate text arrives at the meet. A business day two days ahead; Dalhousie's move-in and convocation a month; the cruise season's Peggy's Cove mornings and the Tattoo weeks ahead.
