Over the weekend I got a chance to partner with Prestige Transportation Edmonton for a one-day Black Car adventure helping celebrate the company’s new, more affordable rates!
Until recently, the City of Edmonton required a minimum $75 charge for all Prestige black car rides (no matter how long or short the distance). As you can imagine, that minimum fee turned away a lot of potential riders.
Now however, for the first time – there is no minimum fee to take a black car in Edmonton!
That means you can travel in style (think Harvey Specter from Suits style) with Prestige’s black sedans/SUVs – in more everyday situations instead of what might have been a splurge with their minimum fees in the past.
Being driven around in a Prestige car made us feel fancy AF.
We took the car to get Mike’s hair cut, pick up some tools at Rona, stop for a delicious lunch at Nomiya’s new Noodle Bar, grab a replacement battery for my car starter at Best Buy, and finally Sid dropped us off at our friend Chris and Jenn’s for ‘Friendsgiving’ dinner!
We arrived at Nomiya’s new Noodle Bar during our Prestige adventure!
It was also great spending the day with Sid! He’s been working with Prestige for 20 years and is an awesome driver.
Here’s what the new rates look like for some trips you might take in Edmonton:

@lindork @limoedmonton We travel with Wojtek’s from Prestige. His car is the most beautiful thing… it’s the only way we travel to/from the airport ???? And it always starts when you get back from mid-winter -30C vacation!! No stress, & #cheaperthanparking
Ah sorry! I’ve done all the things for entries!
I would take it to the gym, then go for lunch, and then shopping and leave all the bags in the car!
I would love to win. My husband & I have season tix to the citadel so we would definitely use the black car service for dinner & a show!
Would be perfect way to take my wife out for our 20th Anniversay at the end of this month so we wont to have to decide who gets to be the DD!!
It’d be great for a day of relaxing! I’d take it to the salon, the spa and a massage! Would make it a stress free day!
I’ve done all the above for entries!
I’d use it for events like the Food and Wine Festival or Sip & Savour!
I follow you on Twitter (@lindork), I follow Prestige on Twitter (@limoedmonton), and I like your Facebook Page: Lindork – Linda Hoang. I’ve also shared the tweet.
I would definitely use this for a “fancy” event because arriving in the black seems most appropriate when you’re all dolled up for a gala or wedding. I also completed all the entries.
Definitely would use it for a nice night out with the girls!
