I used this company for my transfers to Banff from Calgary International Airport when I toured The Canadian Rockies in 2005. The transfers take approximately 2 hours to reach The Rockies from Calgary) but convenient as they drop you off at your accommodation. For your return transfer, you need to reconfirm your booking at least 24 hours prior (between 08:00-17:00). The company has a desk at the arrivals hall at the airport.

Helpfulness
Having your own car is the best way to get around the Canadian Rockies. However it's possible to travel between the popular tourist centres and areas by public transportation and there are a number of companies that offers tours around the Canadian Rockies.
In October 2000, I was on an escorted coach tour when touring the Rockies (I went with Jetsave and this was part of my Trans-Canada trip).
In July 2005, I joined a small group adventure budget tour of the Rockies and also to Waterton Lakes National Park in South West Alberta. I went with a company called True North Tours where they offered a number of tours. I'm not sure if they still exist or operating - I tried to access their website and it came up with something in Japanese! I've put down the numbers incase the company still exists. There are also other companies that offer budget tours in the area such as Moose Travel Network.

Highway 40 crosses the spectacular Kananaskis Country. Whether you're driving from north to south or opposite direction I can highly recommend to stop by at the Highwood Pass which is the highest road pass in Canada with an altitude of 2206 metres according the road sign (picture 1). Other sources mention 2225 and 2227 metres. During this beautiful and not too long drive many animals can be spotted beside (picture 2) or even in the middle of the road. If you don't wanna stop by by yourself they will probably force you into taking a few minute break:)
