The short answer
For 5 or 6 people, PrimeKar Elite XL is one private vehicle, a full-size SUV such as the Chevrolet Suburban, Chevrolet Tahoe or Lincoln Navigator, covering the whole group on the roughly 90-minute drive from YYC to Banff. For 7, that's past Elite XL's capacity, so PrimeKar sends two vehicles together as one coordinated booking, subject to availability, not a shared shuttle. Either way, your exact price, tax included, is shown in the app before you confirm, with tip added separately after the ride.
Why 6 is the line that matters
PrimeKar Elite XL takes up to 6 passengers and is comfortable with up to 4 large checked suitcases. That's a real capacity limit, not a soft target, and it's the number that decides whether your group of 5 to 7 needs one vehicle or two. Ski bags, golf gear and extra luggage take space a passenger count alone doesn't capture, so if your group of 5 or 6 is travelling heavy, say so when you book; it can be the difference between a comfortable fit and a tight one.
What happens at 7 people
A group of 7 is arranged as two vehicles travelling together as one booking, coordinated as a single arrangement rather than two separate reservations you'd have to manage yourself. This isn't a shuttle service with a fixed schedule or other passengers; both vehicles are private to your group, and availability for two vehicles together should be confirmed with more notice than a standard single-vehicle booking, particularly during Stampede or ski season.
Flight tracking still applies
If you're landing at YYC and continuing straight to Banff, add the flight number for the trip and PrimeKar tracks the inbound arrival, so pickup for the group follows when you actually land rather than the scheduled time. The 45-minute complimentary wait window applies the same way whether it's one vehicle or two.
How to book a group this size
For groups of 5 to 7, contact PrimeKar by form, phone or email rather than booking through the app alone, so the vehicle count and any multi-vehicle coordination can be confirmed directly. Your price depends on how many vehicles the trip needs, so you'll be given the fare, tax included, before anything is arranged; tip is separate and added after the ride. Mention your exact headcount and luggage when you reach out; that's what decides one vehicle versus two.
Common questions
How much does it cost to move a group of 5-7 from YYC to Banff?

How many people fit in one PrimeKar vehicle from YYC to Banff?
PrimeKar Elite XL takes up to 6 passengers in one private vehicle, comfortable with up to 4 large suitcases. PrimeKar Executive takes up to 4.
What happens if our group is 7 people?
PrimeKar sends two vehicles together as one coordinated booking, subject to availability. It's still a private transfer for your group, not a shared shuttle.
Is this a shuttle service for groups?
No. PrimeKar doesn't run a shuttle with a fixed schedule or shared passengers. A larger group travels in one or more private vehicles sent together, depending on size.
Can I book a group of 5-7 through the app?
For a group that may need two vehicles, contact PrimeKar by form, phone or email so the vehicle count can be confirmed directly, rather than relying on the app alone.
Does flight tracking still apply for a larger group?
Yes. Add the flight number you're arriving on and PrimeKar tracks it, with the same 45-minute complimentary wait applying whether the group travels in one vehicle or two.
