Services available

Big Chief Transportation offers a focused set of services for riders who want transportation handled without a lot of back-and-forth. The right option depends on how many people are riding, where the trip starts and ends, and whether the ride is tied to a flight, event, or planned outing.

Airport and local rides

Airport transfers and airport pickups are a common request for travelers who want a clean handoff between home, hotel, or event location and the airport. Local rides and point-to-point service are helpful when you need direct transportation around Traverse City without arranging multiple stops.

Group and event service

For bachelor parties, special events, and community events, event shuttle service can help keep everyone moving together. Group travel is also useful when guests are arriving from different places and need a shared ride plan that is easy to follow.

Planned outings

Wine tour rides, hotel shuttles, and resort transportation are good fits when the schedule is planned ahead. We also serve golf resorts and ski resorts, which makes it easier to coordinate transportation for day trips, weekends, and guest visits.


Traverse City travel needs

In Traverse City, transportation needs often change depending on who is riding and what kind of day is planned. A visitor may need a ride from the airport to a hotel. A couple may want wedding transportation. A group may need shuttle help for a celebration or community event. Local residents may just need a dependable ride to a dinner, meeting, or appointment.

That is why we keep the service list broad enough to cover common requests without making the page hard to use. If you are not sure which option fits, you can reach out with the trip details and ask what works best for your situation. We can also help when your ride involves more than one stop or a simple return trip.

  1. Start with the trip type

    Tell us whether you need airport transportation, a local ride, or group service.

  2. Share the route

    Give the pickup point, destination, and any stops you want to include.

  3. Set the occasion

    Let us know whether it is for a wedding, wine tour, corporate trip, or event shuttle.

  4. Confirm the plan

    We will help line up the ride details so the trip is clear before the day arrives.


Local property needs

Travelers, hosts, and event planners in Traverse City often need transportation that fits the property or venue they are using. A hotel guest may need a shuttle arrangement. A resort stay may call for a ride to dinner or an outing. A wedding group may need coordinated transportation between lodging and the celebration location.

For property managers, hosts, and anyone arranging group movement, a simple ride plan can reduce confusion. When guests are arriving at different times or heading to different places, it helps to have transportation handled by one provider instead of asking everyone to figure it out separately.

Common group situations

Some requests come from visitors staying at hotels or resorts. Others come from families meeting for a special occasion, or groups heading out for wine tours and social events. We can help with the ride side of the plan so the rest of the day stays organized.

What to expect

When you contact Big Chief Transportation, the goal is to make booking feel simple. You do not need a long explanation. A clear message with the pickup location, destination, number of riders, and trip type is enough to start the conversation.

Because some customers are planning one ride and others are planning a full day, we keep the process flexible. That works well for local riders who just need transportation across town and for visitors planning airport transfers, resort shuttles, or event travel.
