Private Travel & Lifestyle Concierge — Founded in Houston

Your time is worth more than hold music.

Calder Private runs the flights, transport, and stays for founders and executives who don't have the bandwidth to manage a trip themselves. Founded in Houston, built to go with you anywhere.

HOUAnywhere
What Calder Handles

Four categories, one point of contact.

We coordinate with the providers you'd book yourself — hotels, drivers, restaurants, the charter desk. You just skip the part where you do it.

Air

Charter & Air

Private or first-class routing, arranged from a Houston departure and rebooked in real time when plans change.

Stay

Wherever You Land

Suites, villas, and residences sourced fresh for each destination — never a fixed list, always matched to that trip.

Ground

Transport

Cars and drivers arranged before you've cleared the jet bridge — in Houston, or on the ground wherever you've flown.

Coming Soon
Table

Dining & Access

We book reservations and tee times ahead of time today. Last-minute access — a table three hours out at a place that's fully booked — is coming as we build local Houston partnerships.

What It Looks Like In Practice

"6:12 AM — a client's flight to Dallas is canceled. He texts one line: 'need to be there by 10.'"

By 6:20, he's rebooked on the next flight out. A car is already scheduled to meet him at DFW. His 10 AM contact has been quietly notified he may be five minutes late. He finds out all of this in a single follow-up text — he never has to ask.

Illustrative example, not an actual client account.

How It Works

No app to configure. Just a direct line.

01 — Request

You reach out

Call, text, or email your concierge directly with what you need — as loosely or specifically as you like.

02 — Plan

We handle it

We coordinate every provider and confirm the full itinerary back to you in one message — everything settled.

03 — Travel

You just go

Your concierge stays reachable for the entire trip, in case anything needs to change.

How It's Priced

One fee. Paid by you, disclosed upfront — never a hidden cut.

Calder takes zero commission from any hotel, airline, or car service, on any trip, ever. The only money Calder makes is the fee you see below.

Under $15,000 in trip spend
$300–500Flat fee, set upfront based on complexity
$15,000 and up
11%Of total trip spend — replaces the flat fee, never both
  • Your fee covers the work of arranging the trip — it's quoted before anything is booked.
  • Flights, hotels, cars, and reservations are billed to you directly by that supplier — Calder never marks them up or holds that money.
  • No membership is required to work with Calder today. Tiered membership is coming — see Calder Club below.

"For a CEO, the cost of a trip was never the airfare. It's the twenty minutes spent booking it."

Calder Private was built on a simple premise: the people who most need a concierge have the least time to manage one. So we removed the parts that felt like work — the apps, the account setup, the back-and-forth — and left the part that matters: a person who picks up and handles it.

We don't own jets, hotels, or cars. We own the relationship — with you, and with the best providers in every city you fly into. That's what lets us stay unbiased and fast, whether it's a same-day board meeting three states away or a request called in from the car.
