Process

Hire a
bodyguard.

Whether you need protection for one tense evening, a court date, a property dispute, a public appearance, or a stalking situation, we match you with a personal bodyguard sized to the actual risk, not an overbuilt detail you don't need.

(01)

Tell us the situation

Share who needs protecting, where, and why: a credible threat or harassment, a high-conflict meeting, travel to an unfamiliar city, an event, or ongoing peace of mind. We keep it confidential and only ask for what's needed to scope the right level of bodyguard, from a single discreet escort to a small detail.

(02)

Compare vetted bodyguards near you

We pull qualified options from licensed agencies in your area and put them side by side: experience, armed or unarmed, profile (low-key or visibly present), and transparent hourly rates. Many bodyguards in the Calvis network come from military, law enforcement, and career close-protection backgrounds, and every agency is licensed by its state regulator.

(03)

Book and manage it online

Confirm your bodyguard, brief them on the assignment, and track coverage in real time from one Calvis dashboard. Extend a single day into ongoing protection, add coverage for travel days, or stand the detail down between trips, all without renegotiating a contract or chasing an invoice.

Included

Everything
you need.

Every personal bodyguard booked through Calvis is backed by these standards.

Vetted, experienced agents

Bodyguards with real close-protection backgrounds (military, law enforcement, and career EP) supplied by agencies that are licensed in your state and background-check their personnel.

Armed or unarmed

Match the protection to the threat. Choose an unarmed escort for deterrence and presence, or a licensed armed bodyguard where the risk picture and venue call for it.

Low-profile or visible

Discreet plainclothes protection that blends into your day when privacy matters, or a clearly present bodyguard when visible deterrence is the point.

Travel & on-location

Coverage for trips, hotels, public appearances, court dates, and property visits, with a bodyguard who knows the area or works your route in advance.

Short-notice coverage

Facing a sudden threat or a same-week event? Our multi-agency network can confirm a qualified bodyguard quickly, with short-notice and same-day availability in most markets.

Single guard or a detail

Book one bodyguard for a quiet escort or scale to a small detail for a higher-exposure principal, a family, or a crowded venue.

Scale up or down

One relationship that flexes from a single evening to full-time, recurring protection, and from one city to several, without a long-term commitment.

Transparent pricing

See clear hourly rates before you commit. No booking fees, no opaque retainers, and preferred pricing for ongoing protection.

FAQ

Common
questions

Tell us the situation (who needs protecting, where, and the level of risk) and Calvis matches you with vetted bodyguards from licensed agencies near you. You compare experience, armed or unarmed, profile, and rates side by side, then book and manage the assignment online. Calvis is a marketplace that connects you with licensed local agencies; the agency employs and licenses the bodyguard.

Yes. Because Calvis draws from a multi-agency network across 40+ US markets, we can usually surface qualified bodyguards in your area quickly, with short-notice and same-day coverage available in most cities. Share your location and timing and we'll show you who can be on assignment soonest.

Both options are available. Unarmed bodyguards provide presence, deterrence, and physical protection, while armed bodyguards carry the credentials their state requires for the assignment. Every bodyguard is supplied by an agency licensed by its state regulator and is background-checked. Calvis vets the agencies and verifies licensing before deployment; we do not employ the guards ourselves.

Personal bodyguard rates are quoted by the hour and depend on location, whether the guard is armed, the threat level, travel, and how many guards you need. A single unarmed bodyguard sits at the lower end of the range, while armed protection or a small detail runs higher. Pricing is transparent and shown before you commit, with no booking fees and preferred rates for ongoing coverage.

Absolutely. Many bookings are short: a single evening, a court date, a public appearance, a property dispute, or one trip. You can also set up ongoing or full-time protection. There's no long-term contract requirement, so you can scale a one-day booking into recurring coverage, or stand it down, whenever the situation changes.

Common reasons include credible threats or stalking and harassment, high-conflict meetings such as terminations or property and custody disputes, travel to unfamiliar or higher-risk areas, public appearances and events, recently public attention or notoriety, and general peace of mind for an individual or family. We size the protection to the real situation rather than selling an oversized detail.

Yes. We only collect what's needed to scope the right protection, and the details of your situation stay between you and the matched agency. Low-profile bodyguards can work discreetly in plainclothes so coverage fits into your day without drawing attention.

For travel, we coordinate vetted bodyguards in each location through your single Calvis account and one point of contact, with advance work on routes and venues where it's needed. For ongoing local protection you can request continuity with the same guard or detail through the matched agency.

Protection,
on your terms.
