It is 100 km from Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal to Whistler, and the drive takes about 90 minutes. A standard rideshare costs about $151 at normal demand, with a likely range of $135 to $174.
Where the $151 comes from
Typical rideshare rates drive this number. The base fare is $2.50, distance is $1.15 per km and time is $0.35 per minute. For 100 km and 90 minutes that gives $149 before the $2.00 booking fee.
Treat it as an estimate, not an Uber price. The app shows the real upfront fare once you enter both addresses.
When demand pushes the fare up
A busy period (1.2 times the normal rate) brings the trip to about $181. When it is very busy (1.5 times) the price is about $226. At a peak (double) it reaches about $300.
On a trip this long, those jumps add up to real money. If your plans are flexible, open the app, look at the price, and come back later if it is well above $151.
Bigger vehicles cost more. Comfort is about $188 and XL (up to 6 seats) is about $218. Premier is about $337.
The taxi comparison
Whalley Taxi and Royal City Taxi share one tariff, which charges $3.75 up front plus $2.18 for each km. Across 100 km the meter reaches about $222.
That number does not include waiting time or extras, so treat it as a floor, not a final bill. At normal demand a rideshare is about $71 cheaper on paper. At a peak rate of $300, the taxi meter looks better.
It is worth phoning for a fixed quote before you decide on a trip this size.
Arriving off the ferry with luggage
Horseshoe Bay is a ferry terminal, so you may be arriving off a sailing with luggage. Open the app before you leave the boat and check where it wants you to stand.
Give the driver the full address of your accommodation in Whistler. Ask early whether your bags will fit, and choose XL if you are carrying skis, boards or several suitcases, since a driver who arrives and finds a full load may not be able to take it.
If anyone in your group needs an accessible vehicle, arrange it ahead by phone with one of the local taxi companies. Allow extra time on a 90 minute drive if you have a reservation, a check in window or a lesson to reach, because a long trip leaves little room to make up lost minutes.
