Coastal Rides is a locally owned ride-hailing company that works in several Vancouver Island and BC communities and takes bookings through its app and web booker. It lists service in Nanaimo, Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Ladysmith, the Comox Valley, Campbell River, Tofino and Ucluelet, plus the Sunshine Coast and Squamish.

Rides are booked in the iOS or Android app, or online. The fare shows before you confirm, and payment goes through the app or web booker, so no cash is needed. Rides can be scheduled up to 7 days ahead. Phone support is on 604-330-7433 or toll-free at 1-855-921-2226.

  • Airport: the company handles airport trips, and Campbell River Airport lists it as a ride-hailing option
  • Payment: in the app or online
  • Fares: set in advance

Coverage is thinner in some towns. Reports say Nanaimo has only a few drivers, so book ahead there instead of expecting a car on demand. The company site does not describe wheelchair accessible vehicles, so ask before booking if you need one.
