Good to know
Airport rides

Island Chauffeur is a pre-booked transportation service in Parksville that drives passengers across central Vancouver Island. It is not a street-hail taxi, so rides are arranged ahead of time.

The company states that it covers airport connections at Comox, Qualicum Beach and Nanaimo, plus Victoria, Campbell River, Port Alberni, Tofino, Ucluelet, several BC Ferries terminals and float plane services. Its website says drivers help passengers with luggage and check-in.

The office is staffed on weekdays from 9 AM to 5 PM and on weekends and holidays from 10 AM to 2 PM. The company states that bookings need at least 4 days of notice, and that from November 2025 the office is closed on Sundays and holidays for new bookings. A directory lists the office at 667 Temple St, Parksville.

The website does not publish vehicle types, payment methods or rates, so ask when booking. Because of the advance notice rule, book early for any flight or ferry connection. To compare with regular cab pricing on the same route, use the taxi fare estimator or see Parksville taxis.

Pros

Personalized service, suitable for airport and long-distance transfers.

Cons

May be more expensive than standard taxis, limited spontaneous availability.
