Uber is a rideshare service that covers the Oceanside area of Vancouver Island, including Parksville and Qualicum Beach, through the Uber app. Uber announced province-wide service in British Columbia, including Nanaimo and Oceanside, starting May 28, 2025.
Rides are booked in the app. Uber states that a ride is only available where drivers have signed up, so the number of cars nearby changes from one part of the area to another and from one time of day to another. Smaller communities such as Coombs or Errington may have fewer drivers online than Parksville.
- Booking: Uber app on a phone
- Service area: Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Nanoose Bay and nearby communities, where drivers are online
- Other services: Uber Eats food delivery is listed for Parksville and Qualicum Beach
Uber has no phone line for ordering a ride, so a traditional taxi is the fallback if no driver shows up in the app. For a rough idea of what a ride costs before booking, try the Uber fare calculator, and see the Parksville taxi page for local cab companies.
Pros
App-based booking, Uber Eats and car rentals available, potentially lower prices than taxis, $500 bonus for new drivers.
