Coastal Rides

Fantastic experience: Prompt and efficient service! The vehicles are spotless and the drivers are always kind and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend! Thanks for the great service Ryan and team!

Fantastic experience: Totally perfect. Great driver. Lovely person. All in all, appreciated because I really needed a ride tonight, so thank you :)

Fantastic experience: Very friendly driver. Good ride.

Fantastic experience: Used this service for our party of 6. We had a driver named Nils that went above and beyond in every aspect, i don't think I have ever met anyone so passionate about their job and community. He went out of his way to show us some cool areas around Robert's Creek on our way to our destination, and was very educated on local history. I have traveled to many places in the world, and Nils stands out as the best driver/tourist guide I've ever encountered. 10/10 Nils is the man.

Fantastic experience: Feeling very grateful for Costal Rides and Nils this evening! After my travel arrangements went awry I ended up needing a ride from Langdale terminal to Earls Cove. Nils was extremely communicative and friendly, coordinating pick up time perfectly with my walking off the ferry. My drive with him felt like catching up with a friend! He shared stories about his experience on the Sunshine Coast, took me down the scenic routes, and offered suggestions for places to check out. Thank you so much Nils!! 12/10 would recommend Costal Rides.

Negative experience: Booked a ride from airport to ferry, they never showed up but did take the payment and them also charged me another free to cancel. For a total of $83 and there is no one to fix this problem. Nice company, good business NOT

Negative experience: terrible in our area, not reliable at all

Fantastic experience: Fast, convenient service!

Fantastic experience: Turn on car heating nxt trip

Fantastic experience: Excellent well run service. Highly recommend!

Negative experience: Driver very friendly, vehicle was clean and nice. No complaints at all. Now the reason for the one star. 4.8km 5 minute drive at most in a small town with no traffic. $30.00 + tip I'm sorry for the low score, I just can't comprehend the price whatsoever. They are friendly though.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service! We come in on the late flight and a rep for Coastal is always on time and is very pleasant! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I used Coastal Rides extensively during my trip to Tofino in early December. Prompt courteous, clean comfortable vehicles, and just plain great folks to chat up. Highly recommend them for wherever you are going. Pro Tip: pre-book during the busy late afternoon early evening hours.

Fantastic experience: Eric is very professional

Fantastic experience: Michael was my driver. He was on time is a safe driver very nice to talk to. Would recommend him. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Great drivet. Thank you!!!

Fantastic experience: I have used coastal rides a few times. The driver always arrives on time, the app makes it really easy to know when your ride will arrive, and the drivers always respectful and professional.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding service. Eric was on time; a great driver; and a delight. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Very quick to pick us up… friendly and took the route we requested. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Eric was such a great driver! He got us all the way back to Victoria when our flight got cancelled last minute from Tofino. He was friendly, drove very smoothly, and made the whole thing quite pleasant. Couldn’t recommend him enough!! Thanks again Eric :)

Fantastic experience: Super service — friendly & professional. Best ride I’ve ever had anywhere. Happily extended the trip to stop at the pharmacy on my way home from the hospital

Negative experience: Stick to taxis they don't charge for your children ! $10 for me to ride home alone, added my 2 children, total went upto $19-27... RIPOFF!! PS, its not ride hailing service if I gotta use an app and the driver won't stop when I wave! Misleading advertisement

Fantastic experience: Coastal rides does a great job and has friendly and reliable drivers. 5 stars!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic service & app was easy to use. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: This is a great service. I was able to pre-book a ride, the driver arrived on time, helped with my luggage and got me safely to my destination. Great communication throughout. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service. Nice to have a ride with someone so knowledgeable about the area. Used it for a lift between Campbell River and Comox. On time as advertised.

Positive experience: I love how easy-to-use the app was! The approximate pick-up times were pretty accurate. Used this taxi service mainly for my commute to and from work. The only downside I’ve noticed, is that it’s super busy around 0600-0700, so after my night shift, I’d have to book in advance or walk home. Otherwise, drivers were friendly and vehicles were clean!

Negative experience: Joke of a service! No 6+ seater which is fine, we were willing to take two separate cabs, which they only had one so half the ppl would have to wait for the next trip. But the kicker was they wanted $70 for the 18 km trip per cab each way =$210 Definitely a opportunity for someone to open up competition

Negative experience: Asked driver to drop me at the top of my very very steep driveway because I had a lot of heavy groceries to lug up. He said NO because he would then have to reverse back down the driveway. ‍♀️ so I had to put all my stuff on the curb and bring everything up one by one. Not impressed. This is especially hard when you are a shift worker and have been on your feet all day. Not appreciated at all.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service, easy to use app. Quick response from driver. Highly recommend if need ride from Campbell River to Comox airport.

Fantastic experience: Great service! On time and a clean car too!! No funny scent in the car hiding something else. Chatted with us and not a friend in his earpiece!

Fantastic experience: Thank you very much for your services. I fully recommend them.

Fantastic experience: New driver, excellent service. Professional, courteous, and good driving.

Fantastic experience: Ryan the driver for Coastal Rides went way above and beyond! I couldn't get out because of snow so I called Coastal Rides to get food and stuff, I put in the payment card to use and because of that I left my wallet at home! Ryan got me home and back to the store, and he funded me differently! Thank you very much Coastal Rides it saved me a bunch of pain, grief, and time. I wont use any one else than Coastal Rides!

Fantastic experience: Great service on the Coast! Easy setup, apps works perfectly, driver was very professional and friendly.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service! I got a ride home with them on New Year’s Eve and they arrived right on time. It’s great that we finally have another transportation option in the Comox Valley.

Fantastic experience: Friendly reliable ride service

Fantastic experience: Kevin was on time and ride was perfect.. Kudos to Coastal Rides FSJ

Negative experience: Requested 4:45am and verified pick up but driver didn't show til 5:07 am.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend using Coastal Rides. They have an easy to use app, great communication, and the driver was prompt, courteous and friendly. I will definitely use their services in the future.

Fantastic experience: Great service, communication. Car was very clean and comfortable, My driver was very courteous and friendly and on time .

Fantastic experience: Really appreciated. The fact I could get a reservation for a ride in the later evening from Comox Valley airport. Driver was lovely and helpful as well as extremely professional. When I tried to call a taxi, I was told first come first serve, which is not what a single woman wants to hear coming home from a long vacation in the middle of the evening. Comox felliw Airport is a long way in the middle of nowhere if you don’t have a ride.

Fantastic experience: Amazing, helpful and really the only useful service on the island.

Fantastic experience: We are so thankful to coastal rides! My wife and.I needed to get home tonight and we were SO LUCKY to have our diver. He drove us home from gibsons to Davis bay and my wife was sick! The driver was so understanding and thoughtful to get us home. We are truly grateful and humbled by the service. Can’t say enough good things about this service.,

Fantastic experience: Terrific service! Our driver showed up right on time. Car was great. Driver was very helpful. You have to book in advance but this is such a great transportation option for Gibsons.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely delightful business! We were left in a pinch by a local taxi company and called coastal rides. They were able to get a driver to us within 5 minutes. They were also the only company that would come and pick us up later that night. HIGHLY recommend above all other local Sunshine Coast companies. Special shout out to Niels, who was so friendly.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service would use again. Safe driver and was friendly thx

Fantastic experience: Our driver Bruce was great. Service was on time and pleasant .

Fantastic experience: John was on time and super friendly Highly recommend the ride share Thank you

Fantastic experience: It was very easy and great communication! We have done it a couple times now and it is the most reliable, professional experience with this kind of service that I found on the Sunshine Coast!

Fantastic experience: Amazing. Very friendly. Thank you o much

Fantastic experience: Great ride share service, efficient easy to use, clean car and friendly driver. So glad this much needed service is now available in Campbell River.

Positive experience: Great service. Easy to use. Needed a ride to the airport at a gauranteed time.

Fantastic experience: Professional personable driver. Prompt service. Easy to use app

Fantastic experience: We used Coastal Rides twice for emergencies due to a mechanical breakdown with our SUV. One ride was from Sechelt to Pender Harbour. The drivers were fast, efficient, and friendly. The app is very user friendly and intuitive (just like Uber or Lyft). Coastal rides is highly recommended by our family.

Negative experience: So basically that was the least safe I have ever felt in a car. Driver started by being irritable and swearing, and then proceeded to pick up a different passenger in the middle of our groups rides home (without offering us much of a choice). The speed limit was loosely obeyed and so were stop signs and circulation lines. There had been some kind of mistake with the system, but that doesn't explain why our driver decided to ignore road safety laws. Thank you Nils. (I got home 1.5 hrs after leaving Sechelt [I live in Roberts Creek]).

Fantastic experience: Awesome taxi / car company that services the entire Sunshine Coast. They have an excellent app that gives you the choice between private and shared rides. The app also gives pickup times and shows the live location of your car. Our driver was friendly and informative. Would most definitely use again. Awesome modern taxi service!

Fantastic experience: Excellent on time service, professional , courteous and helpful driver. Always a pleasure!

Fantastic experience: Great ride, clean vehicle. Ryan the Driver was very good.

Fantastic experience: App is so easy and allows for pre-pay and an electronic receipt, which is great because I travel in town for work and need to track expenses. Perfectly clean car and exceptionally professional driver. Would definitely recommend and use again! Thanks for the rides!

Fantastic experience: Very pleasant conversation with the owner/Driver

Fantastic experience: Excellent ride sharing service. Dependable, convenient, fair priced, clean and friendly. Very happy to have them in the valley.

Fantastic experience: Liam was great and I loved the prompt, professional and friendly service. Will definetly use again!

Fantastic experience: Thank you again for getting our extended visiting family back and forth between Davis Bay and Sechelt as our Designated Driver!! The van works perfect w/ easy accessibility for 90 yr old Mom! Your flex late night pick up times are appreciated. Kudos to your crew Ryan!

Fantastic experience: Arrived on time, and a safe drive home. Thank you Ryan!

Fantastic experience: really great and kind drivers, professional. a great service that the coast needs

Fantastic experience: Excellent on-time pickup from the Comox Airport on Thanksgiving evening. Ride request confirmed immediately upon requesting, after a local competitor informed me that he was on available,, three days after i had made my request on his website. Will definitely be using these folks again.

Fantastic experience: We used Coastal Rides this weekend to get from the Gibsons/Langdale ferry terminal to a trail head near Earls Cove ferry terminal. We were 2 people + bikes and paid $160, all in. The price point is similar to Sunshine Coast Connector, but the Coastal Rides comes out on top on a few counts: (1) it’s out of season and they are still running, (2) they are more flexible with routes and timing, and (3) they can carry more bikes. Booking was straight forward. The app only allows bookings 6 days in advance, so we emailed support and got it done in 2 emails. The branded minivan was easy to spot, and was marked in the app. Loading the bikes was quite quick. Ryan, our driver, was great company on the drive. 5 stars. Will use the service again. Would recommend.

Fantastic experience: We used Coastal Rides as a way to get guests to and from our wedding on the Sunshine Coast. They went above and beyond to make sure all our guests arrived on time and returned home safely. The communication was extremely concise and helpful, Ryan did a great job and gave us confidence that everything would be done as discussed. This really gave us a lot of comfort and I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I had a very nice driver he was polite friendly and a good driver I believe his name was Nils

Fantastic experience: THIS IS THE BEST RIDE COMPANY ON THE SUNSHINE COAST. EXTREMELY WELL ORGANIZED. WELCOMES PRE-BOOKING -IT WAS GREAT AS A SENIOR, EXCELLENT COMMUNICATIONS & SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - CONFIRMATIONS, REMINDERS AND STATUS OF YOUR RIDE INCLUDING NAME OF DRVER, CAR TYPE, COLOUR, LICENSE # AND DRIVERS NAME. VERY CLEAN CARS & VANS I WILL ALWAYS USE THEM NOW!

Fantastic experience: Booking & paying was super easy. I got texts with helpful reminders about my trip, the drive was super smooth and the driver Michael was on-time and friendly.

Fantastic experience: I pre-booked two rides for a large group of 10 in June 2022. Ryan from Coastal Rides was very responsive and answered all of my questions . Because I was booking for such a large group, I made an online request and corresponded with Ryan via email. Once the booking was complete, I could see my pre-booked rides confirmed in the Coastal Rides app. On the day we booked, the driver of the large vehicle we needed was injured, but Coastal Rides quickly found a solution at no additional cost to us. I would definitely use Coastal Rides again!

Fantastic experience: Gurinder was great! Very punctual and polite! We arrived at our destination exactly when we should have!

Fantastic experience: Great option and the owner and all the drivers I've met are super nice + helpful

Fantastic experience: Great service, easy booking, friendly driver, all in all great service, highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: The ride was on time. Driver was pleasant and helpful. Excellent service.

Fantastic experience: Cabs in town are hard to come by sometimes but coastal rides is always there when I need them

Fantastic experience: Picked us up no problem from an off the grid location at Middle Point. Will use again for sure

Fantastic experience: We had exceptional service from Reese. The owners were very quick to respond to detail request through email. %100 positive review.

Positive experience: Safe trip home always.

Fantastic experience: Great idea! Friendly, fast.

Fantastic experience: A perfect experience! The app was easy, the driver was on time, the ride was comfortable. Thank you so much for providing a much needed service to the Coast!

Fantastic experience: Girls camping weekend..never been to Gibson bc. Our driver Geoff was like family! Took us everywhere we needed to go. So nice..laughed with us, sang with us, and cried a bit there at the end of our trip.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely loved this service! I relied primarily upon Coastal Rides for a recent family vacation to Sechelt and was pleasantly surprised. I had originally been concerned about ride availability because living in a much bigger city I sometimes find this an issue with Uber and Lyft, but we never had a problem getting a ride and the drivers went above and beyond in helping to store my father's walker as well as ensure that we were comfortable. Will happily use this service on our next trip.

Fantastic experience: Easy to use App. My driver was friendly and his car was nice and clean.

Fantastic experience: The driver was awesome - on time and safe. It made my trip to the ferry so much easier knowing I'd already paid and could get to the early morning ferry on time to walk on. Thanks!!

Fantastic experience: Just what the Coast needs! Will def travel with Coastal Rides again.

Negative experience: This is my second attempt at booking a ride using the app with the exact same result, I hesitated on my first review to give them a second chance, but they failed me twice in a row, so here we go: Before I clicked confirm it showed available drivers on the map and said it would be about 12 minutes for a driver. When I applied the local coupon and clicked confirmed on the ride hail it searched for about 30 seconds and then gave me a message saying there were no rides available. A friend in a different account logged in and showed the same available rides. I highly recommend you do not support this ride service.
