5 Ways to Use Coastal Rides on the Sunshine Coast, from Charter Tours to Holiday Parties and Staff Transportation

2023-03-24

Ridesharing makes getting around the Sunshine Coast easy. Whether you’re looking for a reliable ferry commute or a designated driver for your staff holiday party, we’ve got you covered.

Buckle up⁠—here are five ways Coastal Rides can get you around safely and stress-free.

1. Take in the Sunshine Coast on a Charter Tour

Skip the ferry lineup and make the most of your trip on the Sunshine Coast. We offer custom charter tours that are tailored to you. Let our drivers take the reins or come prepared with a detailed itinerary already in mind. Either way, you can kick back, relax and take in the sights. Looking for some tour inspiration? Why not visit farmers’ markets or brewery hop between Gibsons and Sechelt? Or, explore the nooks and crannies of Pender Harbour with its infinite lakes, sheltered bays and trails. You can even head as far as Egmont for dinner and a drink at West Coast Wilderness Lodge—and make it back safely to wherever you’re staying.

2. Have a Safe and Fun Holiday Party with Coastal Rides’ Designated Drivers

The holidays are a time for celebration. Keep things worry-free and book Coastal Rides as your designated driver. If you plan on attending an event (or two), you can revel in all the festivities and know that you can have a safe and reliable ride home, no matter how late the party lasts. And if you’re throwing an event? Book Coastal Rides ahead of time as a handy option for your guests. Planning a perfect party doesn’t just stop at food and drink—give people an option to get home safely and you’ve pretty much guaranteed their RSVP.

3. Get Your Staff to Work

Public transportation on the Sunshine Coast can be challenging. Local bus service is unreliable, and at the mercy of traffic on the single Sunshine Coast Highway. Bus schedules are often timed to coordinate with the ferry—and during busy times of the year like summer, that means boats can roll into dock later than planned. For staff commuting to work, this can be a frustrating reality of life on the Sunshine Coast. Help get them to their shift on time with a pick-up and drop-off service courtesy of Coastal Rides. This can save your staff gas and you the headache of staffing day-to-day. Plus, happy staff means happy customers!

4. Travel More Consciously

We could all stand to travel a little more consciously. With Coastal Rides, it’s easy to go green when travelling on the Sunshine Coast. Ridesharing can help you reduce your vehicle usage, without sacrificing your experience. Whether you’re looking to make it to dinner on time, get to the beach with gear in tow, or to stock up on supplies for your Airbnb, we’re just a ride away.

5. Earn Extra Cash as a Coastal Rides Driver

Live on the Sunshine Coast and looking to earn some extra dollars? Sign up as a Coastal Rides driver! With flexible scheduling and the ability to choose your own hours, you can have a solid side hustle on your own terms. Bonus: you’re guaranteed to meet tons of interesting people, too. And when your ride is over, you can head home. It’s a no-brainer for anyone looking to earn a little cash!
