Very efficient and courteous service. Download the app, great for ordering a ride ahead of time.
Rode with Coastal for the first time and it was great! Nice to be able to depend on the scheduled rides, right on time and right where we needed to go.
Used Coastal Rides to get from my hotel to the airport in Comox. Taxis were fully booked so I thought I’d give this a try. Arranging for a ride was nice and easy. I was able to schedule the ride ahead of time. The driver was very nice and the car was nice and clean. I will certainly use this service next time I am back in Comox.
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.
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.
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 Nils, who was so friendly.
