We booked this trip several days ahead of time for a late night pick up at a small BC airport to another town which is 45 minutes away. There were no other options, and since we had not used this service before and the online reviews were sparse, we were a bit nervous.
However, on the day of our travels the driver was in contact with us early and was right on time for our pickup. Ride was safe and comfortable. All top notch!

Prompt, efficient, accurate, fantastic vehicles. Critically I learned that the app only accepts a ride if it has a car and driver for it. We did not know of Coastal Rides and tried to book in advance with another firm - disturber! - as they never bothered to respond to a web form with ride details, multiple voicemails, and finally when we were told by the day taxi driver to email the email bounced back as "their inbox was full"! For booking in advance during the booking you tap the "Now" button and change the time to a future date and time. ENJOY!!

Pre booked pickup and return on time, with Steve & Dan. good drivers, clean vehicles and pleasant personalities. The Booking APP worked well and i was sent a text with my details after booking. Drivers responded to my pick up inquiries as the time for pick up drew near.

As anyone with experience flying into the Comox airport knows, finding or relying on a taxi service there is a joke. I've waited up to 2 hours at the airport waiting for my turn. Although to be fair that was during the summer and busy season there. Anyways, using Comox Rides I was able to pre-book a ride and the driver whose name I dont know was there a few minutes early so the was very nice. I believe they are also a little cheaper than a regular cab. The driver was very friendly which was another great bonus.

I used Coastal Rides to get home from a New Year’s Eve party. They arrived right on time. Excellent service! It’s great that you can pre-reserve your car online and not have to worry about waiting for a taxi.

Excellent service and awesome driver. Everything was great and I will be using this service quite often!! It was a lifesaver to be able to get a ride from Langdale to Earls Cove.
