Ground transportation in western Canada is Ridebooker’s primary business. Our goal has always been to provide high quality transportation at the lowest price possible. To this end during the Ridebooker transfer booking process guests are shown all options that offered on a given route. You can compare prices and easily discover the most cost-effective way to travel in British Columbia and Alberta.
Bus tickets sold by our service and other bus companies generally cost between $50.00 and $60.00 per person when travelling along major western Canadian routes. That price point means that traveling in a group of 3 or less is by far least expensive on a bus. From Vancouver to Whistler or Victoria our guests find our scheduled bus rates really hard to beat when comparing them to private transfers which are typically around $300.00 for a group of 3 on the same route.
When the size of the group traveling increases the value proposition changes quickly. A family of 5 traveling from Vancouver to Whistler pays $290.00 on the bus and $379.00 for a private Luxury SUV. There is definitely still savings for those who choose the bus but for only an additional $90.00 many families choose the private option which is built around the client’s schedule, comfort and individual needs.
When the size of any group gets beyond 6 people the value proposition changes again. As the word has got out that private transportation is the least expensive option for larger groups, our Charter Van service has quickly become our most popular product. For a group of 6-10 a Charter Van will save you a lot of money compared to bus tickets. As the number of people in your group goes up the usefulness and cost-effectiveness of private transportation goes way up. Our 22 passenger bus service or our Stretch SUV are exceptional options when you compare the costs. For large groups we always suggest our sister company Transportation Whistler. They will be happy to organize a transportation plan for any of your western Canada travel needs.
