Coastal Rides is Hiring Drivers in the Nanaimo to Cowichan Corridor!
Coastal Rides is a locally owned, community-centered ride-hailing service, and we're looking for reliable, community-minded drivers across the mid-Island to help us serve our growing rider base. From Nanaimo down through Ladysmith, Chemainus, and into the Cowichan Valley, we want neighbours behind the wheel getting neighbours where they need to go.
Why drive with us?
- Competitive pay based on trips, tips, and commissions
- Be part of a local company that serves your community
- Flexible hours: work full-time, part-time, or just a few hours a week
- Boost your income by recruiting drivers or renting out your vehicle when you're not using it
- Help connect mid-Island residents with safe, reliable rides
Expected contractor earnings: Drivers across the Coastal Rides platform currently earn a median of $30 to $40 per engaged hour based on recent trip data. As an owner-operator, you keep 73 percent of every fare after a $2.75 booking fee, and you're paid per completed trip rather than an hourly wage. Full-time drivers who work 30 or more hours per week may also qualify for standby pay. Actual earnings vary by community, demand, and driver availability.
What you'll need:
- BC Driver's Licence (Class 1, 2, or 4). You can take the Class 4 restricted test in your regular vehicle.
- Vehicle less than 10 years old, commercially inspected and insured.
- Driver's abstract and criminal record check
Getting started is easy. Apply online and our team will walk you through onboarding and orientation every step of the way.
