In response to requests made by the local community through the Sunshine Coast Ferry Advisory Committee, BC Ferries is happy to introduce optional vehicle reservations on its Powell River - Comox route.
The new service makes it possible for customers to secure their ferry travel plans by reserving space in advance.

How much does each private vehicle reservation cost?
For private vehicles, each one-way reservation is charged a non-refundable reservation fee as follows:
- $15.00 if made 7 or more days in advance of the sailing's scheduled departure date, or
- $18.50 if made less than 7 days in advance of travel.
For example, if you make a one-way reservation on Monday for the following Monday, the fee will be $15.00. If you make a reservation on Tuesday for the following Monday, the fee will be $18.50. So you can save money by booking 7 or more days in advance of travel.
If you need to change a reservation, a $9.00 service fee will apply.
Non-refundable fees are paid by credit card when your reservation is made or changed.
We accept:
- Visa
- MasterCard
- American Express
Note that you will pay all remaining fares for vehicle, driver and passengers when you check in at the terminal ticket booth, according to the rates in effect on the date of travel. These may be paid using one of the above credit cards, or by cash or travellers cheques.
Reservation fees do not apply to commercial vehicles and vehicles carrying livestock.
How do I make a reservation?
- Click here to make your reservations online >>
- Or phone our Customer Service Centre >>
When should I check in at the terminal?
Reservations should be claimed at the ticket booth 45 to 60 minutes prior to the scheduled sailing time. If you are not checked in 30 minutes prior to the scheduled sailing time your reservation will not be valid and you will travel stand-by.
Since the terminal may not have room to accommodate early arrivals during peak traffic periods we cannot process reserved traffic more than 60 minutes prior to the reserved sailing time. The reservation fee for unclaimed reservations will not be refunded.
Can I reserve Commercial Vehicles and Livestock Vehicles?
Reservations for commercial vehicles and non commercial vehicles carrying livestock are available for travel on our Powell River-Comox route.
