Drivers to Doctors

Need a ride to your appointments?

Don't have any way of getting to and from medical or other health-related appointments, such as to Life Labs, the dentist, optometrist, registered therapist, or the pharmacy? Drivers to Doctors provides rides to these appointments on Gabriola and in Nanaimo.

​

FYI:

  • If the passenger has any infectious respiratory symptoms the ride will have to be postponed.

  • Drivers to Doctors do NOT have priority boarding for the ferry.

  • Ferry costs for Nanaimo trips are not included. TAP forms will cover most ferry costs. If you cannot get to the clinic to pick one up, please let us know. Click the button below for TAP BC info.

  • If the service is not eligible for a TAP form, such as a pick up from a hospital stay or to a dental appointment, the patient must pay the ferry fees for the vehicle and driver, as well as themselves.

Ready to book your ride?

Call 250-268-9433

 

Please give as much notice as possible to allow time to arrange for your ride.
