Word to the wise though...... Never open your eyes over there or breathe the salt air, as there's some kind of weird vortex over there and very few come back to talk about it.......
Smarter/cheaper to rent a car? If there’s any availableStrictly speaking you get on in Tsawwassen
Summer is definitely busy and will be even more so this summer because travel restrictions have been lifted.
Noted. If I remember right Whistler is about an hour past Vancouver, maybe a little less? Very pretty drive up the coast once you’re out of ShankouverYes, you can either go over on the Tswassen ferry (butchered the spelling I am sure) or the Horseshoe bay ferry to Nanaimo and drive 45 minutes or so south to Victoria. Both are in the greater Vancouver area. Tswassen if coming in from the canyon on Hwy1 or Horseshoe bay if going 99 through Whistler, at which point you better stop on the way by as I am right on the side of hwy 99...,
Bobtail shouldn't be as bad, but the car rental would certainly make it a lot easier..... and cheaper, don't think I have ever heard of walk ons having to wait for another sailing either....
Near Vancouver? Doesn’t Vancouver start once you leave Chilliwack?
About 1 1/2hrs north and we are another two hours North of there. But you want to spend three or more dawdling along where you can, it's a very senic drive... 45 minutes north of us, you reconnect with hwy1 in Cache Cr.......
Whether the difference is enough to justify renting a car depends on the rates for commercial vehicles:
Yer pretty fair screwed anywhere beyond Hope....lol
Flip side of that is that Victoria isn't really parking friendly for commercial trucks......
Strictly speaking the lower mainland is made up of a bunch of separate cities which all border each other.
+1 to this... I sold my single-cab, long box Chev 4x4 when I moved here because I couldn't park the darn thing downtown.
Says about $200 round trip....bobtail, that’s not horrible
Geez that seems cheap.

Yes if you're serious about coming over definitely make a reservation.
That’s the only hang up is it’ll be a last minute scramble I’m guessing, unless I’m getting a reset in or the truck “breaks down”
That's one other hiccup to consider, the 200 is truck only, driver is extra, fuel surcharge and taxes are the added bonus. Pretty sure that you can reserve a rental car from the ferry and there's a rental outlet close by..... Way less stressful than explaining to the the judge that bylaw enforcement was talkin' when they shoulda been listenin' and I wasn't commercial that day..... Not that any of us would find ourselves in that position.....That’s the only hang up is it’ll be a last minute scramble I’m guessing, unless I’m getting a reset in or the truck “breaks down”
I think it would be neat if the truck and driver had been in Newfoundland and Victoria but might have to settle for driver only
