Nanaimo drive-home service • You + your car
Available 8pm–3am on busy nights Two-person crew + follow car

The safest “magic trick” is waking up with your car at home.

aRide gets you and your car home safely in Nanaimo. One driver takes your car home with you in it, and a second driver follows in our vehicle—then picks up the crew. Warm vibe on the outside, professional on the inside.

Branding persona (optional, for content): “Fairy godmother… but for your keys.” The crew stays calm, identifiable, and safety-first.

How it works

1

Call or request pickup

Tell us your location, destination, and vehicle type. We confirm ETA.

2

Two-person crew arrives

Driver A takes your car home with you. Driver B follows in our vehicle.

3

Arrive + park properly

We get the car home and parked cleanly—driveway/spot, no drama.

Completion text when your car is home Optional “HomeKit” add-on (keys/phone/lock check)

Simple pricing (starter idea)

Example fare structure

  • Base: $40 includes first 8 km
  • Distance: $2.50 / km after
  • Late premium: +$10 after 1:00am
  • Wait time: $10 per 10 minutes (after 5 min grace)

These are placeholders you can adjust after a few weekends of real data.

Optional add-ons

  • HomeKit: keys/phone/lock check (+$10)
  • Extra stop: quick detour (+$10)
  • Membership: $15/mo for priority + $10 off rides

Tip prompts work well here. People tip for “no regret tomorrow.”

Safety & trust (the whole point)

Two-person crews only

Driver A drives your vehicle. Driver B follows and retrieves the crew after.

Professional, identifiable

Clear ID, branded outerwear, logged trips. Whimsy stays optional.

Respectful boundaries

No-judgement, but we can refuse service for unsafe situations.

Not affiliated with Operation Red Nose. aRide is a private drive-home service concept intended to keep people (and cars) safe.

FAQ

Do you drive manual transmissions?

Yes—tell us when you request pickup so we send the right driver.

Can my dog come?

Usually yes, if they’re calm and safe in the vehicle. Mention it when booking.

What if I’m too intoxicated?

We’ll always choose safety. If someone can’t safely ride, we may require a sober companion or suggest other options.

How long is the wait?

Busy nights can surge. We confirm an ETA and keep you updated.

How do you handle payments?

Start with e-transfer/card at completion. Add memberships once demand is proven.

Is the “fairy godmother” thing real?

It’s a brand persona for memorable content. The actual service stays professional and safety-first.
