About Lightning Taxi

Founded in 2022 on Pender Island, Lightning Taxi's mission is to provide convenient, efficient, and safe options for tours and passenger transportation on Pender Island.

All-electric fleet

Lightning Taxi has committed to operating a fleet of 100% electric vehicles. Because our vehicles have zero tailpipe emissions and no gas engine, our fleet requires less maintenance than traditional taxi fleets and helps keep harmful emissions out of the air and the environment.
