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.

Services

Lightning Taxi offers a variety of transportation options to meet your needs, including individual and group tours, wedding and event charters, and taxi services.

Taxi service is currently available from 8am to 8pm from Thursday to Monday.

We have now also received approval to offer group tours, wedding shuttles, and event charters using our all-electric 19-passenger van!

Please note that due to COVID-19 and the difficulty of social distancing while on board, at this time we will not be offering individual tours. Group tours, wedding transportation, and event charters are available, and we are exploring options to offer individual tours in the near future.
