Skip the rental car — a driver handles the Sea to Sky Highway while you watch the mountains

You get picked up at your Whistler accommodation and driven to Vancouver in a private SUV with a professional driver who knows the Sea to Sky Highway inside out. Photo stops at viewpoints happen on request, and you can take breaks whenever you need them. Bottled water, heated seats, and ski equipment storage are included, so you arrive in Vancouver without the stress of driving unfamiliar mountain roads yourself.

The Experience

So you're leaving Whistler and heading to Vancouver, and yeah, you could rent a car, but then you're the one navigating Highway 99 after a week of skiing or hiking. Your driver picks you up wherever you're staying in Whistler — hotel, condo, Airbnb, doesn't matter — and handles the whole route. The SUV's got heated seats, satellite radio, and enough cargo space for ski gear if you need it, so you're not cramming equipment into the trunk while your shoulders ache.

The drive itself is the thing people don't expect. Highway 99 winds through the Coast Mountains, and there are viewpoints along the way where you can actually stop and take photos instead of pulling over on the shoulder and hoping you don't get hit. Your driver knows the route cold — he's been driving it for over a decade and has lived around Whistler long enough to point out which lookouts are worth the five-minute detour. If you want coffee, a bathroom break, or just to stand somewhere and breathe for a minute, you ask and it happens. No schedule, no tour patter, no group waiting for you to get back on the bus.

The vehicle fits up to four passengers comfortably, though two in the back is the real sweet spot if you're traveling with someone. Bottled water's included, and if you've got skis, boards, or luggage, there's room. The whole transfer is priced upfront, so you're not negotiating with a driver at the curb or watching the meter climb through traffic. You just sit back, watch the Squamish River valley drop away, and let someone else think about the road.

What’s included

  • Sea to Sky Highway viewpoint stops for photography upon request.
  • bottled water.
  • heated front seats and satellite radio in the vehicle.
