Since 2010, Bella Coola Vehicle Rentals has been dedicated to providing visitors with safe, reliable transportation to explore the breathtaking landscapes of Bella Coola and the West Chilcotin region. When we first started, our fleet of rugged SUVs allowed adventurers to access the alpine wonders hidden beyond Bella Coola’s Forest Service Roads (FSRs).
Over the years, these roads have continued to deteriorate, taking a significant toll on even our toughest vehicles. Despite our commitment to maintaining a high-quality fleet, we’ve reached a point where these remote routes are no longer sustainable for our rentals.
Starting in the 2025 season, our vehicles will no longer be permitted on FSRs. This decision ensures that we can continue providing clean, safe, and well-maintained vehicles for visitors to explore the region’s accessible and scenic routes on paved and maintained gravel roads throughout the valley.
While our fleet is no longer suited for these rugged roads, other local businesses offer specialized off-road vehicles for those seeking deeper backcountry adventures.
At Bella Coola Vehicle Rentals, our priority has always been to support responsible, sustainable travel while offering the best possible service. Whether you’re here for wildlife viewing, fishing, business trips or simply soaking in the valley’s natural beauty, we’re here to help make your journey unforgettable.
SHARED ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
At Bella Coola Vehicle Rentals, we prioritize clean passenger areas in our vehicles, emphasizing environmental consciousness. With over half of our region's roads being unpaved, we minimize water usage to reduce our environmental footprint, a choice our clients value. We actively promote eco-friendly vehicle use, especially in remote areas, as we acknowledge our role in facilitating travel to pristine natural environments. We urge our clients to be mindful of their impact on the environment, including its flora, fauna, water, and fellow visitors.
