Morning is dicey as well. Bookings are something like at least a week out though last time we tried to go to the island.

my time/mental health is more important than $20 both ways to make a reso. i'm so paranoid of the ferries even with a reso i'm usually the 1st or 2nd car in line waiting.

A reso is just a little annoying coming from here cause one accident on the Coq and you're screwed. Or my car decides to be a problem child again. I just booked the latest one I'd want to take and if I get there earlier see if they'll bump me up like they sometimes do.

Yeah it sucks when you can't guarantee traffic conditions and you're coming from far away.
I've heard of people booking multiple reservation slots and just eating the charge in case they're not sure that they can make a specific sailing.
I can't remember the last time I haven't reserved when driving over. I like to just sit my car most trips and having a reso gives you much higher chance of getting on the upper deck.
I'm coming to the mainland for thanksgiving and I booked my reservation 2 weeks ago lol.

I got a door ding and the other person was found liable. It's just a chip but I'm wondering if ICBC will still do cash payouts instead of repairs? I know that was an option many years ago but not sure if still is.

BC Ferries is gently increasing the percentage of spots that can be reserved as well so it's getting harder and harder to just drive on. Years ago I spoke with a project manager at BC Ferries who said they were working on going to reservations as the default way to book (and people who didn't reserve would be charged more). That was 7-8 years ago and I've seen nothing on that so I bet they decided there was too much money to be made selling reservations so they killed that project.

The whole system re: ferrys is so stupid
As well all the shit about like the window you can arrive in. They won’t honor a reso if you show up more than 60 minutes early? Like fuck off

I made resos but the return is kinda shitty. I would've booked earlier but I didn't know for sure I was going til last night. Is there a way to be notified if there's availability on a previously sold out sailing or do I just have to keep checking? Quote:

You don't lose your reservation if you show up more than 60 minutes early. Either they'll offer you boarding on the earlier ferry if there's space (of course not with reservation boarding priorty because that's not the ferry you orignally reserved for) OR they'll ask you to wait outside the terminal until your window opens. It's because they need to make the dedicated reservation lanes for your sailing and it's only an issue when they're running hourly sailings.

Read the wording when you make a reservation, it makes no sense. Thankfully I’ve been able to show up within the windows previously but if you were turned away say, on a long weekend at horseshoe bay for the Sunshine Coast ferry you would be -fucked- you literally could not get back to the booth by the time the sailing occurred.

So like maybe realize you're going to be there early and stop on the way to hold yourself up for a few minutes, maybe chill out at the brake check? Like seriously manage your time better.
I get to Tsawwassen more than 60 ahead all the time. The vast majority of times I get on the earlier boat, the ONE time I had to wait I pulled into the pedestrian lot and waited for 20 minutes and got back to the booth line. No Bid Deal. It does not take more than 30 minutes to get back through the booths from there even on the busiest day.

Any long weekend in the summer you could be backed up 45+ minutes into the highway with no opportunity to even get to the ticket booth.
