Alcohol Rules for Limos & Party Buses in BC

Current BC rule
No Alcohol Consumption in the Vehicle
The Government of British Columbia has stated that drinking alcohol in any private or commercial vehicle is illegal, whether the vehicle is moving or not. That applies to limousines and party-bus style commercial passenger vehicles.
Destiny Limousine therefore does not permit passengers to consume alcohol in its vehicles.
What About Unopened Alcohol?
B.C.'s Liquor Control and Licensing Act contains exceptions for transporting liquor when it is unopened with an unbroken seal, or when it is stored in a trunk or baggage area so it is not readily accessible in the passenger area.
If you are carrying sealed bottles after a winery visit or event, tell the chauffeur and keep them stored as directed.
Why the Rule Matters
Commercial passenger operators and chauffeurs have safety and licensing obligations. A trip may be stopped when passenger conduct creates a safety issue or violates applicable rules.
Destiny's Terms and Conditions also reserve the right to terminate a trip without refund when the party violates the B.C. no-drinking policy or puts the chauffeur or vehicle at risk.
Before an Event, Wedding, Prom, or Night Out
Plan drinking for licensed venues, private residences where permitted, or other lawful locations, not inside the transportation vehicle. For groups, make sure the organizer communicates the rule before pickup so there is no confusion once the trip begins.
For sealed wine purchases or other unopened liquor being transported after an event, use the vehicle's designated luggage/storage area and follow the chauffeur's instructions.
For Group Organizers
For weddings, birthdays, concerts, proms, bachelor or bachelorette outings, and other group reservations, tell passengers about the rule before the vehicle arrives. This prevents the chauffeur from having to resolve an avoidable issue at pickup.
If the itinerary includes a winery, restaurant, licensed event, or private gathering, keep consumption at the lawful venue. The vehicle is transportation between those stops, not a place to continue drinking.
