Taxi service at YQQ
Comox Valley Airport provides access to taxis, ride-share, shuttles and rental cars. Its passenger guidance has specifically directed travellers to Comox Taxi for airport transportation. This gives TaxiRates a clear airport service reference without assuming that the operator’s displayed estimate is a regulated airport flat fare.
The airport sits in a regional market rather than a single-city fare zone. Destinations can include Comox, Courtenay, Cumberland and communities farther north or south, so distance has a large effect on the final amount.
How to interpret the $32 Courtenay figure
Comox Taxi currently displays YQQ to downtown Courtenay at about $32. The same page labels its airport amounts as rough estimates and warns that waiting or traffic can change the final cost. TaxiRates preserves that qualification.
A passenger searching YQQ to downtown Courtenay can use $32 as a useful operator reference, while the result still explains that the fare is not guaranteed and that another licensed operator may have a different approved meter.
Why the Region 3 band matters
The current PTB Region 3 structure sets the permitted range for the taxi meter. It gives passengers a regulator-backed frame of reference even when the exact taxi company is not known.
TaxiRates will promote YQQ to a calculated operator-specific fare only when the requested provider and its current approved meter can be matched confidently. Until then, combining the rate band with the airport estimate is the more transparent result.

For local trips that do not involve the airport, use the city guide so terminal details do not clutter the local fare explanation.
