BC Ferries publishes its own customer complaint process: most issues are dealt with on the spot at the terminal or on board, and a complaint that is not settled there can be escalated within BC Ferries to its customer care management and, beyond that, senior management. Give your booking reference, the route, the sailing date and time, what went wrong and the outcome you want, and keep copies of everything you send.

Costs from a cancelled sailing to put in writing? Put it through our complaint process: we help you write it in minutes, with the booking, the times and every receipt set out in order.

BC Ferries reviews compensation requests case by case when a sailing is delayed or cancelled for a mechanical reason, and asks for your receipts, the terminals you travelled through and your booking reference; it says it does not compensate for delays or cancellations caused by weather or other events outside its control. If you could not travel after checking in at the terminal, ask for a refund at the terminal, and for a reservation on a sailing BC Ferries cancels, check the sailing cancellation policy on its website. BC Ferries says Assured Loading tickets and unused Experience Card balances are not refundable.

Keep the cancellation notice, your booking confirmation and every receipt for extra costs such as meals, a hotel or a later crossing, because missing documents slow the review down.

Yes: in Canada, the BC Ferry Commission (Office of the BC Ferries Commissioner), which oversees the coastal ferry service of British Columbia, hears appeals of customer complaints about BC Ferries that were not resolved to the customer's satisfaction, although it does not rule on day-to-day operations, fares or customer service policies. The Commission generally expects BC Ferries to have had the chance to put things right through its own complaint process first, so keep a record of every contact, reference and reply.

Be careful. BC Ferries warns that scammers sell bookings that are invalid or do not exist, often on copied websites carrying its logo, and it does not honour those bookings at the terminal. Social media pages promising free sailings or vacations to the first followers picked are fakes too.
