Our Commitment to the Environment

At Take Off Adventure Rentals, we love to explore the outdoors, so naturally the well being of the planet is at the forefront of our business practices. We understand the impact that humans can have on our environment and we support responsible tourism while increasing appreciation and awareness to keep our rural areas, water and beaches clean.

Business Practices

Of course we need to buy the things for you to be able rent the things! In our own lives we try to get the most use out of products and generally will keep things long passed the replacement period. In Take Off we strive to source quality products from environmentally aware companies that will last and have many lives. We even employ quality “experienced” items in our rental fleet to try and lessen our impact. We are here to make the community better so we try to source local products and services whenever available, suitable and practical.

Our funky space has been outfitted with salvaged wood, covered in no-VOC paint and lit up with efficient lighting. We will be installing an electric car charging station and solar panels

We limit waste in our shop by reducing and re-using, and then recycling. We have a re-fill station for water bottles and encourage our customers to bring in their own. We use local companies to re-fill our natural cleaning products.

Each day will bring new opportunities for improving our practices!

Community

We are active members in our community and contribute to events, performances, fundraisers, trail building and raising community minded children. This venture gives us a new way to

contribute through employment opportunities, low impact tourism, and supporting other local businesses.

1% for the planet! We have registered and will be donating 1% of our gross earnings to Vancouver Island grassroot advocacy groups.

Let’s see more folks on two wheels! Take Off Adventure Rentals will be involved in making Coombs and Errington more bike friendly and bike safe. We want bike sightings to be as common as roaming cows, horses and goats!

We are honored by the privilege to operate our business and recreate on the traditional territories of the Qualicum, Snaw-Naw-As and K'omoks First Nations. We contribute to Raven Trust which supports Indigenous justice and environmental protection.
