Sunshine Limo is not accepting reservations currently. We should be back up and running soon.

During my stay in Winnipeg, I got around the city with Sunshine Transit Service’s accessible transportation. I took this opportunity to ride around in their accessible limousine for my entire trip. In short, it was amazing! I’ve never seen a wheelchair accessible limo before and since they had one, I was thrilled to try it out. If riding around in a limo isn’t for you, they also have a variety of wheelchair accessible vehicles to suit your needs.

Hello,
This morning January 7th we had reserved your service to pick us up and take us to the airport.
We want to tell you how pleased we are with the service received. First of all the flexibility to change the pick up time with very little notice, the driver was early , very helpful with the luggage and a professional competent driver. It was a pleasure to deal with your company. We definitely plan on calling on your services again. A great start to our winter holiday.
Thank you.

The feedback from families and staff regarding transportation was the best we ever had in 20 years of providing this camp option.

It was a pleasure partnering with you this year and it made a huge difference in our program delivery.

We have been using Sunshine Transit exclusively for a year now. We have tried a few other firms that can accommodate the needs of my father who is an amputee with very poor vision and have been appalled at the lack of professionalism out there. Sunshine has been excellent. They have always been reliable, on time, courteous and professional – head and shoulders above the other firms we have tried. As my father’s POA, I am also impressed with their concise and prompt invoicing. In my experience, they have set the standard in Winnipeg.

I just wanted to send a note to tell you that we used your service in July and we thought it was great. The driver (Martin) was excellent. He was very prompt, he made my Mom feel very comfortable and let her know what he was doing as he secured her in the van. My Mom has dementia and it is sometimes difficult taking her out. She was very comfortable being in her wheelchair in the van and we appreciate the good service provided. We will definitely use your service for any future needs.

Outstanding Service!

We were visiting for the weekend with an electric wheelchair and Gary and his team could not have been more professional. The service is knowledge, reliable and friendly and reasonably priced The vehicles are convenient and clean. Our transportation was booked ahead for the whole weekend. The transportation absolutely made our weekend as we went from the football game to museums, restaurants, the legislature and the airport. We cannot thank Sunshine Limousine Service enough for making our weekend a success.

On August 20, 2016 over 65 rides and passengers “Rumbled the Road” to Morden from starting locations in Winnipeg and Steinbach to raise funds and awareness for Muscular Dystrophy. We are excited to announce that this year’s event was our biggest one yet, raising over $3500.00 for client services in Manitoba.

Money raised stays in Manitoba to support our Community Service Fund, assisting people with neuromuscular disorders with the purchase of mobility equipment and supports that are not funded elsewhere.

On behalf of our volunteer planning committee, Muscular Dystrophy Canada, and the people we serve, we would like to thank you for your support in this event. We appreciate you discounting the price on your accessible limo so that clients who would otherwise not be able to make the trip to Morden could be part of the event!

We are excited about next year’s event — and look forward to working with you again!

We are truly thankful for your support.

Sincerely,

Averill Stephenson – Revenue Development Manager – Muscular Dystrophy Canada

Gary Jakeman and his team provide a fabulous service that is well deserving of your support.

My mother is a 95 year old senior who is still independent in most of her activities of daily living and still living on her own but no longer able to drive. Like many people of her age and generation, and particularly as a woman, she is uncomfortable using the regular cab service.

Mr Jakeman offers an alternative, personalized service that has allowed her to remain active in the world beyond the confines of her condo.

In my opinion, this kind of private transport is a vital contribution to the support of our seniors community and should receive your whole hearted support.

I would like to share my family’s experience with Sunshine Transit, specifically, Gary Jakeman. We first contacted Gary Jakeman in late summer 2015, as we were looking for a limo service to accommodate my parents to drive them to their 75th Wedding Anniversary party at the Pavillion in City Park, Winnipeg. My father was 100 years old on Sept 5th, 2015, and my mother was 97 years old. They were both using wheelchairs, but my Dad could shift himself from his wheelchair to a seat in a vehicle; however, my mother needed to stay seated in her wheelchair. This was a very very special occasion in so many ways for my parents, and we wanted them to go to their Anniversary party in STYLE!!! My parents had never in their lives been inside a limo and they also had never had a proper wedding ceremony as they were very poor. This was a huge big deal for them, and we wanted them to be treated like royalty. We wanted them to have the wedding-like experience that they never got to have. 
 
I had called Gary and inquired about his services. He was extremely polite, professional, and very informative over the phone. I knew right away that this was the company I wanted to surprise my parents with. Gary really seemed to “get it” about what we wanted for my parents. He showed up a little earlier than expected to make sure that no one was waiting for him. He was extremely patient and waited for the “bride and groom” to be ready to go….wheelchairs and all. The vehicle was beautiful, immaculate, and obviously very well kept. Gary made sure that everyone was buckled in properly and comfortable before leaving for the park. He was very respectful and kind to all of us and especially to my Mom who had the front row seat. We had an extremely smooth and comfortable ride to the park. When we arrived, Gary took his time to ensure that both my parents were taken out of the vehicle and escorted to the party. When the party ended, I called Gary for our pick up, and he was there within minutes. It was like having their own private driver for the night for my parents. They felt so excited and treated royally. It was an amazing experience for them!
 
Two months after the party, my Dad took very sick and ended up in palliative care at Riverview Hospital. Without going into all the details, we requested Gary’s services again to drive my Mom back and forth from her residence to the hospital daily. We never knew exact times for going and coming, but Gary ensured that he was always available to help my Mom to see her husband daily as he was quickly failing. He was in Riverview for approximately 9 days before passing away on November 25th, 2015. I don’t know what we would have done without Gary and his extremely kind, respectful, and considerate nature. We had tried on one occasion to transport my mom by using handibus, and the ride was so bumpy, that my mom was actually screaming and crying her head off for the whole entire trip. I thought she was going to break a rib from all the bumping around. I couldn’t bare to see my 97 year old mother suffer like that. I resolved from that moment on, to treat my mother to the transportation that she deserved and required. So we always used Gary’s services after that for my mom. He was at our beck and call whenever we needed him no matter what the time of day or night or even through the night. Gary was there for us when we needed him for the funeral service procession as well. 
 
I don’t live in Winnipeg, but whenever I visit there to see my mom, I always call Gary for transportation for my mother wherever she needs to go. 
 
I can’t say enough about Gary and his limousine service. He is extremely professional, kind, considerate…..and really keeps his vehicle looking immaculate at all times. This is such a well needed transportation service in Winnipeg for anyone who is in a wheelchair and wants to be driven in style and grace.
 
I would highly support, recommend, and encourage Gary’s fleet to grow as I believe he has an amazing service and deserves the opportunity to grow his business. As a former business coach and consultant in Calgary, I see that Gary has all “the right stuff” to grow into a thriving business with the help of more vehicles.
 
Thank you so much, Gary!!! I’m sure we’ll see you again soon.
 
Good luck with the growth of your business!

In Winnipeg we need more wheelchair accessible vans like Sunshine. In the winter time you need a accessible van to go to the doctors or for groceries or even a night at the movies, we need reliable van service.  Which right now we don’t have this kind of service, when you call for a accessible wheelchair van your are told you need to make arrangement a least two days in advance. This is not acceptable! When I need a accessible van I call Gary at Sunshine, He has always been able to help me out. It doesn’t matter what time of day or night he has always been able to send a van or even himself has come and picked me up and taken me home.  I greatly thank him for his service. I’m also the wheelchair rugby program coordinator here in Winnipeg, whenever we need a accessible van for our athletes to come to practice (Two times a week) or when we host a tournament we rely on Sunshine to get the athletes to and from the gym safely.

Whenever I call Duffs or Unicity for a wheelchair accessible van I always get denied because I don’t have an account or I didn’t phone and request a van two days in advance. We need more Accessible van on the road in Manitoba/Winnipeg to accommodate all the wheelchair user and seniors who need to get around the city of Winnipeg.

Please allow more Accessible Wheelchair Vans on the road which will help out the Disabled community in many ways by giving them the opportunity to live a life with the assurance that they can get around the city to be able to take care of their personal business and visit with friends and family.

Best Regards
A. Smith

Sunshine Transport provides a driving service that is perfect for seniors and their special needs.  Sunshine Transport picks up my mother at a prearranged time and location and is driven to her destination.  However, Sunshine and its drivers do not simply “drop” my mother off.   They ensure she is walked safely into the building and then ensures that she is placed in the care of her family.  My mother is a very fit 89 year-old who unfortunately cannot drive her vehicle any longer.  However, she loves to visit her children and her grandchildren and finding transportation in order for her to maintain this independence was very important to us. The service that Gary provides is not simply unique to our family as it could be a service that provides invaluable relief to other families in similar situations.

Seniors may have both physical and mental challenges, which must be handled with patience, understanding and compassion.  My mother, and other seniors, require a driving service that has an insight and an appreciation for their specialized needs. We are very grateful that we have discovered Sunshine Transport and the unique service they provide, as it has greatly enhanced the life of my mother and our family.

Sincerely,

M. Gauthier

The women who were picked up at Grant Park Shopping Centre on six occasions this past winter and delivered to the Manitoba Theatre Centre wish to thank Sunshine Limo Service and your drivers for the wonderful service we received. You were always right on time at both ends of the trip and we really enjoyed both our drivers. We consider ourselves so fortunate to have discovered your company. It provides such a valuable service to seniors with mobility issues.

We have renewed our tickets for next season and have already booked our trips with you up to the end of the year.

We hope you have a busy summer and that your new stretch limo gets well broken in. We hope we get a chance to ride in it in the fall.

Thank you again for providing a much needed service and doing it so well.
