How to Book in Commercial Drive: Step-by-Step

Vancouver's companion community is professional and straightforward to engage. A clear, respectful message is the foundation of every successful booking.

Making First Contact

Most Commercial Drive companions list a preferred contact method — text or WhatsApp is standard. Begin with your name, preferred date and time, duration, and whether you want incall or outcall. For outcall, include your hotel name and the nearest cross-streets so the companion can estimate travel time within Commercial Drive.

What to Include in Your Message

A well-formed enquiry reads: "Hi [Name], I found your listing on LeoList.vc. I'd like to book [duration] on [date] at [time] — incall at your address / outcall at [hotel name] in Commercial Drive. My name is [first name]. Please confirm availability and rates in CAD." Clear, complete messages receive priority responses.

Payment

Cash in Canadian dollars at the start of the appointment is the universal standard. E-transfer, Interac, or any advance payment request is a red flag — do not send money before meeting in person.
