How Much Does IV Therapy Cost in BC?

If you've started looking into IV therapy, you've probably noticed prices are all over the map — and it's not always clear what you're actually paying for. Here's a clear breakdown of what drives IV therapy pricing in BC, and what to expect.

What the market typically looks like

Across BC, IV therapy sessions commonly run $200 and up, depending on the clinic, the formulation, and what's included in the visit. Prices vary based on a few key factors:

  • Formulation complexity — a basic hydration drip costs less than a specialized blend with multiple added vitamins
  • Provider type — clinics with licensed medical or naturopathic oversight often price differently than spa-style or pop-up IV bars
  • Booking pathway — some clinics require a consultation before treatment, which can be bundled into the price or charged separately
  • Location and overhead — clinics in higher-cost areas tend to price accordingly

What you're actually paying for

Price differences usually come down to more than just the bag of fluid. What can vary between providers includes:

  • Who's administering the IV (nurse, physician, or less qualified staff)
  • Whether a proper health screening happens before treatment
  • The quality and sourcing of the vitamins and additives used
  • Whether you're getting a one-size-fits-all drip or a formulation matched to your specific goal

Travelvax's IV pricing

As part of our soft launch at the Richmond and Burnaby locations, IV pricing starts at $158 — below the typical $200+ range seen elsewhere in BC, while still including the same standard of care: a proper intake process, licensed oversight, and a formulation matched to whether you're looking for travel recovery or general wellness support.

This introductory pricing reflects our soft launch phase as we roll out the service — a good time to try IV therapy if you've been curious but held off due to cost elsewhere.

Which option should you book?

  • Travel IV — designed around pre- and post-trip needs like jet lag, dehydration, and travel fatigue
  • Wellness IV — designed for general hydration, recovery, and wellness support outside of a travel context

Is cheaper always better?

Not automatically — the same caution applies here as with any medical or wellness service. What matters is that the provider is properly licensed, the intake process is thorough, and the formulation is actually suited to what you need. Our soft launch pricing is about making the service more accessible during rollout, not cutting corners on care.
