We're targeting an estimated May 30, 2026 for the public launch on Haida Gwaii. Join the waitlist to get early access and updates as we get closer.
Suggested fare is $0.30 per kilometre, with a $5 minimum and a $10 maximum surge over the suggested rate. The platform takes a 17% fee from drivers — among the lowest in the rideshare industry. So a 20 km ride suggests $6, and the driver keeps $4.98.
Four options:
Instead of paying cash, you can offer a skill — electrical, carpentry, tutoring, music lessons, anything — to your driver as payment. Both parties agree on terms in-app, and a small platform fee (the lower of $3 or 3%) keeps it sustainable. The skill is delivered after the ride, and both sides confirm completion.
Visit the For Drivers page and join the waitlist as a driver. You'll upload your driver's license, vehicle registration, and insurance (or boat license + insurance), and we'll review and approve you within 48 hours of launch. There's no monthly fee, no booking fee — you keep 83% of every fare.
Yes — both Skidegate (Xaayda Kil) and Old Massett (Xaad Kil) dialects are built in, alongside English. Every menu, button, and notification can be viewed in the language of the land. We humbly ask Haida elders and language keepers to help us refine the translations — sign up on the homepage as a Haida Steward.
Every Monday, 10% of the previous week's platform profit is automatically donated to the current featured charity. The current charity is Islamic Relief Worldwide, focused on Palestine emergency food aid. Charities rotate over time and are personally vetted for transparency, legitimacy, and impact.
Yes — the Community Car Rental feature lets any local list a vehicle of any year. Platform fees are tiered by vehicle age:
This means older cars keep more value for the owner — fairness baked into the model.
Yes. Card payments go through Helcim's PCI-compliant hosted modal — Ride N Share never sees or stores your card details. Crypto payments go through NOWPayments with on-chain verification. We use HMAC-signed webhooks to prevent payment forgery.
Every shared ride saves an estimated 0.23 kg of CO₂ per kilometre versus solo driving. The app tracks your cumulative savings and shows your impact in the My Impact tab. Trees planted, carbon offset, dollars donated — all in one place.
It's our motto. Sharing rides reduces emissions, keeps money circulating locally, and honours the land we live on. Good for you (your wallet, your time), good for me (the driver earning more, the community connecting), and good for the trees (less carbon, more stewardship).
In the app, every ride has a "Dispute" button after completion. Tap it, describe the issue, and our team will review within 24 hours. For pre-launch questions, email hello@ridenshare.ca.
We'd love to hear from you. Reach out and we'll get back within 48 hours.
