If you’re a rideshare driver tired of high commissions, delayed payments, and poor support, you’re not alone. Many platforms promise flexibility—but fall short where it matters most: fairness.
LocalRide is Canada’s newest ride sharing service built specifically with drivers in mind. And if you’re looking for the best ride share company to work for, your search ends here.
Why Drivers Are Choosing LocalRide Over Other Ride Hailing Companies
In today’s gig economy, drivers have options—but not all platforms treat you with the same respect. Traditional ride hailing services often take 25–30% in commissions, provide poor app transparency, and offer limited support.
LocalRide changes the game by offering:
- 0% commission during your first month
- A clean, easy-to-use ride sharing platform with fare transparency
- Real, responsive support
- Tools that help you track rides, earnings, and mileage
- Local expansion based on real driver and rider needs
This is why so many are calling LocalRide the best ride share company to work for in Canada.
Transparent Earnings That Drivers Can Trust
LocalRide provides drivers with a complete earnings dashboard. In your Driver App, you can track:
- Your total daily and weekly rides
- Fare amounts and distance charges
- Commissions deducted (after the first month)
- Your take-home pay—clearly displayed
Unlike most online cab booking companies, we don’t hide fees or inflate rider prices to your disadvantage.
We believe that a ride sharing service should be transparent and easy to understand—for both riders and drivers.
LocalRide Launches June 27 in Ontario
LocalRide will launch in seven Ontario cities to start:
- Brantford
- Cambridge
- Kitchener
- Waterloo
- Woodstock
- Paris
- Ancaster
We chose these locations because they are often underserved by larger ride hailing companies. That makes this the perfect opportunity to join early and start building your presence.
Drivers from these regions can begin onboarding now.
