Ontario Non-Commercial Carpooling Compliance

Under Ontario non-commercial carpooling guidelines, money collected by drivers to offset actual vehicle operating costs (fuel and wear-and-tear) is classified as cost recovery rather than taxable commercial income. Drivers do not operate for commercial profit and are limited to a maximum of 2 trips per day.

Questions & Answers

Cost Sharing & Fee FAQs

Everything you need to know about payments, platform fees, and e-Transfer contributions.

The platform fee covers app maintenance, smartphone match verification, background security checks, customer support, and continuous platform improvements.

No. Drivers post routes for free ($0.00 CAD) and keep 100% of the expense contributions collected directly from riders.

Riders pay the driver directly off-platform using Cash or Interac e-Transfer prior to or upon completion of the trip.

No. Because payments only reimburse actual fuel and vehicle wear-and-tear expenses without profit, Canadian carpooling regulations classify these contributions as non-commercial cost recoveries.

If the driver cancels the trip, the platform connection fee is automatically refunded or credited to the rider's account.

Never. Surge pricing does not exist on Cashride. The platform fee remains fixed and transparent regardless of time or weather conditions.

For a 50 km trip shared with 2 passengers, the per-rider gas contribution is approximately $7.50 CAD, plus the nominal platform fee, making total travel cost remarkably affordable!

The app accepts all major Canadian credit cards, Visa Debit, and Mastercard Debit.
