Toronto Rideshare: The 5 Driving Platforms That You Need To Know About

Ride Sharing

instaryde

InstaRyde desires to unite people through technology. We are a local app, developed in the city we call home, Toronto.

We are proud to be a Canadian-grown start-up and we are working hard to scale to a city near you.

We saw the shortcomings in other ridesharing platforms, so we created InstaRyde: an on-demand app that puts a safe, reliable and
affordable ridesharing experience at the tip of your fingers. InstaRyde gives you premium access to the perfect drive, courtesy of our first-rate community.  Booking 

Uber

The hugely popular cashless Uber app lets you order a car right to your door and watch on the map as it arrives. You can choose between a range of vehicle options that each vary in price but remain a fixed rate for each ride. Just beware of surge pricing.

Facedrive

This Canadian startup aims to pay its drivers better than Uber and offer them the opportunity to be a part of a cooperative business structure. They have a small number of cars on the road so wait times can be slow.

Taxify

This European car sharing company has a sleek and simple app design and is basically a no frills alternative to Uber.

Lyft

Lyft isn't in Toronto just yet but it's the competition to Uber we've been waiting for. It offers similar features like cost splitting and advanced booking. Perhaps the biggest difference is Lyft uses identifying markers ('amps') for their cars. Launch is sometime this December.
