Do I need an account?

No. You can book as a guest.

How far ahead can I book?

Up to 180 days ahead online. For airport rides, 12 hours or more is recommended, and areas +$25 and above need 24 hours. Shorter-notice requests are confirmed if a driver is available.

Are you available 24/7?

Yes. We take rides around the clock, subject to availability and confirmation.

Can I book for someone else?

Yes. Add the passenger's details and they'll get the pickup, tracking and arrival messages. Payment and receipts can come to you.

Can I ask for a specific driver or vehicle?

Add it to your booking notes. We'll try, but it isn't guaranteed.

Prices

What does the $39 offer include?

A pre-booked private Essential ride between a Base-area address and Halifax Stanfield: $44 before HST, minus the $5 Pay Online saving. Other areas add a zone charge, shown before you book.

Are prices shown with tax?

Fares are shown before HST. Your exact total, with tax, appears before you confirm.

Can my price change after I book?

Not for traffic, a longer drive or a route we choose. It changes only for something you ask for, such as an extra stop, extra waiting or a new destination.

Do you use surge pricing?

No surge or holiday pricing. Long-distance rides that start between 11 PM and 6 AM add $10.

Can I track my driver?

Yes. A live tracking link arrives once your driver is on the way, along with their vehicle and plate details.

What if my flight is delayed?
