πŸ”

Search Trips

Browse available trips by corridor, date, and departure time. See driver profiles, ratings, and vehicle type.

πŸ’Ί

πŸ—ΊοΈ

⭐

Arrive & Rate

Driver marks trip complete, payment releases. Both of you rate each other to build the community's trust layer.

Safety First on Every Trip

Highway 63 is one of Canada's busiest and most challenging corridors. We built safety into every step of the NorthRun rideshare experience.

  • βœ“
    Commercial Licence Required: Every driver holds an Alberta Taxi Plate, uRide approval, active Uber/Lyft status, or a TNC permit issued by their municipality.
  • βœ“
    $2M Commercial Insurance: Drivers must carry commercial auto insurance with a TNC endorsement β€” personal auto policies are not accepted.
  • βœ“
    Clean Driving Abstract: Obtained from Alberta Registries. No Criminal Code convictions in the last 5 years and no more than 6 demerit points.
  • βœ“
    Annual Re-Verification: Insurance and licence expiry are tracked. Drivers get a 30-day renewal warning β€” failure to renew suspends rideshare access automatically.
  • βœ“
    Live GPS Tracking: Your route is tracked in real time and shareable with anyone you trust.
  • βœ“
    Road Condition Alerts: Drivers receive live Alberta 511 highway alerts for Highway 63 directly in the app.
