DitchRide
Now recruiting Founding Captains across Alberta

Know the Trip.
Know the Fare.
Before You Drive.

DitchRide is Alberta's first intercity minivan platform. Every trip is prescheduled — you know exactly where you're going, who's riding, and what you'll earn before you ever start the engine. No circling for pings. No burning gas hunting for a fare.

You already own the vehicle. You already know the roads. DitchRide is built around what you already have.

Rideshare made you guess. DitchRide tells you.

Setting your own hours isn't new — every rideshare app offers that. What's actually different is what happens between pickups. Here's the real gap DitchRide is built to close.

Certainty

You know the trip before you accept it

No blind pings. No mystery destination. Every trip on DitchRide is prescheduled, so you know exactly where you're going, who you're driving, and what you'll earn — before you ever start the engine.

Rideshare apps: you accept first, find out after. DitchRide: you know first, drive second.
No Idle Time

No circling, no waiting, no wasted gas

Rideshare driving means burning fuel while you cruise for pings, hunting for parking while you wait, and risking tickets while you sit idle. DitchRide trips are scheduled routes, not a waiting game.

Every km you drive on DitchRide is a km you're actually getting paid for.

You deserve a real say in how this works

You are not joining a finished product. You are helping shape one. Founding Captains get a direct line to the team building this, not a support ticket queue.

DitchRide gives you: direct input on routes, scheduling, and how the platform actually operates day to day.

Be one of the first 50.
Help build this before it's built.

DitchRide is opening 50 Founding Captain spots to Alberta drivers who want in before the platform is public. That kind of early trust deserves something real in return.

Own vehicle, your rules

You drive your own minivan or SUV. We do not assign or lease vehicles.

DitchRide runs on Captains who already own a well-kept minivan or SUV. If that is you, your vehicle is your business, not ours. Full vehicle requirements and onboarding details are shared once you apply.

Driver with his own vehicle

This is what a founding fleet
looks like before launch.

Every Founding Captain who applies gets a real look, not an algorithm. Your city, your vehicle, your terms — reviewed by the actual team building this, not a queue.

  • Real applications reviewed by the founding team
  • New Captains added every week ahead of launch
  • 50 Founding Captain spots total, first come first served

It's your minivan.
It stays that way.

DitchRide doesn't hand you a car and a lease agreement. You already own a well-kept minivan or SUV — that's the whole qualification. No fleet, no vehicle debt, no company logo wrap required.

  • Minivan or SUV, your own registration and insurance
  • No lease, no fleet fees, no company-owned vehicle
  • Full vehicle requirements shared at onboarding

DitchRide is not looking for anyone to drive for us.
We are looking for people to build this with us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before applying as a Founding Captain.

The biggest difference is certainty. On rideshare apps, you accept a ping without knowing the full trip, then find out the destination and fare after you're already committed. On DitchRide, every trip is prescheduled — you see the route, the rider, and the expected earnings ahead of time. There's also no cruising around burning gas waiting for a ping, and no risking a parking ticket while you wait curbside. You drive scheduled trips, not a waiting game.

Yes. DitchRide Captains drive their own minivan or SUV. We do not provide, lease, or assign vehicles. Specific model year and condition requirements are shared during onboarding.

There is no fixed shift requirement. Trips run on an hourly schedule starting at 5:00 AM, and you choose which hourly slots to pick up. This may evolve as the platform grows, but the founding program is built around flexibility within a predictable, prescheduled structure.

It means you are one of the first 50 drivers to join DitchRide, before we are publicly live. In return, you get first choice of routes, early earnings terms, and a direct line to the team shaping how this platform works.

Full earnings terms are shared directly during onboarding, before you commit to anything. Founding Captains get favorable terms locked in ahead of our standard structure.

DitchRide runs on an hourly departure schedule starting at 5:00 AM. Every trip is one of these fixed, prescheduled hourly slots — not a random ping. As a Founding Captain, you pick which hourly slots work for you; you are never guessing when or where the next trip is coming from.

We are in pre-launch. Founding Captains will be notified first as we finalize routes and onboarding, ahead of any public announcement.
