Become a driver
Share seats on trips you already drive.
Publish seats on trips you already plan across Canada. You choose the route, schedule, seats, and shared amounts within TrustTrip's cost-sharing limits. Passengers reserve documented seats through TrustTrip. You complete driver verification before publishing.
What publishing here means
You stay in control
You decide the route and its stops, the departure time, how many seats you share, and the shared amount per segment (within TrustTrip suggestions and platform limits). TrustTrip never assigns you trips or expects you to drive on demand. You publish what you were going to drive anyway.
Passengers arrive confirmed, not negotiated
Every passenger books before the trip. Confirmed seats and booking details are visible in your driver space, including the exact segment and passenger profile.
Verification is what makes it work
Passengers book with confidence because every driver passed a real review of their identity, licence, and vehicle. That same verification protects you. The platform's trust rules apply to passengers too, including reviews in both directions and consequences for no-shows.
Onboarding, done once
Three steps come before your first published trip. Our team reviews every submission. Publishing stays locked until approval.
- Verify your account — Confirm your contact details and complete account verification, including your phone. This is the same baseline every TrustTrip member goes through. Driver onboarding builds on top of it.
- Submit your driver profile — Provide identity, licence, and vehicle details with supporting documents. Vehicle information later appears as context on your trip pages, so passengers see a reviewed record rather than just a free-text claim.
- Get reviewed and approved — Our team validates your submission. You follow the status live in your driver workspace. Once approved, publishing unlocks while membership, documents, and platform rules remain in good standing.
Publish and run trips
After approval, you create trips from your driver workspace with route preview, per-segment amounts, and full booking management:
Publish your route
Set departure, stops, and destination with route preview, choose the schedule and seats, and set shared amounts per segment. Passengers can book your full route or just a segment between two stops. Each booking shows exactly which portion it covers.
Bookings manage themselves
Confirmed bookings appear in your driver space with passenger context. Seat counts update automatically. Messaging keeps boarding points, timing, and other coordination on the record where support can help if needed.
Trip day and after
Driver tools cover updates, boarding coordination, and trip completion. After an eligible trip, reviews open in both directions. Your review history is what future passengers see when deciding to book with you.
Amounts and payment
You set the shared amount for each published segment within TrustTrip limits. Driver and platform amounts are shown separately. See Pricing for the full breakdown, current platform fees, and payment timing.
See where passengers already want to go
Ride requests show the route, date, and flexibility passengers need when no published trip fits. When you publish a trip on a matching route, the requester is notified. Before choosing which routes to publish, requests show real demand. Routes with open requests have passengers waiting.
Driver FAQ
You set the shared amount for each segment within TrustTrip suggestions and platform limits. Driver and platform amounts are shown separately. See Pricing for the full breakdown.
No. There are no quotas, no required hours, and no penalties for publishing rarely. Publish one trip a year or three a week. The commitment applies to each published trip. Once passengers have confirmed bookings on a trip, you are expected to honour it or cancel under the cancellation policy rules.
Cancel as early as you can. Passengers with active bookings are notified after the cancellation is recorded. The Cancellation policy explains eligibility, reliability impact, and when an affected paid booking may be reviewed for a refund.
Each booking shows the passenger's profile with their trip and review context. Reviews work in both directions, so passengers build reputations too. Coordination happens in platform messaging. If a passenger no-shows or behaves badly, you can review them and report the issue. The trust rules apply to everyone.
