Good to know
- Split costs, don't profit: sharing gas is ordinary carpooling, but rules on paid passengers are set by each province, and charging for profit can need commercial insurance. Check with your insurer.
- Winter driving: winter tires are mandatory in Québec from December 1 to March 15, and required on many BC highways from October 1. Check road conditions before long winter trips.
- Ontario, Québec and BC have HOV lanes on some highways (often 2 or more people), and some Ontario HOT lanes also need a permit. Follow the posted signs.
- Agree the price and payment (cash or Interac e-Transfer) before the trip. Prices are shown in Canadian dollars (CAD) per seat.
