Your fare is locked. The price you see when you book is the price you pay at drop-off. No surge, no surprises, ever. We've refreshed the app with clearer pricing, faster two-tap booking, saved locations, and Apple Pay and Google Pay. Local taxis. Locked fares. Ride Local.

User reviews

Good, small issue but not insurmountable

Used this twice. It’s easy to use. Nice that it takes care of payment. It also has the tip function after you pay. You can see how far away the driver is before you book. And then see them when they are driving. The only small issue is location services. Like I was at Queen E Pitch and Putt and it sent the driver to Queen E (which is a huge park). So then the driver was driving around looking for me. But overall still better than Uber.

Easy app for cheap rides

I used to pay $500 on rides. Now I’m down to $200 using Rilo. Theres always a WAV that I can use. I feel safe and secure

Best of both worlds

Finally Vancouver has the unbeatable local solution for ride-hail service. Best of both worlds, pay fixed lower price for the service provided by a trained & professional driver in a clearly visible/marked vehicle equipped with safety camera.

Blacktop and checker cabs

Very convenient and great cab company ever
