Description

Do you commute? Now there is a carpooling app for that! For a limited time, get $10 off your first ride or drive with Spare Rides using coupon code SPAREROCKS.

Spare Rides connects you with people in Metro Vancouver for an great carpooling experience.

- How does Spare work?
I'm glad you asked! Just set up your commuting schedule as a rider or driver (or both) and let Spare take care of the rest.

- How can I ride with Spare?
Riding with Spare is very easy. Just set up a ride trip with the tap of a button, and get picked up by a nearby community driver that will take you to your destination.

- How can I drive with Spare?
Everyone can be a community driver! Community drivers use Spare to help cover the cost of owning a car. No fixed schedule is required, making the service very different from traditional carpooling services. You will get matches with riders on your route, making sharing frictionless.

What's New in Version 3.0.3

Bug fixes and performance improvements. ;)

------- New in 3.0.0 -------

Aaaaand were back with another awesome big update. Over the past couple months we worked really hard to improve the reliability of Spare and in order to do that we're excited to announce two big new features: routes and trip matching and guaranteed trips!

Byebye create--->request--->accept--->trip. Hello easy, effortless trip matching. Instead of requesting your matches, Spare now will do that for you and provide you with all your trip details the night before. Easy eh?

Spare now also operates on certain routes that are best for using Spare. With this we are drastically improving the reliability - so reliable that we are guaranteeing your trip! If for some reason you don't get matched, regardless of whether you are a driver or a rider, we will pay you as if you had. For a rider that means you'll get a payment to help go towards alternative transportation, and as a driver we will pay you as if you had someone in the car. It really doesn't get better than this.

As always, were here to help. Just tap on "Send us a Message" in the settings of the app and we will respond right away!

Happy Sparing. :)
