Poparide is a city-to-city carpooling app with over members in Canada, and lets drivers who have empty seats offer them to passengers in return for gas money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can get a ride from Vancouver to Kelowna<\/a> for around $50 in someone’s car, and it will take you 4 – 5 hours to drive the 400 kms, depending on the weather. In winter, there can be delays due to the Coquihalla Highway high mountain pass which often gets snow and can slow you down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drop-off in Kelowna is usually in a central location but make sure to ask drivers first where they are headed in the city before booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All drivers and passengers are verified on Poparide so that everyone travels safely. You pay for your ride online, similar to how you pay on Airbnb or Uber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
