Rideshare in Regina SK — Complete 2026 Guide

For the first time since Uber arrived in 2019, Regina has a real choice in rideshare. GoHive, a Transportation Network Company built in Regina by a University of Regina student, went live on the Apple App Store in April 2026 — and it runs on a different deal: drivers keep 100% of the driver fare, riders see every fee before they book, and there is no surge pricing. Ever.

This guide covers who operates in Regina, what a ride actually costs line by line, how to start driving, and what Saskatchewan's rules require.

Rideshare options in Regina

Two app-based rideshare services operate in Regina today:

• GoHive — founded in Regina in 2026, Saskatchewan registered business SR1961585. Two apps on the Apple App Store: GoHive Rider for passengers and GoHive Captains for drivers.
• Uber — the national platform, operating in Regina since 2019 under the Saskatchewan Vehicles for Hire framework.

Regina's taxi companies (United Group of Taxis, Capital Cabs, Regina Cabs) still run alongside both apps and remain the right call when you need to book by phone.

GoHive vs Uber — which is better?

On a typical trip, GoHive is cheaper for the rider and pays the driver more. Take 3.8 km from Rose Street to the University of Regina, about 12 minutes in normal traffic:

• Rider: approximately $9.80 on GoHive versus $12.65 on Uber — about $2.85 (23%) less, and the gap grows in peak hours because GoHive never applies surge multipliers.
• Driver: the GoHive Captain keeps the full $7.95 driver fare on that trip. The Uber driver receives roughly $6.54 of the $12.65 the rider paid — about half the ticket, after Uber's commission and fees.
• Transparency: GoHive itemises every line — base, distance, time, City of Regina fee, insurance & payment fee, GST — before the rider taps Confirm.
