The problem

Held captive
without a car.

Once you need to get anywhere outside of Belle River — a medical appointment, the airport, a day in Windsor — you're dependent on expensive taxis, unreliable rideshares, or borrowing someone's vehicle. That's been the reality in Lakeshore for decades. CommonRoad exists to change it.

$3–4K
Annual second car operating cost

Insurance, fuel, and maintenance on a vehicle you already own — that still sits idle most of the day. CommonRoad costs a fraction of that for the same flexibility.

$40+
One-way Uber, Windsor to Belle River

Before tip. Before surge pricing. On a quiet night with no traffic. CommonRoad members make the same trip for around $63 return — and leave when they want to.

Transit options in Lakeshore

No bus. No train. CommonRoad won't solve everything — but it solves the gap for people who can drive.

Simple by design

01

Join & get approved

Apply online with your driver's licence. We verify your record and confirm your membership — usually within 24 hours.

03 🚗

Unlock & drive

Walk to the vehicle, unlock it with the app, and go. Insurance is always included. No paperwork at the pickup.

04 🏠

Return & done

Bring it back to its home spot in Belle River. Plug it in. That's the whole thing — we handle everything else.
