About HOVR
Fair pay. Fair fares.
We are making getting around more accessible and more equitable: fair pay for drivers, and affordable, reliable rides for riders.
How it started
Hundreds of conversations.
Harrison Amit founded HOVR in 2019. The idea came from the drivers he met on his own commutes to meetings around the Greater Toronto Area.
People drive for all kinds of reasons: to support a family, to send money home, to put children through college and university. What every driver shared was a wish to be paid fairly and treated with respect for the work they do.
On shared rides Harrison asked riders why they chose rideshare and what their trips were like. After hundreds of documented conversations with both, he knew there had to be a better experience for everyone. HOVR is that answer.
