Frequently askedquestions
Short answers about Qlyp. For a specific case, contact support@qlyp.ca or our WhatsApp, SMS, and phone channels.
Booking
Can I book without downloading the app?
Yes. Send a message via WhatsApp or SMS to +1 438-900-5021, or call +1 450-912-3227. You get the same price and live tracking as in the app.
What is the difference between direct mode and offer mode?
In direct mode, Qlyp calculates the price in advance using the zone's rules and sends the offer to a nearby, well-rated driver, who has a few seconds to accept. In offer mode, you propose your price within the limits shown; drivers can accept, make a counter-offer, or pass, and you choose among the offers received. Offer mode is suggested by default for delivery and moving. See how it works.
Can I raise my offer?
Yes. In offer mode, you can raise your offer if none of the replies suits you. Once an offer is accepted, the price is firm.
Can I schedule a ride in advance?
Yes. Planned rides can be booked from 30 minutes to 7 days in advance. You receive reminders the evening before, 1 hour and 15 minutes before departure.
Can I book a ride for someone else?
Yes. The person you book for receives the driver's details, live tracking, and a boarding code by text — no app needed.
Can I cancel a ride?
Yes, you can cancel before the driver begins pickup. See our terms and conditions for details.
Can I add stops to my ride?
Yes, up to 10 stops in a single trip — daycare, grocery store, home — all in one booking.
How can hotels offer Qlyp to their guests?
With Qlyp Pro, a simple QR code in the room is enough. Guests text or WhatsApp their request and a driver shows up — no app download required.
Pricing & payment
How is my fare calculated?
The fare is calculated by our servers using public zone-based rules — taxes, tolls, and CTQ levies are included and itemized. The amount shown is final: you accept it before departure, with no surprises on arrival. Learn more on How it works.
Can I propose my own price?
Yes. In the app, a slider lets you submit your own offer. Drivers respond in real time with their bids, and you choose the one that works for you.
Is gratuity included in the fare?
For limousine rides, gratuity is included in the displayed fare. For other rides, you can add a tip through the app after your trip.
Do I receive a receipt after my ride?
Yes. Every ride generates a detailed receipt that breaks down the fare, taxes, tolls, and applicable levies.
How does Qlyp differ from traditional taxi service?
Qlyp brings together the best of traditional taxi and modern ridehailing: book by phone or SMS as you always could, with a fare calculated and displayed upfront, live tracking, and multiple vehicle levels.
How does shared riding work?
With shared rides, you save up to 35% on your trip. Each passenger receives their own receipt and their own boarding code.
Safety
How are drivers verified?
Every driver provides their SAAQ documents, passes an 11-point vehicle inspection, and submits a verified selfie before receiving rides. Qlyp sends alerts before documents expire. Learn more on Safety.
What is the boarding code for?

Yes. You can send a live tracking link valid for 72 hours to anyone — no app needed on their end.
Is my phone number protected?
Yes. Calls between passengers and drivers are masked: neither party sees the other's real number.
What if there is an emergency during my ride?
If you are in immediate danger, call 911 first. You can then use the app's SOS button: it also offers to call 911 and can alert up to 3 emergency contacts and Qlyp's on-call team with a tracking link. It does not replace emergency services.
What is the SOS button?

How do I add emergency contacts?
In the Qlyp or Qlyp Pilote app: Profile, then Emergency contacts. You can save up to 3 people (name and phone number). Make sure they agree before you add them.
How do I recognize my driver's vehicle?
Before boarding, you see the driver's name and photo, as well as the vehicle's make, model, and color.
