What can we help you with?

Download our free app (available on iPhone and Android), sign up for Via, and book a ride in a few super easy steps:

STEP 1: Move the map until the blue marker is at your desired pick-up location and press "Confirm my Location." You can also manually type your address in the search bar and select the correct one from the drop down, or choose one of the pre-populated points of interest.

STEP 2: Confirm you’re booking for the correct number of passengers. With Via, you can book up to 6 passengers in one ride booking. If you need to increase the passenger count, you can hit the + button to add an additional passenger or the - button to subtract.

STEP 3: Move the map until the orange marker is at your desired drop-off location and press "Set My Destination." You can also manually type your address in the search bar and select the correct one from the drop down, or choose one of the pre-populated points of interest. Via will check for available vehicles and connect you with the best vehicle for your ride.

STEP 4: Review the ride offer in the proposal screen (you may receive several proposals with different ETAs). Select the one that works best for you and press "Book This Ride." All the details, including exact pick up location and information on the car picking you up, will then be displayed.

There are pre-populated points of interest in the Via app. Select them to navigate quickly to the locations that interest you!

Yes! Via does do both pick up and drop offs at the Sunnyvale Caltrain Station! Simply select the train icon and you will be able to take a Via there.

After you book a ride, the app will display the pick-up location where the vehicle will meet you. Via is a corner-to-corner service, so we’ll pick you up and drop you close to your destinations!

Make sure you’re at the pick-up spot when the vehicle arrives! The app will count down the minutes to your vehicle’s arrival, and we’ll send you a text when the vehicle is two minutes away and again when it arrives. For assistance, you can reply to that text or call our Live Support Team at 669-201-1892 who can help out. Additionally, you can contact the driver partner at any time directly through the app by pressing the small blue phone icon located on the right, at the bottom of the screen. Or, you can use the driver number our Live Support Team provided for that specific ride during the time of booking.

Remember: Via is a community, and you’re sharing your ride with other members. Keeping them waiting results in delays for the whole community, and if you’re more than 2 minutes late, the vehicle will just have to leave. It the only way we can move everyone so quickly at such an incredible price.

Want to track your vehicle while you wait? In the app, zoom out from your pick-up spot or click the small compass icon in the bottom right, and you’ll be able to follow the vehicle on the map as it approaches.

After you set your Pickup and Dropoff in the app, we'll give you an estimated time until your Via arrives. When your car is 2 minutes away, we'll send you a text message to let you know that your ride is getting close. When your ride arrives, we'll send you another text to let you know!

All rides are $4 per person unless you’ve received special pricing from the city. Weekly passes are $25, which gives you 4 Via rides per day! Monthly passes are $75, which also gives you 4 Via rides per day, no matter where in the service zone you go!

The ViaPass is especially designed for our most loyal commuters and makes Via more affordable than ever. To purchase a ViaPass, just open your app "Menu" and head to the section labeled "ViaPass."

Via Cupertino 7-day ViaPass

A 7-day ViaPass costs $25, and includes up to 4 rides per day. This includes rides anywhere in our Cupertino operating zone during Via's operating days and hours. 

The 7-day ViaPass will expire exactly 7 days from the time of activation. The 7-day ViaPass will be auto-renewed until you cancel it. You can cancel your ViaPass subscription at any time in the app by clicking on ViaPass in the app menu, then clicking auto-renew.

Some things to remember for all ViaPasses: 

• The ViaPass is activated when you take your first ride
• Additional fees of $1 per passenger apply for +1s (additional passengers)
• Cancellations and No Shows are charged at $1 each
• The ViaPass is only valid for rides within our Cupertino zone. If you’re using Via while in another Via city, you’ll need to pay for each individual trip, or buy extra Ride Credit or a local ViaPass.

Terms & Conditions: The ViaPass is activated at the time you take your first ride, not at time of purchase, except when a ViaPass auto-renews, in which case activation of the new ViaPass will occur at the time of the expiration of the previously purchased ViaPass. Each ViaPass expires at the end of the stated validity period, to the minute of the activation time. Each individually purchased ViaPass is limited to a single user, account and device (i.e., multiple people cannot share a single ViaPass). ViaPass holders are prohibited from booking a ride on behalf of another person or party, and must be present in all bookings made with their ViaPass. Via Cupertino reserves the right to deactivate any ViaPass it determines to be used in violation of these terms, with immediate effect, and without refunds. A ViaPass holder may book rides for his or her +1’s, though additional fees apply. The ViaPass cannot be combined with other offers or promotions. Charges for ride cancellations and no-show fees will apply. Available while supplies last. Via Cupertino reserves the right to cancel this offer or modify its terms at any time. Via Cupertino does not guarantee the availability of rides.

Yes! Via-cles can accommodate up to 5 passengers at a time. To add an additional person(s) to your ride, simply press the + and - signs using your pick up pin. Each additional passenger is $1 each!

The best way to identify your Via-cle is by checking the license plate number displayed in your app and in the text messages you receive from us. Additionally, our Via-cles have the City of Cupertino and Via logos on them, so you can easily spot them when they pull up. Just check to make sure the license plate number matches and you're all set to board!

When you book your Via, we'll list the information about the car coming to pick you up directly in the ride screen. This will include the license plate number as well as the type of car.

When the Via-cle is approaching, we'll send you a quick reminder text with this information (as well as the pick up spot). Once the vehicle has arrived, you'll receive another text and a "Your Via is here" notice in your app.

Yes, you can create an account over the phone. Please call our live support number at 669-201-1892 and an agent will assist you.

After a ride has been booked, you can cancel it by selecting the "Cancel Ride" option, at the bottom of your phone screen.

Please note that sometimes the "Cancel Ride" button will be hidden on the screen in order to give you more space to view the map. You can find the button again by pressing the grey line on the bottom of your screen just above the vehicle license plate number and description.

Our policy is that for any rides canceled more than 1 minute after booking, Via reserves the right to charge a $2.50 cancellation fee. As soon as a request enters the system, the car assigned is rerouted to accommodate the pick up, so a cancellation can end up adding a slight detour to not just the driver but also the existing passengers in the vehicle. However, if a cancellation occurs because the current ETA is more than 5 minutes greater than the original ETA that was quoted at the time of booking, the system will automatically waive the cancellation fee as we understand that in these situations our members need to be able to make the most informed decision about their ride. We are also happy to waive the cancellation fee in the event of an emergency or unforeseen situation.

Yes! If you need a wheelchair accessible vehicle, please make sure to toggle on the "Wheelchair Accessible" option in your account profile or let our live support member know you need a wheelchair accessible vehicle when creating your account. You will then be matched with a wheelchair accessible vehicle for your ride.

You can always select the “Ride Credit” menu option to see how much value you still have in your account or you can ask one of our Live Support Agents when booking.
