How to Get the Offer

To take advantage of this discount, follow these simple steps:  

Select Your VIA Rail Journey

Visit the VIA Rail website to research your preferred destination and travel dates.

One of the most talked about trips involves travelling through the Rocky Mountains. With observation decks, you’ll have the chance to see Canadian beauty at its finest with the snow-capped mountains right outside your window. This route is known as The Canadian and it’s a transcontinental journey that runs from Toronto to Vancouver, spanning over 4,000 kilometres. It follows the historic Canadian Pacific Railway route. Fun fact: The Canadian launched in 1955 by the Canadian Pacific Railway and it has remained a symbol of cross-country travel.

You can continue travelling west beyond Vancouver with the ferry to Victoria. For more information, click here.

Meanwhile, in central Canada, the busiest and most popular route for Via Rail is the Quebec City-Windsor Corridor, which connects major cities like Quebec City, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, and Windsor. This route has always played a huge role in trade and travel for Canadians and continues to do so today.

Find Your Discount Code

Find the Via Rail listing on the Canoo app under “50% off at VIA Rail“. You’ll see discount codes unique to your profile as you scroll down. These codes are your key to travel and are called Serial Numbers. Copy the codes or simply make a note of them. You can then click on “Get this deal” in the bottom right corner of the screen. You’ll be taken to a VIA Rail page that will outline your next steps. Read the instructions carefully.

When you’re ready, click on Tickets in the top right corner and find your route. Select “Promotion or Convention Discount” as the Discount Type and enter “ICC12” as the Discount Code. You’ll now need to enter your unique 9-digit code into the “Serial Number” field as you’re filling out your passenger information.

Note: The first code is for an adult passenger. The remaining four codes are for four children who can use the same discount with you for this trip. Additionally, this exclusive one-time 50% discount on VIA Rail travel is only valid for Canoo members within their first year of membership.

Once you’ve entered the required information, VIA Rail will automatically calculate the discounted price based on the type of fare you’ve chosen. You’ll then see all of the savings applied to your total.
