Tips from our Pros: Keep Your Modo Fur-Free

When it comes to your canine and feline companions, Modo is happy to have them along for the ride. However, we have a strict fur-free policy and require that they must travel within a carrier.

Members who stray from our policies can incur hefty fines, so to avoid that, read our latest Tip from Modo's "Fur Prevention Officer", Alissa!

Her Top Tip of the Month? How to accommodate furry friends safely, without infuriating other members.

Getting Nailed and Screwed:

It's not as salacious as it sounds! Actually, we repair 3 to 5 tire punctures weekly caused by nails and screws picked up along the road.

If you notice a soft tire, report it to the Member Loyalty Team as soon as possible. With a phone call, you can help us avoid long-term damage to Modo tires.
