New 8-passenger van at Kingsgate Mall!

Stay safe with winter tires

This winter, 43 Modo vehicles will be equipped with winter tires. All other vehicles are equipped with all-season tires – which may not be enough for a wintry trip to Kamloops or even getting around New West on a snow day. Modo's fleet director, Doug, shares why winter tires are your safest option and tips on how to book these vehicles.
