We're opening the doors to Learner Drivers

 

We're excited to announce that effective now, drivers 16+ with an 'L' (Learner) designation or better can join Modo as "Green Members!"

 

With summer break upon us, it’s a great time for teens and adults alike to get some practice driving hours in and get a taste for carsharing first-hand. We're thrilled to be the first carshare company in North American to allow learner drivers and hope this move will inspire a new generation to choose sharing over ownership!

 

Learn more about the program and eligibility on our website and read the press release on the blog.

Look for our new mirror caps!

Check out our new look! We know it can sometimes be tricky to find your Modo - especially in busy underground parking lots. We hope these bright contrast mirror caps will help you spot your Modo. It may take a while to get through our fleet of 600+ vehicles, but eventually, they’ll all look like this!

Not sure where to find the fuel card? What type of fuel should you be using? How full should you leave the gas tank?

Jul 1- 8 — Victoria Pride Week 

The Victoria Pride Society was born from a casual picnic in Beacon Hill Park over 20 years ago. Since the time of its creation, the Victoria Pride Society has focused on supporting the inclusiveness, accessibility, and diversity of Pride Week events. Today, they are one of a few national Pride Societies who encourage all people to walk the Pride parade route – generating thousands of people ‘proudly’ walking the streets of Victoria for themselves, colleagues, or loved ones. There will be tons of great events all week concluding with the Victoria Pride Parade on July 8th. Learn more here.
