Book a Winterized Modo for the Holidays!

 

'Tis the time of year where the first snowfall hits the roads of British Columbia. On a recent adventure, Modo Ambassador, Nicola, and her friends packed up their car with winter gear and took a Modo to the mountains. Here are some of Nicola's pro-tips on how you can save money and stay safe on the roads this winter with Modo.  

 

Lower Overnight Rates 

Save money and only pay for 2.5 hours of drive time from 7pm-9am. It's perfect for after-work holiday shopping and festivities with friends, then dropping it off the next morning. Talk about convenience! 

 

Large & Loadables

Fit more gear & friends in your vehicle this winter. Take a roomier Modo, like a mini-van, SUV, or truck up to the mountains.

 

Winterized Fleet

Over 100+ Modo vehicles are equipped with winter tires and ice scrapers to get you where you to need to go safely. You can even filter your search to book a winterized vehicle online.

 

Poparide

Headed to a popular destination like Whistler mountain with room to spare? You can help offset the cost of your booking by putting your empty seats up on Poparide. It's a great way to meet new people too!
