Drive More for Less Overnight!

 

We’re making it more affordable for you to get around this time of year by offering lower overnight rates. 

 

When the rain is tapping at your window and you’re meeting up with friends — or you’re doing some shopping after work — book a Modo and keep it until the next morning at the lowest rate in town and on the road! 

 

Book a Modo from 7pm to 9am and you'll pay for a 2.5-hour flat rate until March 31st.

 

Lower overnight rates apply to Modo Plus, Monthly, and Business accounts with our entire fleet including: daily drives, larges + loadables, and oversizes + premium!

Fun Fact: We have 100+ vehicles equipped with winter tires, including the entire fleet in Kelowna!
