Still time to take advantage of our special lower overnight rates!

Never lose the fuel card again! Don't be that member! :)

Don’t be that member who loses or pockets the fuel card! We’re adding wrist straps and instruction cards to all our fuel cards! They will be coming to a Modo near you over the coming weeks so keep an eye out for them.

ICBC Distracted Driving Campaign

Modo is happy to be once again supporting ICBC's Eyes Forward Campaign. Here are some ways you can avoid being a distracted driver. #EyesFwdBC 

• No call, text or email is so important it’s worth risking your life. Let calls go to voicemail and ignore your text messages while driving.
• Turn it off and put it out of sight to avoid the temptation to check your phone.
• Assign a designated texter. Ask your passengers to make or receive calls and texts for you.
• Pull over to make or receive a call, when it’s safe to do so. For longer journeys, look for signs at highway rest areas, some of which now provide free Wi-Fi.
• Choose to activate ‘Do Not Disturb While Driving’ feature, coming soon for iPhone users.

Pro-tip: Spring cleaning

It's been a long, cold, west coast winter but thankfully spring is just around the corner! Our fleet team does their best to make sure our vehicles are in top shape for you, but as a member-owned carsharing service, we rely on our members to leave the vehicles clean and tidy in order to maintain an enjoyable driving experience for everyone. Especially after a longer trip, the car might need some extra love and attention.

You can help us stay "spring clean" and earn free drive time at the same time! Read more on the blog.

Quick Poll

February on the west coast brings longer days, hints of spring, Valentine's and a long weekend to boot. What Modo vehicles do you enjoy using for these special days?
