Tips From Our Pros

We know accidents happen; that’s why every Modo driver gets full collision and comprehensive coverage. But did you know we have extended insurance options?

Lesley, Member Loyalty Team member, demystifies our insurance options so you can drive with peace of mind.

On the Road

In temperate weather, a battery can drain within 30–45 minutes. When the temperature drops below 7°C, it can take less than 10 minutes. 

Read more about the causes of battery drain and how you can help prevent them for your fellow members.

Q&A: Interesting Vancouver 2016

Interesting Vancouver is an annual event that brings together Vancouverites over inspiring ideas and stories shared by fascinating speakers.

We talked to Mark Busse and Brett MacFarland, producer and founder of Interesting Vancouver about this year's panel which includes a paranormal investigator, a grief counselor and a competitive kite flyer.
