Modo Moves

For a list of all moves in the Lower Mainland, Greater Victoria and Nanaimo please visit our blog.

Victoria – Downtown

LOCATION MOVE: we no longer have our parking spot at Grindstone Café - so our 2017 white Toyota Corolla (#883) has moved to a new location at Chatham & Government, a Robbins parking lot on the south side of Chatham Street between Government Street and Douglas Street.

Victoria – Fairfield

NEW LOCATION at Howe & Dallas: a 2017 white Toyota Prius C (#938) now lives on the east side of Howe Street, just north of Dallas Road in an on-street space marked with a city parking sign and white curb.

Victoria – Fernwood

NEW LOCATION at Pandora & Harrison: a 2017 white Honda Fit (#975) now lives behind Pandale Place apartments at 1368 Pandora Avenue - just where Pandora Ave and Begbie St separate.

Pro Tip: Modo to the US

We frequently get asked by members if it's possible to take a Modo to the United States. Good news: It is! Our fleet insurance covers you to drive anywhere in Canada and the US.

Our advice before you go: Give yourself a bit of extra time to inspect your Modo—inside and out—so you can say with confidence you know all contents of the vehicle. 

"You can book in increments as small as 15 minutes, so if you need a car for 26 hours, you don't end up paying for two full days like you do with a rental." — Emma Gilchrist, Modo Ambassador.

What you need to know before you take a Modo across the border.

Take a Trip: EV to Oak Bay

Take a Modo to the beach and "unplug" for the day. Modo Ambassador Emma Gilchrist took the Dockside Green Kia Soul EV for a trip to the beach—her first EV trip ever!

Emma's review: "It was sooo fun! Peppy, silent and kinda space age".

Modo: Kia Soul EV

Features: No Fuel Card! 175km range (full charge)

Staff Tip: If there is less than 30kms range left at the end of your trip, please call Modo so we can book it off for a full charge
