About Modo The Car Co-op

Our Story

Vancouver's carsharing co-operative started out in 1997 as a group of 16 people sharing two cars in the West End. 14 years later, we've expanded throughout Metro Vancouver with over 7,000 members sharing a fleet of over 240 vehicles.

Modo The Car Co-op has one mission: to make car owners carsharers. In doing so, we help create better communities. Studies show that each shared car removes up to 15 cars from our roads. That means better air quality; safer, less crowded streets; and cleaner water. Our low prices makes carsharing the affordable option over private ownership and improves access to mobility. And because we consider ourselves part of a sustainable transportation system, we support other active forms of transportation.

A true co-operative, Modo shares technical infrastructure with other carsharing organizations in North America and is part of the North American Ethical Code for Carsharing. We have "roaming" agreements with Victoria Car Share Co-op, Kootenay Carshare Co-op, CarShareHFX (Halifax), and City CarShare (San Francisco), and are working to expand that network.

We have many wonderful stories to share about our community and environmental support. Get in touch with us or follow our journey on The Change.
