How can I take advantage of these perks with a Station-based car?
How can I take advantage of these perks with a Station-based car? With round-trip vehicles you can take advantage of the on-street and partner lot perks during your reservation. The car must return to the same station you picked it up from by the end of your reserved time.
The exception is on-street station zones, where the round-trip cars are parked on-street within a defined area. For more info see our FAQ. What is a station zone and how does it work? – Centre d’aide – Communauto
How can I take advantage of these perks with a FLEX car?
How can I take advantage of these perks with a FLEX car? With FLEX cars you can take advantage of the perks during your reservation, and can also end your trip at one of these locations. Members should release a FLEX car at a public location where it can safely stay for at least 24 hours.
Do not park FLEX in a Communauto Atlantic station, these are reserved for round-trip vehicles. Stations are marked in solid green on the map
Understanding where to park when driving a FLEX or a Station-based vehicle
All of our vehicles have parking permits so they can be parked on-street where signage allows it. Our parking permits work in all Halifax parking permit zones.
When releasing a FLEX car you must make sure to be back inside our FLEX zone to end your trip.
Check the map on the app or website to see the boundaries of the FLEX zone.
At the end a trip, round-trip vehicles must be returned to their stations. FLEX vehicles must be released within the FLEX zone either on street or at Alderney Landing.
