Rates

This extraordinary perk is exclusive to Open Plus and Value plans members. If cheaper, any trip made with a FLEX vehicle will automatically be charged at the most economical rate. This comparison will be made no matter the duration of the trip, however a minimum of 4 hours will be charged if round-trip vehicle rates are applied.

Here is an example, using Value Extra plan rates:

• If you use a FLEX car for 2 hours and drive 20km, you will be charged only $15.80 ($2.60/hr x 4 + 27¢/km x 20). The regular FLEX rate would have been $25.50 ($12.75/hr x 2).
• The benefit is even greater if you keep the vehicle longer. For example, for 3 hours/20km, the price for the trip remains $15.80, versus $38.25 ($12.75/hr x 3).

Try out your own scenarios and see how much you can save with this advantageous feature of the Open Plus or Value plans.

For trips that require traveling a lot of kilometres, Communauto offers through all Value plans highly advantageous daily and weekly Long Distance rates. This pricing formula also allows you to take advantage of cheaper prices per kilometre than the regular rate provided in your Value plan.

Long distance rates are applied automatically upon completion of the trip, for FLEX and round-trip vehicles. Depending on the total kilometres the best rate offered per plan will be applied.

From June 15 to October 15 (high season):

^*A charge of $10/h applies for each additional hour, the maximum being the cost of an extra day.

Value plans members automatically enjoy the Open Plus plan rates when calculating the trip price if it works out to be cheaper for them.

For example, if you do a quick one-hour round trip to drop someone off and drive 60km, this trip will end up costing you only $18.40 instead of being charged $28.65, $23.80 or $18.80, respectively, depending on whether you are enrolled in the Value, Value Plus or Value Extra plan.

Use a vehicle for the flat rate of $19.50 per day, with 40km included! This great bargain is exclusive to Value Extra plan members and only applies on trips made with round-trip vehicles. It does not apply to trips made with FLEX vehicles, even if the trip ends up being charged at round-trip rates (see “Access to FLEX vehicles at the round-trip vehicle price of your Open Plus or Value plan if cheaper”).

Terms

• $19.50 per day flat fee.
• 40 km included, 27¢ per additional km.
• Available Monday to Friday only.
• Max. of 10 consecutive hours. If your trip exceeds this period, it will be fully charged at your regular plan rates.
• An unbilled period from midnight to 6am is included (one more hour than when regular Value Extra rates apply). This means that, for example, you can pick up the car at 5pm and return it the next day at 9am (16 hours later) without incurring any extra costs.

Once you’ve located a FLEX vehicle using our mobile app, you can block it free of charge for up to 30 minutes, giving you time to reach it. You can block the same vehicle one additional time if you do not access it within the first 30 minutes.

A time credit of 20 minutes will be applied for any trip of an hour or less billed at the FLEX vehicle rate if it costs at least $20 (taxes included) to fill up the tank.

In the case of a trip of less than 20 minutes, the maximum credit will be equivalent to the length of the trip.

During winter, a credit of up to 15 minutes is applied to your trip for snow removal. Your billed trip time will begin when you start driving, or 15 minutes after you unlock the vehicle, whichever comes first.

The snow removal credit is applied regardless of the weather. If you use more than one FLEX vehicle in a day, the credit applies to each vehicle used. If you happen to use the same vehicle again during the day, the credit will only apply once.

The goal of this policy is to give you the best value by only charging you for the time you use the vehicle.
