Communauto SW Ontario

Answering a commonly asked question this week! Can you drop off a car in a different location from where you picked it up? It depends on the service you choose to use.

A FLEX car can be returned anywhere in the service zone, so you don't need to return it where you picked it up. A round-trip car always returns to the station you picked it up from.

Let us know if there's other questions you'd like us to answer.

🚗📈 Prices going up because everyone suddenly needs a car? Not here.

Communauto doesn’t use surge pricing. That means the price of your trip isn’t automatically increased just because it’s a busy time of day, a sunny Saturday, or everyone’s heading to the beach. ☀️

Whether you’re booking for a busy weekend or grabbing a FLEX on your way home, you pay Communauto’s regular rates.

In Canada, transportation produced 187.7 megatonnes of GHG emissions in 2021, and road transportation was the biggest contributor.

Here's how different ways of getting around compare in grams of CO₂ per kilometre travelled.

As a carsharing member, you're already part of the solution. Research consistently shows that carsharing helps reduce private vehicle ownership and encourages greater use of walking, cycling, and public transit. Together, these choices add up to meaningful emissions reductions and help create healthier, more sustainable communities.

Ever wondered what all the icons on the map mean? 👀

We get it, we offer a lot of different services. The Communauto app has a built-in icon legend that explains exactly what you're seeing, making it even easier to find the right car for your trip.

📍 Here's how to find it:
1. Open the Explore screen in the app.
2. Tap the round icon in the bottom left corner of the screen, just above the Explore icon.
3. Tap Display setting to switch your preferences.

Our cars get a lot of love during the summer. ☀️🚗

Swipe through for a few easy tips to help keep your Communauto clean for the next member—including a few pet-friendly cleanup ideas and what to do if the car could use a little extra TLC.

Every small gesture helps, whether it's taking your garbage with you, wiping up a spill, or brushing off a bit of pet hair.

Thanks for helping keep our shared cars clean and ready for the next adventure. 💙
