Discover the new features of the Communauto app!

We’re thrilled to introduce some handy new features that will further enhance your experience with our app.

The new version will be available tomorrow October 22nd in the App Store and Google Play Store; update it to try out the new features!

Trip Sharing

This new option is sure to please users in a family account! Now with trip sharing, all members of a family membership can access round-trip vehicles reserved by another member of the household via their own app. Now everyone can start a trip or manage a reservation even if it was made by another member of the household. Only shared trips can be managed.

What you’ll love:  

  • Smooth, easy collaboration: reserve a vehicle and let your partner (or child, or any other household member) pick it up by accessing it from their app.  
  • Greater flexibility: end a trip or manage a reservation made by another account member, just as if you had made the original reservation.  

Simplified FLEX block extension 

No more need to panic when you want to reblock your FLEX! Gain peace of mind thanks to a notice that now appears when your first block is about to expire (less than 5 minutes remaining), allowing you to add a further 30 minutes to the blocking period.

Please note that the extension counts as a block, so you can always just reserve a FLEX for one hour in total!  

And even more new features! 

  • EV energy levels: Check the charge level of electric vehicles when you make a round-trip booking, so you know how much range you have before you start your trip.
  • Enhanced performance: We’ve made significant improvements to the app’s performance for a smoother, faster experience.

2023 is here and the entire team wishes you a happy new year!

We’re kicking off the year by sharing a great accomplishment for the Communauto family. 

It is with great pride that we announce the appointment of Benoît Robert, CEO and founder of Communauto, to the Order of Canada “for his contribution to the development of the carsharing industry and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions”. The Order of Canada is the highest civilian honour in Canada. It recognizes individuals from all sectors of society who have made extraordinary and lasting contributions to Canada. Discover the press release and the complete list of 2022 nominees.

Nothing better to start a new year on the right foot!

This accomplishment is a great occasion to look back on the road taken so far. We take this opportunity to share with you some key dates and figures: 

For the past 28 years, our president has mobilized all Communauto’s teams to offer you a more sustainable way to get around. We are also continually collaborating with several players in the public transit industry to offer citizens complementary and alternative solutions for sustainable mobility to make our cities greener. 

So, we share this nomination with you, dear carsharers who contribute to our mission.  

Nevertheless, we are not resting on our laurels and will continue to multiply our efforts to offer you a sustainable alternative to car ownership.  

 We look forward to continuing this journey with you!
