Long Distance rates
For trips that require traveling a lot of kilometers in a short time or that extend beyond a few days, 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 kilometer than the regular rate provided in your Value plan.
Long distance rates are applied automatically upon completion of the trip. Depending on the total kilometres the best rate offered per plan will be applied.
From September to June:
| First day | Additional days | Per week | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time rate * | $34.95 | $29.95 | $149.75 |
| First 300km | 20¢/km | ||
| After 300km | 13¢/km | ||
| Gas and insurance included | |||
In July and August:
| First day | Additional days | Per week | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time rate * | $45.00 | $35.00 | $195.00 |
| First 300km | 20¢/km | ||
| After 300km | 13¢/km | ||
| Gas and insurance included | |||
*A charge of $10/h applies for each additional hour, the maximum being the cost of an extra day.
Choose a vehicle identified by a sun and save even more!
*In July and August (high season), the promotion applies low season rates.
To locate these vehicles, simply select this option when picking the dates of your reservation. Per km fees are not included.
Quick round-trip preferred rate
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 have to do a quick one hour round trip to drop someone off and drive 60km, this trip would end up costing only $18.15 instead of $27.75, $24.15 or $18.65, respectively, depending on whether you are enrolled in the Value, Value Plus or Value Extra plan.
Family Membership
Join as a family to maximize your savings!
All members of a household living at the same address have the option to register together on a single account, to enjoy great savings on their membership fees (offer available for Value plans members only).
Terms
The refundable membership bond for a household is $750. The monthly fee for each additional driver is $2.50/month, regardless of the plan chosen by the family.
For example, a family of three who chooses to subscribe to the Value Extra plan will have a total monthly invoice of $35 ($30 + $2.50 + $2.50) instead of $90 ($30 x 3), saving more than 60% of the regular monthly cost.
Family members under 19 years old are eligible to join.
People under the age of 19 who wish to join Communauto will be able to do so by joining as a co-member if living at the same address as their parent/guardian at the time of registration.
Workday Rate
Use a vehicle for the flat rate of $19.20 per day, with 40km included! This great bargain is exclusive to Value Extra plan members.
Terms
- $19.20 per day flat fee.
- 40km 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.
Damage Protection Plan
| Damage Fee (per event)* | Cost per driver |
|---|---|
| $0 | $8 per month |
| $300 | $6 per month |
| $600 | $1 per trip |
*Liable or not.
All monthly Damage Protection Plan options, except for the default ($600 Damage Fee for $1 per trip), are a minimum 12 month commitment. You can reduce these costs by taking advantage of the protection offered by the credit card you use to pay your invoices if it includes collision loss damage insurance (cost per driver falls then to $2 per month, and there is no yearly commitment). Requires a signed Damage Protection Plan Waiver.
