Car Co-op Membership

What does it cost to join?

Because we're a not-for-profit co-operative and our members are owners, we seek to offer the best possible value for car sharing.  To become a member of The Car Co-op, an individual makes a one-time, refundable $500 share purchase and pays a $20 registration fee.  The second person in the household can join as an associate member for a $250 share purchase.

How much does it cost to use a car?

The Car Co-op's Member Plan charges (per booking):

• $3.00 per hour (to a maximum of $36 daily), with no hourly charge between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m.
• 40¢ per kilometre for the first 35km,
  25¢ for each additional kilometre up to 150km,
  15¢ per kilometre thereafter
• $2 administration fee for each of the first three bookings of the month; the most you'll pay in admin fees in one month is $6

And if you don't use a Co-op car in a month, you pay nothing!  Our Zero-on-Zero price point gives you the flexibility you need without a concern about cost.
