About Communauto
Communauto is a car-sharing service founded in Quebec City in 1994, now widely used in Montreal. Members can book a car by the hour from a set station, or grab one of the free-floating FLEX cars parked on the street and leave it in the service area when done.
It suits city dwellers who live without a car but still need one for a grocery run, an IKEA trip or a weekend in the country. Many Montrealers combine it with the metro, buses and BIXI. It is a Quebec-born idea that helps people share fewer cars.
