How are the costs of my trips calculated?

admin

The cost of a trip depends on:

  • the duration and distance traveled
  • whether you are using a Round-trip or FLEX vehicle
  • the vehicle category (an additional cost applies for family and utility vehicles)
  • your membership plan 

Check out the Rates page of your location to find out the details of our rates.

Several membership plans give you access to multiple pricing options, with the lowest rate automatically applying to your trip.

If you use a Round-trip vehicle:

For example, if you are a Value Plan member and you reserve a Round-trip vehicle, in addition to the basic rates of your plan you will have access to:

  • Long Distance rates
  • Rates offered to Open Plus members (“Liberté” in Paris) which are more advantageous for a quick round trip (trips where you drive many kilometers in a short time).

Members registered on the Value Extra plan can benefit from having their trip billed at the Workday rate.

Among all these possibilities, you will always be automatically charged the lowest price available for your trip.

The minimum duration of reservations is 30 minutes, and you are billed in increments of 15 minutes.

If you use a FLEX vehicle: 

There is no minimum duration when you drive in a FLEX vehicle. That’s why FLEX trips may be billed by the minute. However, you can also keep a FLEX vehicle for longer trips while enjoying rates as advantageous as if you were using a Round-trip vehicle.

In fact, any trip made with a FLEX vehicle will be automatically billed at the lowest price of either the regular FLEX rates or the trip calculated at the Round-trip prices of your plan. This comparison is made regardless of the duration of the trip. However, a minimum of 4 hours is billable even for shorter trips if the cost finally applied is based on your plan’s Round-trip rates.

For trips of 4 hours or more, the rates are typically the same whether you drive in FLEX or a Round-trip vehicle. Two exceptions are: the Workday rate, which does not apply to FLEX vehicles, and trips for Open plan members, which can sometimes be cheaper in a FLEX.
