How do I start my trip with a vehicle I spotted on the street, or one I blocked allowing time to get there?

admin

To begin a trip, you must:

  1. In the Communauto mobile app, click on “Start trip” in your current reservation. If you aren’t using the app, place your key fob, or a compatible RFID card that you have previously registered in your customer profile – see Regional Specifics ), on the reader located on the driver’s side of the windshield.
  2. You can then retrieve the car key from the key/card holder in the glove box (do not forget to put it back at the end of your trip).
  3. You are ready to go!

In Quebec, members frequently use their transit cards to access vehicles, instead of the mobile app, or the key fobs provided by Communauto in some (not all) branches. The OPUS card in the Quebec and Montreal regions, the STO Multi card in Gatineau and the STS La vermeilleuse card in Sherbrooke can be linked to your account.

Only one transit card can be linked to your account. Once entered, it can be used to access vehicles in all cities in Quebec and Ontario, except Toronto. See “How do I use Communauto in other provinces and countries?“
