Keeping things Simple.
Our Simple Plan is designed for people who really aren't going to drive
that much. They pay a simple hourly - or daily rate when they drive, and
get 150 km free with each trip. If they drive more than that on their
trip, they're charged 25¢/km. And, to help us cover administration
costs, we charge a $35 Annual Fee once a year, starting a full year after
they've joined.
Choose the plan that fits your lifestyle.
You can drive as much or as little as you like in any plan, and switch
between plans whenever you want to (starting the new plan on the 1st of
the next month). FYI The average "speed" our members drive is about 10
km/hr. That means that the distance charge usually adds about $2/hr
AutoShare is a Membership-based service.
To join AutoShare there is a one-time Membership Fee ($100 + GST). For
couples living together, we offer a discounted Joint Membership Fee of
$150 + GST total. If you choose to pay your invoice monthly (rather than after each trip), there is also a
$250 deposit per account. (Pay-as-you-drive is $0 deposit. See here for full details.)
30-day Money-back Guarantee
Our "30-day Trial Period" means that you can get a full refund
(Membership Fee + GST + Deposit) if you quit within 30 days of your
Application. (The Application Fee is non-refundable.) For more info,
please see our Join FAQ
We now have Minivans, Mini Coopers & other premium cars.
AutoShare provides a full range of vehicles to
members. In some cases, like our Minivans and Mini Coopers, this requires
a small premium to cover the extra costs of the vehicle purchase, operation,
insurance or parking (usually about $1 per hour).
Build an Insurance Record
Members are considered to have been continually covered by AutoShares
policy. We can provide you with a Letter of Insurance Coverage from our
insurance company certifying your coverage history with AutoShare - which
can save your $1,000's if you ever need to get personal auto insurance
in the future.
Save by booking online.
Internet reservations and changes are free. Using our 24-hour call centre
is $1.
Offset your Carbon Emissions.
AutoShare has partnered up with ZeroFootprint to provide all members the option of offsetting the emaissions resulted from their driving for about 1/2 ¢ per kilometer. To find out more about this program visit our ZeroFootprint page.
Gas @ $0.95 / litre
AutoShare's rates are based on an average fuel cost of $0.95 / litre (which
was typical in 2007, the last time our prices were adjusted, and now seem
typical again). To avoid constantly changing our rates simply due to fluctuations
in the price of fuel, we add a small credit or surcharge to each kilometre
travelled based on the average price paid by members for gas in that month
(and our fleet's average consumption of 10 litres/100km). eg gas prices
in November 2008 averaged about $0.85/litre - $0.10 below the baseline
of $0.95 - and there was a $0.01/km credit for driving that month.
PST + GST apply All of our rates are subject to GST &
PST, except the Monthly Plan & Annual fees (GST-only).
