Modo for business

How do I set up a business account?

To register a Business account:

Download and complete our business account agreement. (link to PDF under Member Resources)
Email the completed form to business@modo.coop, or fax it to 604-685-1353.Our Business account co-ordinators will process your application and, once approved, they will contact you to activate your account. Once your business account is activated, you can invite your staff to drive on your account. Note that you'll have to register drivers separately.
To register a business driver, please review “How do I add a driver on my business account?”

What are the initial costs to set up my business account?

To open a Business account, we require a $250 security deposit. Those wanting to become a shareholding member of the co-op are required to purchase $500 of shares (redeemable). Both options allow for an unlimited number of drivers on your Business account.

Purchasing shares grants your organization membership to the co-op. This means a designated delegate will receive one vote on behalf of your organization at Modo’s Annual General Meeting.

Who can drive on my business account?

You can sign up an unlimited number of drivers to your business account.

Drivers need to be at least 19 years old with a valid driver’s licence.

Drivers also need to provide evidence that they meet Modo’s driving standard:

N licence or better
No at fault accidents within the past two years
No licence suspensions within the past two years
No more than two traffic violations in the past two years.

Drivers may be eligible to join with an out-of-province/out-of-country licence as long as they can provide evidence that they meet our driving requirements above.

How does a driver on a business account demonstrate eligibility?

If you have had a BC driver’s licence for at least 2 years or have an N licence:

Use ICBC’s online request page to request they email your driving record (driver’s abstract) and insurance and claims history record for the past two years directly to info@modo.coop

If you have a BC driver’s licence, and have also had another licence within the past 2 years, you may still be able to join Modo by completing the steps below:

Use ICBC’s online request page to request they email your driving record (driver’s abstract) and insurance and claims history record for the past two years directly to info@modo.coop. To cover the out of province portion of your two year history you can provide a driving record from the country/state/province which issued your previous licence. If your driving records are not in English we require a translation of the records from an ICBC-approved translator.
If you are not able to provide your out-of-province driving records, make arrangements with Modo to complete a Driver Eligibility Declaration.

If you only have a driver’s licence from outside of BC, you may still be able to join Modo by completing one of the steps below:

Provide a driving record from the country/state/province which issued your previous licence. If your driving records are not in English we require a translation of the records from an ICBC approved translator. If you are not able to provide your out of province driving records, make arrangements with Modo to complete a Driver Eligibility Declaration.

The registration code is valid for 14 days from the date it is sent. If you need to send a new code, repeat step three above. Once this is done, an email will go to your driver with full instructions with a link to the online booking page and a confirmation of your request will show on the Drivers tab of your account.If you have a fob to assign them, send us the number on the back of the fob, and the colour of the sticker on the front of the fob, so we can assign it to the driver.
