Car-sharing for Organizations
20 May 2026
The shift to electric vehicles is no longer limited to individual vehicle purchases. It is now part of a vision of shared mobility that transforms vehicle use into a flexible and inclusive service. This is exactly what Avigo offers, as it seeks to transform urban car-sharing and accelerate the electrification of transportation in Canada.
An integrated mobility solution for organizations
For an organization - whether a real estate developer, a residential complex with apartments or condos, a retirement home, or a private company - implementing a fleet of shared electric vehicles offers a strategic alternative to individual ownership. The approach is based on a “closed-loop” car-sharing service, reserved exclusively for employees or residents of a specific site. The cars are available directly on the property or organization’s premises according to a specific ratio of cars to the number of residential units or the number of people to be served.
How It Works and Pricing: Simplicity at the Heart of the Experience
For property managers, this model allows them to optimize available space and reduce required parking ratios, without the operational burden, since Avigo handles everything: installation, vehicles and their maintenance, insurance, management of the reservation platform, and user support.
For residents, this gives them all the freedom of mobility that a car provides, without the costs or constraints associated with vehicle ownership. In fact, Ratehub estimated last April that the total cost of car ownership in 2026 will amount to approximately $1,373 per month or $16,476 per year, based on the average purchase price of a vehicle in Canada. Car-sharing can therefore offer significant savings for users while also avoiding the hassle of managing parking in major cities. 100% electric vehicles can be easily reserved via Avigo’s mobile app for a few hours or a full day.
Some developers include free monthly blocks of hours for their residents, while others operate on a pay-per-use basis. The developer or organization decides the hourly or daily rate, with rate recommendations provided by Avigo to ensure the service remains affordable.
Avigo also offers its services to car dealerships, which can provide electric courtesy vehicles through a car-sharing program to customers whose vehicles are in for repairs.
Toward a Successful Transition
Avigo has already deployed more than 70 car-sharing vehicles across 32 locations in Montreal, Quebec City, Gatineau, Ottawa, Toronto, and Vancouver. An additional 200 vehicles could be deployed over the next 18 months.
In closing, as Avigo puts it, “In the future, not owning a personal car will no longer be a constraint—it will be an advantage. We are changing the way people access cars. With Avigo, we are moving from a model of ownership to a model of usage integrated directly where people live and work.”
