To become a Member/Driver, you must:

• Be at least 18 years old;
• Currently hold a Manitoba 5F class licence or an equivalent;
• No speeding convictions 30km above the speed limit within the last 3 years;
• Maximum 4 minor driving infractions within last 3 years;
• No more than one (1) at-fault collision in the previous 3 years; and
• Have no criminal driving charges.

All applicants must produce a three-year driving history to prove they meet our criteria. If you have a licence from Manitoba, we’ll process a driving history request on your behalf. Drivers with a licence from outside of Manitoba who are unable to produce a three-year driving history may choose to complete our Member Eligibility Declaration waiver instead.

Carsharing is a membership-based service that provides flexible transportation solutions for individuals, families, and companies. Members receive an access key and and online account that allows them to book a vehicle where they want it, when they want it.

We offer two ways to carshare with round-trip FIX vehicles and free-floating FLO vehicles. FIX vehicles have a designated parking spot, and you pick up and drop off the cars at the same spot, every time. FLO vehicles have no fixed location and can be found parked throughout the FLO Zone service area or at a FLO Drop-Off Point. Learn more here.

Sometimes! We offer two ways to carshare with round-trip FIX vehicles, and free-floating FLO vehicles.

FIX vehicles have a designated parking spot, and you pick up and drop off the cars at the same spot, every time.

FLO vehicles have no fixed location and can be found parked throughout the FLO Zone service area or at a FLO Drop-Off Point.

You primarily get around by walking, biking, or transit but would sometimes like the convenience of access to a car. Or maybe you want access to a second car without the added cost. Perhaps you don’t own or are thinking of selling your car. Carsharing also works well for those living centrally who are paying a lot for parking or whose building doesn’t provide parking.

Think of it as a library book that you borrow and then return. Round-trip FIX vehicles are always found in the same designated parking spots. Our free-floating FLO vehicles have no home location and can be located and reserved using our mobile app. Members make and manage all their own bookings. They head over to the area where they reserved a car and drive it as if it were their own. FIX vehicles need to be returned to their designated parking spots before the booking time expires, whereas a booking with one of our FLO vehicles ends when it is brought back into the FLO Zone or FLO Drop-Off Point and released by the driver.

A lot! A membership with Peg City includes almost everything: fuel, insurance, maintenance and winter tires for those long Winnipeg winters. A Peg City member spends about $600 to $1,200 on carsharing a year. Based on CAA calculations, owning a car can cost $8,000 a year on average.

Vehicle access – Choose between cars, trucks, vans, hybrids and electrics.
Gas – We cover the cost of gas, and if you pay at the pump at any Canadian gas station, you can pay with our Shell fuel card.
Insurance – We cover the cost of insurance. Choose from our basic insurance, CLDI, or our in-house Damage Pool coverage. Learn more.
Cleaning – We clean all of our cars regularly. Get a car real dirty while using it? No problem! Wash the car, email a photo or scan of your receipt, and we will reimburse your account in the form of driving credit.

According to the Canadian Automobile Association’s Annual Driving Costs Report, the average cost of owning and operating a vehicle in Canada is $8,000 yearly. To be a Peg City Car Co-op Member only costs the refundable share price of $500, and you only pay for the service when you use it. On average, our members spend about $1,200 a year on carsharing. All usage rates cover gas, insurance, parking and maintenance. We worry about winter tires and inevitable repairs or replacements.

In general, the environmental benefits of carsharing for the individual and society include less traffic congestion and reduced need for parking. Carsharing encourages members to choose when they drive more carefully, which means fewer vehicles on the road and fewer vehicle km travelled. This leads to fewer Greenhouse Gas emissions and air pollutants. Peg City members use transit, walk, and cycle more than the average Winnipegger.
