Car-sharing and bike-sharing

Last updated February 23, 2026

Where can I borrow a bike or a car? Where can I park my self-service car? Discover the many services available in Montréal and learn how to plan your trips.

Bicycle stations

Borrow one of 10,000 classic or electric bikes at one of our BIXI stations.

Car stations

Reserve a Communauto car online and pick it up at one of the hundreds of stations located throughout the city. Then, return the car at the same location. See this map to find a station near your home or workplace.

Self-service car parking

Two services are offered: Léo autopartage and Communauto. With or without reservation, pick up a self-service car from either service directly from the street, then drop it off in an authorized area, including some parking sticker zones, or in front of certain city parking meters (for which fees apply).
