Car2Go used to operate in my US city, but they pulled out a couple years ago under the guise of "an onerous new tax burden" (despite no new taxes being passed). I think the real issue was they were just plain expensive -- barely cheaper than an Uber, and way less comfortable.
Other rent-by-time companies like ZipCar are similarly expensive. I'm not convinced that business model works, at least the ways I've seen it implemented.
- mattlutze 7y agoCar2Go works here that you don't have to leave or pick them up from designated spots -- they have an agreement with each city to allow general parking, even in neighborhood zones. Not sure if it was the same in your city, I'm used to ZipCars having special spots which is a little less convenient. It's a good alternative to public transport when you need to cross a city and transfers would be annoying.
