Was it actually cheaper than Ubering? I always felt that the price was very similar and Ubering removed the need to be the driver. Only ever used Car2Go when I actually needed the car space.
- yellow_postit 7y agoIn my use case it was consistently 20% cheaper than the Uber/Lyft equivalent.
- bootlooped 7y agoI thought you got a lot for that 20% though: Don't have to walk to wherever car is parked Don't have to drive Don't have to park car Don't have to walk from parking spot to actual destination
- martinald 7y agoPlus no risk of getting speeding/parking tickets, and if you are in an accident no insurance hassle to worry about (I assume the car sharing services have some sort of excess if you get into an accident).
- giarc 7y agoRecently car2go added a $1/ride fee that was for insurance. If you reached 99 trips in a year, you didn't have to pay that fee (or similar).

- gammarator 7y agoFrom the airport it's a lot cheaper: on an evening return from the airport (no traffic) it would be $20 for a 30 minute car2go trip to N Seattle vs. $40+ for a (non-shared) Lyft.
- ska 7y agoIn my experience it was always noticeably cheaper.
- all_blue_chucks 7y agoThe Smart cars didn't have enough trunk space for a single checked bag, so it wasn't really useful to get to the airport IMO.
