A couple weeks back we introduced you to car2go (see posts 1 and 2), the new car-sharing service that's had success in Austin and in Europe and is launching in Vancouver in June. Leading up to the launch we're going to highlight three small things about car2go that we think are especially awesome.
Small Thing #1 is: the size!
Obviously the car2go whip pictured in the toddler's hand above is not actual size, but if you've ever driven one (or parked one, for that matter) then you can appreciate how good they are on gas and how easy they are to park. We'll get to more about gas and parking in Small Thing #2 but for now, think size. Tiny size. A total of 225 of these little “car2go edition” smart vehicles (the world’s first automobiles designed especially for car sharing) will be dotted around the city, one for every 5 blocks.
Up until May 27th car2go is waiving the registration fee so you can sign up for FREE! Also, your $2 annual fee will be donated to Canuck Place Children's Hospice. Win/win. Go NOW and use the promo code VAN.
