I Go Car Sharing

News Room | Jul 25th, 2008 |

I GO is a non-profit arm of the Center for Neighborhood technology. (cnt.org) This car sharing service is an excellent resource for the Chicagoan that is looking to use a car once in a while. With rates starting at $6 an hour, which includes gas, insurance and the car, this is an excellent alternative to owning a car. GreenWerks has a few employees who are members and personally vouch for this great service.

Car sharing is a service that provides members with access to a fleet of eco-friendly vehicles on an hourly basis. Once you become a member (within 3-5 business days), you can reserve any car you like in advance and drive it for as long as your reservation. It is not like car pool because it is “yours” for that amount of time. It is not like car rental because you PAY BY THE HOUR. Therefore, the best and most cost-effective trips are those that are short in time and distance.

With the price of gas, city stickers, permit stickers, license plates, state stickers, city tickets, insurance and car maintenance- I GO Cars is an great alternative! Check them out online at igocars.org
