Car2Go is a car sharing program located in Calgary, Toronto and Vancouver. It’s a free floating concept, in that there are no specifics in terms of return times and locations. For a rate as low as 35 cents per minute (rate may vary by location) which includes refueling, cleaning, roadside assistance, GPS navigation, insurance, and parking you gain access to one of several hundred cars in the car2go network.

Cars can be accessed on demand, or reserved for up to 24 hours in advance (book by Internet or phone). For on demand access it’s as simple as swiping your membership card against the vehicles windshield. To keep hold of your car simply select stop over and it will block anyone else from accessing the car. You can keep the car for short, intermediate or long trips. When you’re done, simply park the car in an above ground Green P parking lot or designated car2go parking location.
