The Simplest Way To Use Car2Go In Vancouver BC
This short piece will help you register and start using Vancouver’s Car2Go car-sharing programme and hopefully explain all the questions you have about this new exciting opportunity in our city.
What's Car2Go?
This project came from southern Germany, where it was introduced in March 2009 in the town of Ulm. The success of the German project also electrified Austin, Texas, which introduced Car2Go just a couple of months later on.
The Car2Go system is composed of a fleet of Smart Fortwo automobiles parked all over the city. After registration, you can either walk straight up to the car or reserve it to one day in advance. Once you are in the automobile, you need to use it so long as you need and return it at any sanctioned Car2Go parking space. Per-minute rates include everything — even parking!
Becoming a Member
The very first thing you've got to do is complete the registration. You can do this on the Car2Go web page. Registration is easy and fast. There's a one-time sign-up charge of $35 that may only be charged when your membership is authorised by Car2go, and for drivers to be accepted for ICBC’s special car sharing insurance, an annual charge of $2 will be charged. You are also going to need to enter your valid driver’s license number and valid Visa or Credit card number. You may also get asked to call ICBC Driver Licensing (1.800.950.1498) to ask that your drivers abstract be despatched to Car2Go secure email at records[at]car2go.com. After you are approved, you can receive a member’s card in the post. It sometimes takes about five days.
There is also a chance to register in person; you only need to go to the Car2Go Vancouver shop. Be sure to bring your valid driver’s license and a kosher Visa or Mastercard with you.
Not sure who can register? A member-to-be needs to have 3 or even more years of driving experience. (This implies that the learners permit is out of the query, although N drivers are permitted.) You must likewise have a drivers abstract in good standing with no alcohol or drug prohibitions.
