Go to Cars: Car Captain for #104 - Prius, #107 Honda Insight and #109 Saturn sedan

I joined immediately after returning from a 3-month sojourn in India. I sold my car at approximately the same time. I primarily use eGo CarShare for errands, and commuting when my work takes me out of the City of Boulder. The benefits of CarShare are many fold. I have booked cars in a pinch in bad weather, late at night and when I had heaps of groceries. It also saves me approximately $7,000 a year in not having a car (figure is from John Robbin's book, The New Good Life). In not always driving a car I find I am more interactive with my community, but when I need a car I have one for a nominal fee. I would recommend eGo CarShare to a friend in a heartbeat. The things I like most about eGo CarShare are the employees and members because they are passionate and inspired in fulfilling their mission. I also love how walking, biking riding the bus and sometimes driving make Boulder feel accessible and alive. Sometimes I forget that I am in the Rockies and pretend I am wandering around a European city. I wish everyone used carshare, biked, walked and rode the bus. Living here carless; commuitng via bike, bus, eGo CarShare and foot makes Boulder feel like a European town in the Rockies.

"While in Denver, we used eGo CarShare 3 times - even once at the last minute. We found the locations easily each time. This was so much easier than renting a car, paying for parking at the hotel and letting the car sit unused for days! We look forward to using eGo the next time we are in Denver."

Go to Car: V#106 Kia Rio

After moving to Boulder in 2005, we discovered we didn't need cars on a daily basis and we stumbled on the idea of carsharing. We looked into the program and it sounded perfect for our lifestyle. We use carshare primarily for errands and business appointments. Using carshare is a great way to cut down on transportation costs and save money, plus there are no hassles of owning a vehicle. The reservation system is quick and easy to use and the cars are well maintained.

Go To Cars: #105 - Ford F-250 & #117 - Honda Fit

As owners of an organic vegetable garden business, we need a truck and eGo CarShare's program fits both our personal and business political and environmental values. The idea of owning our own truck just didn't make sense to us financially. We use the truck a couple of times a week to haul our materials then bike to our jobs where everything is waiting for us. Catherine really loves not having to worry about maintaining a car, fueling it up, or cleaning it. Being a member of eGo CarShare simplifies your life and gives you one less thing to worry about

"I just had my first opportunity to use an eGo Car. The experience was fantastic. With 4 hours notice, I decided to attend a workshop 75 miles from my office. There was no time to ride the bus home and pick up my car. eGo made it very easy for me to reserve and pick up a car within 2 blocks of my office. The car was a brand new Prius which was fun to drive. I appreciated that the eGo staff went out of their way to make sure I had clear instructions and all the information I needed, then were available by phone for support. I may not rent an eGo car every week, but it's nice to have the option when I do need it."

Go to Car: #105 - Ford F-250

When I need to transport wood and other building materials I just go online and make a quick reservation. The freedom to use the CarShare truck on an as-needed basis is fantastic!

Go to Car: #106 - Kia Rio

We have always been intrigued with the concept of car sharing and have had a copy of the eGo CarShare brochure in our files for a long time. When our car needed repairs that would have cost more than the car was worth, we decided to let it go and donate it to Colorado Public Radio. A few months later we decided to give eGo CarShare a try to help us organize and run our errands. We've been hooked ever since. Recently we've started a new food business - Arts 'n Jest Edibles, LLC - and use the car each morning delivering our baked goods to local coffee shops.

Being a member of eGo CarShare is very convenient for us. It's extremely cost effective considering generally how much money is invested in owning a car that sits parked somewhere for most of the time. (And its not getting any cheaper). We like eGo CarShare for the sense of community and shared responsibility it fosters. The cars are clean and in great shape - better than we've ever owned ourselves. Along with walking, biking and the bus system being a member of eGo CarShare is definately a key part of our transportation mix. We're not saying we'll never own a car again, but when we do, we know that we'll be more conscious about it thanks to our being a member of eGo CarShare
