Car Sharing
Why buy a car when you can share one?
As a car share member you have access to clean, new cars whenever you need them. You pay no registration, petrol or maintenance - just a simple fee based on your use. Cars are available 24/7 for use for an hour or longer if you need it. Car share cars live at priority on and off street parking bays around Melbourne's CBD, Richmond, Northcote, Brunswick, St Kilda and lots of places in between.
When you join a car share program, you receive an access key or card. Book the car on-line or on the phone before you need to use it. If you drive less than 15,000km a year, you'll save money by car sharing.
In Melbourne there are two active Car Sharing organisations - Go Get and Flexicar. Depending on your needs you can hire a small car such as the Honda Jazz so you can zip around the city or a Subaru Forester if you need something bigger such as taking friends out on a day trip or that holiday with the family.
Car Sharing can save you money over owning a car and saves you the hassle of insurance, petrol and maintenance of your vehicle. Even if you drive 1-2 times per week using a car sharing scheme you will still save. According to flexicar this could amount to $600 in savings each month!
