GoGet CarShare
Living in Sydney’s inner-west, I often see zippy little cars with the GoGet logo on them. I finally got around to looking into what it is – and it’s quite a clever concept!
GoGet CarShare is a professional car sharing service. There are cars located in varying places (Sydney’s inner-city seems to be the busiest place) and it’s a basic process of booking a car in a particular location (can be done from 5 minutes ahead to a year in advance), swiping your card to get access to the car and voila!
There are 3 different pricing levels, but you basically pay:
- A monthly membership fee
- An hourly rate for your car booking
- A per km rate
- A $500 security deposit.
You don’t pay for petrol! Or servicing!
If I didn’t have to drive to work I would be seriously considering joining GoGet. Comparing how much I pay for insurance, petrol and rego, this would be a far more economical option for inner-city living.
There’s another car sharing company operating in Sydney and Melbourne called CharterDrive.com.au.
Charter Drive primarily services the CBDs of Sydney and Melbourne and in addition to attractive per hour charges (from $3.30/hr) we also offer attractive overnight and weekend rates (17:30 to 8:30 the next WORKING morning). Overnight rates start at $13/night and weekend starts at $66/weekend. The great thing about these rates is you can take a car after work and you’re not “on the clock”.
