Did anyone else know that owning a Smart entitles you to a free Car2Go membership? I just found that out yesterday.

Yes.

You provide your vin# and they credit you back the registration fee once you have completed the account set up.

car sharing service that uses smarts (and is run by Daimler)

Announced previously by the Daimler subsidiary, smart will no longer be the only car2go offering in N.A. . . .

"Proud to share": car2go makes a clear statement for carsharing - Daimler Global Media Site

Nope. I did not. Thank you!

Maybe I can use one for events as mine is being totaled!

Better sign up before my VIN is blacklisted....

 

[jzchen]

Hmm. Will be visiting the Amsterdam, Netherlands for a little bit, wonder if signing up here will work over there?....

Sorry to hear it's being totaled. I didn't think it looked THAT bad. What year is it?

'13. I didn't think it looked very bad either, but the third shop it went to is a Mercedes authorized repair facility, and quoted $8k, while KBB says it's worth $4k trade in.

Thank you for the concern.

Car2Go is so expensive! It's only cheap in comparison to car ownership if you use it very infrequently and for short periods of time.

I'm about to experience a rate hike due to the accident...

With that I did note that the pricing includes insurance, with $250 deductible? (Can't remember the deductible amount). Kind of like that feature.

When I researched joining before I saw the pricing and thought it was very expensive... Anyways, the locations with Car2Go seem very far away.

Wouldn't hurt if joining and maintaining membership is free though.

I had gone through quite the runaround with Car2Go. The service is not free. Subscribing is waived and membership is free. Using the cars costs the same as it does for everyone else... So they told me. If someone finds otherwise, tell me how!

And Mercedes GLA or CLA models. I have not seen a CLA but have seen the GLA.

I don't think anyone said the service was free if you own a smart. Just the membership.

I don't think it is expensive at all. Rental cars are not cheap and mostly are cars I don't like. My last car2go was $59 for the day.

21,500 for a year if you use one every day, all day, so compared to ownership it's crazy expensive!

But if you were driving all day, every day, think of all the money you'd save on groceries. You might even get rid of your house, mortgage, and cable bill.

Unfortunately they have a 150 mile limit, with some pretty high fee per mile over, I think like $0.45/mi IIRC.
