A cool way to lower your environmental impact.

car2go is an intelligent response to the environmental concerns and traffic congestion challenges of a fast-growing urban area like Austin. The idea is quickly proving itself to be a groundbreaking mobility concept that redefines transportation in urban areas like ours. The car2go car sharing model, used alongside existing public transportation, specifically Capitial Metro bus, rail, and rideshare alternatives, serves to substantially reduce the emissions and congestion common in dense urban cores. Long term, the car2go concept will play an important role in keeping Austin livable, clean, accessible and exciting.

BLUE AND WHITE MAKES GREEN

The unique car2go vehicles themselves are the most fuel-efficient non hybrid or electric vehicles on the road today. Additionally, the car2go concept improves the area's overall vehicle utilization ratio. In other words, a privately-owned vehicle is generally used only 1-2 hours and sits idle for the majority of the day, sometimes occupying valuable parking space, while a shared car2go will provide, on average, over 4 hours of utilization. And the ultra-compact car2go cars have a dramatically lower impact on urban infrastructure.

Providing "on-demand" fuel efficient transportation options for individuals, car2go also compliments public transportation by closing the gaps commonly associated with public transit commuting, and it is a practical and affordable alternative to the rising costs and hassles associated with vehicle ownership.

Austin's environment is one of its most valuable assets and car2go members do their part to help protect it. Being green was never so easy or fun.
