where can i get a car 2go

Car2go is no longer in operation. The service officially ceased all operations in North America and most other regions back in February 2020. It merged with DriveNow to form SHARE NOW, which also subsequently withdrew from the North American market. If you're looking for a similar short-term, app-based car rental service, your best alternatives today are companies like Zipcar, Turo, or traditional rental agencies that offer hourly rates.

The concept Car2go pioneered, known as free-floating car-sharing, allows you to pick up and drop off vehicles anywhere within a designated "home area." While Car2go itself is gone, other services have filled the void. Your choice will depend on your specific needs: Zipcar offers a mix of reserved parking spots and some free-floating options in certain cities, while Turo is more like an "Airbnb for cars," connecting you with private car owners.

Here’s a quick comparison of popular alternatives:

Service	Primary Model	Typical Cost (Hourly)	Typical Cost (Daily)	Key Feature
Zipcar	Round-trip & Free-floating	$10 - $15	$70 - $100	Gas & insurance included
Turo	Peer-to-peer rental	Varies by owner	$30 - $100+	Wide variety of car models
Getaround	Peer-to-peer, free-floating	$8 - $12	$50 - $90	Instant keyless access via app
Hertz 24/7	Round-trip from stations	$12 - $18	$75 - $110	Integrates with traditional rental

For purely one-way trips, services like Uber or Lyft are often more convenient than dealing with a rental. If you need a car for a longer period, a standard rental from Enterprise, Hertz, or Avis might offer better daily rates. The key is to download a few apps and check their coverage maps for your city to see which service has the most vehicles near you.

Yeah, Car2go folded a few years back. It's a real bummer because it was super handy. These days, I use Zipcar when I need to run to the hardware store or something for a couple of hours. It's pretty similar—you just book it on your phone, unlock the car, and go. Gas is included, which is a plus. Your city might also have Getaround, which is another good one to check out.

As a former frequent user, I was disappointed when Car2go shut down. The market has adapted, though. I now primarily use Turo because it offers more unique vehicle choices, from fuel-efficient hybrids to convertibles for a weekend trip. It feels more personal than a big rental company. The insurance options are clear during the booking process, which gives me peace of mind. It's not exactly the same "free-floating" model, but it's often more flexible.

Living downtown, I need flexible transportation without owning a car. Since Car2go's departure, I've found that a combination of services works best. For quick, two-hour errands, Getaround is my top choice due to its proximity. For a full day trip out of the city, I compare prices on Turo and traditional rentals like Enterprise. Always check the insurance details and mileage policies before you book, as they can vary significantly between platforms.
