eGo CarShare is a local nonprofit that has been serving the Boulder community since 2001 and has over 50 cars in Boulder, Denver, and Longmont. eGo allows you to have access to a car whenever you need one, without all the hassles of car ownership – every reservation includes gas, insurance and maintenance! You can book and access a car 24/7 online or by phone.

Jaz and Mani, longtime members of eGo carshare, use the cars for errands, camping, and whatever else they may need to use a vehicle for. They know they “can rely on eGo CarShare to have a great car available when we need one. We like that the vehicles are new and properly maintained and clean.”

Dan, another eGo CarShare member, loves the eGo pickup trucks, like the AboutBoulder truck at McGuckins. “The rental pickups are a dream! 2 rentals saved me hundreds of dollars. One memorable rental showed the flexibility of the program on the larger-use side. In one whirlwind day, we got 2 loads of mulch from the Boulder mulch pile, took a full load of trash to Western Disposal, some of it ungainly stuff that would never fit in a car. I’m ready to say eGo Carshare has saved me from even considering purchase of a pickup. Why? It’s right there when I need it, and cost-effective to boot.”

Want to get out and enjoy the snow? eGo CarShare has all-wheel drives with ski racks and snow tires. Trying to live an eco-friendly lifestyle? Drive the all-electric Leaf or the hybrid electric Volt. Have to go somewhere with a big group? Check out the 7-seater minivan. eGo has a vehicle type for everyone!

It’s fast and easy to join! You just need two years of driving history as well as a current license (international and other state licenses accepted) and a relatively clean record. Rates start at an affordable $4.50/hr, 0.33/mile or an even cheaper rate of $4/hr, 0.33/mile for businesses and nonprofits. $5 gets you a key so take advantage of this limited time offer and get driving today!
