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.
