If you’ve been anywhere near downtown Columbus or the surrounding neighborhoods, you’ve probably noticed the little compact car2go vehicles. Many people find car2go to be really useful – from people who don’t own a car, families who don’t own a second car, to people who typically use public transport or biking, but occasionally need car access, as well as visitors to Columbus who don’t want to rent a car for the whole trip. car2go is everywhere: from Clintonville to Merion Village, from Franklinton to Olde Towne East with 300 vehicles, which are always ready to go. Perfect for city life, car2go allows members to find a vehicle on the street or with the car2go app, drive wherever they need to go, and end the trip at any legal parking space within the Columbus Home Area.
Car2go is offering members a special promotional rate for all car2go Columbus trips through December 6. For a limited time, car2go trips in Columbus will cost only $0.29 per minute, which is a 30% off the standard trip rate, which also includes fuel, maintenance, parking and insurance. The discount is just in time to run errands and go shopping for the holiday season. No promotional code is necessary – members just hop in and drive, and will automatically receive the discounted trip rate for the duration of the promotion.
“The holiday timeframe can be expensive, and we want to help our members visit their friends and family without worrying about the cost of getting around,” said Chet Ridenour, General Manager, car2go Columbus. “Whether picking up items for Friendsgiving or traveling between family gatherings, car2go helps take the hassle out of getting where you need to go, when you need to go — and now, it’s more affordable than ever.”
For additional savings, new members in Columbus who register through December 6 for car2go with the promotional code “HOPIN” will receive a discounted $5 (regularly $35) registration fee and the first 60 minutes of drive time for free. There are no annual or yearly fees for car2go membership, members pay a consistent rate only for the time they drive.
