![]() Keep in mind, though, It’s quite a lot of work: we have to solve more than just the US-Canada problem, we also have to solve Germany-UK, Canada-France, Austria-US, etc. car2go is a global company, and we want car2go to be globally seamless. Is this something you could offer?Īgain, this is another thing we want to offer, and we’re working with our legal team to make it happen. ![]() I’d like to be able to drive in Vancouver or London with my Seattle membership. We are talking to our insurance company now, and we hope to offer something by the end of the year.Īnother is for the ability to drive in other countries, e.g. For example, ZipCar allows users to do this on a monthly or per-trip basis. One common request is for the option to buy down the insurance deductible $1,000 is more liability than many people would like to carry. Essentially, we crowdsource refueling: for example, there are apps which show users cars that are eligible for the refueling bonus this is much cheaper for us than paying someone to go out and refill cars. The current bonus seems to provide an adequate incentive to keep the cars fueled, so there are no plans to change it. Unlike competitors, car2go only requests (not requires) that drivers refill the car below a certain fuel level, so most users will be able to avoid it if they wish. ![]() Nick: Refueling is a necessary evil, of course. They did, however, point out a video from South By Southwest showing car2go usage in Austin one weekend, which while not official, is apparently accurate.īruce: Everyone seems to agree the car2go refueling process is terrible for users. I did ask if car2go could share heat maps, or some other graphic of Seattle’s demand, but they declined. I talked on the phone to Car2Go CEO Nick Cole a couple of weeks ago, to follow up on our last interview, and relay some of your questions apologies for the delay in getting this published. ![]()
