car 2 go
I don't work for this company or have anything to do with them but while I was out and about today I saw a lot of little car2go cars. They are little electric cars you can drive around in what looks like a limited area but here in San Diego, it would make sense because one really needs a car.
Do you have them in your city? Have you used them? The good? the bad? the ugly? |
Well I don't have much idea about this but one thing I would suggest you to try is Fish Taco of San Diego. That's really awesome.

I love fish tacos, I live in San Diego and know that it's difficult to get around to some areas without a car. Usually I suggest that ppl rent a car while visiting but wondering if this is a viable alternative.
They are really expensive on a daily basis but maybe the hourly pays off when we consider parking etc. Just curious. I have a car and won't be using this method but it may be good for a visitor. |
It took me thirty seconds to find out this info on this company:
1) In North American, they are available in Calgary, Toronto, Vancouver, Austin, Miami, Portland, San Diego, and Washington DC. 2) Cost to apply for this company is $35. 3) Cost is $14 per HOUR, plus tax, plus a mileage fee if you drive over 150 miles in a day. 4) You pay for gas unless you can find a station that takes the Wright Express Card. Let's compare this to the cost of a one-day pass on mass transit: San Diego, $5, and a four-day pass is $15. Portland, five one-day passes cost $25. Miami, $5, and a seven-day pass is $26. Vancouver, $9(C) Toronto, $10.50(C) Washington DC $14. Austin, between $1 and $5.50, depending on how much of the system you want to ride. A 31-day, all-inclusive pass costs less than getting two hours with Car2Go. Seems to be you'd be better off riding mass transit in all of these cities. |
The problem with mass transit in San Diego is that it's horrible.
Thinking that a pass for $5 will get you back to the hotel from La Jolla if you don't check the bus schedules will cost you 20-30 for a taxi. We thought of taking mass transit to the airport. The problem is the bus doesn't run at convenient times to do this and it can take an hour and a half for a 15 minute drive. |
