Friday, June 17, 2011 225 car2go Vehicles Roll Into Vancouver
 car2go announced today that a fleet of 225 smart "car2go edition" vehicles will be ready for "on-demand" rentals beginning tomorrow in Vancouver.
On April 27th, car2go Canada Ltd CEO Nicholas Cole and Mayor Gregor Robertson announced Vancouver, British Columbia as the first Canadian city selected to launch the innovative carsharing service, where cars have no reservations time limits, and members are allowed to make one-way trips instead of returning cars to their pickup location. Since the announcement, approximately 2,000 Vancouverites have registered and received their membership cards. Members will be able to drive the vehicles starting Saturday June 18th.
Following the overwhelmingly positive response, car2go has extended the free registration period (which represents a $35 value) until July 3rd. Vancouver residents can register at www.car2govancouver.com, or in person at the car2go office at 45 Water Street in Gastown.
To further celebrate the launch, car2go is also extending an open invitation to special events held at four neighbourhood coffee houses in Vancouver on Saturday June 18th. Between 10am and 5pm, residents can register in person, receive their membership card on-site, take a car2go for a short drive and enjoy a free coffee at the following four local iconic coffee houses:
Waves Coffee, 2588 Main Street,
Kits Coffee Co, 2198 West 4th Avenue
Delany's Coffee House, 1105 Denman St
Bean Around the World in Yaletown, 1002 Mainland St.
