Savings & Benefits
According to the Canadian Automobile Association's 2009 "Driving Costs" brochure, Canadians spend a average of $10,700 a year on the ownership and operating costs of their vehicles. GO2 members can pay a fraction of that amount.
- The Cooperative Auto Network in Vancouver estimates its members spend $1,400 per year, for annual savings of approximately $8,400.
- Nelson Carshare Co-op members spend $750-$2,400 per year, depending on their rate of use, so they save anywhere from $7,400 to $9,050 per year.
The industry rule of thumb is that if you drive less than 13,000 kms a year, or need to use a car less than five days a week, car sharing may be right for you.
