Service I’m loving —

car2go

If you live in a city and don’t own a car, car2go is a great car-sharing service. You get access to hundreds of vehicles across the city and you don’t pay for gas. car2go is available in quite a few cities across North America, Europe, and now even in China. I use it often for day trips around the city or to get to places that I can’t take public transit to.
