eGo CarShare

I have used a couple of times. I was a member for more than 3 month. Honestly, they rip you off with everything. I wish there was another option in boulder. I paid a lot money for nothing (not taklin about the drive calculations). It happened to two of my friends too. two of them and then me. I would say they just charge you for nothing. Shawn was nice but the whole policy is ripping of people

Love car sharing services and never had a problem with ZipCar but these guys wanted information on minor accidents that happened 8 and 9 years ago, even though their form only asks for 3 years. Arbitrary and capricious.

Great nonprofit car share program, affordable. Cars are easily accessible from nearly anywhere in the Denver area. Customer service is amazing. Great for someone who needs an occasional vehicle

Fantastic amenity!
Switched to this car share after a not-​so-​great experience with the «other service».
Just completed a four hour jaunt around town to do some basic errands.
Biked into downtown, chained up, and we were off… it was that simple.
4 stores later and toting tv trays, an outdoor patio set, and 200 pounds of dog food, we were home to unload. A task that would’ve cost a fortune and time waiting to have delivered.
Highly recommend for the city-​based couple like us that are perfectly fine with 2-​wheel travel, that need something for bigger endeavors.

Car sharing is a great option. I have tried it with two different car sharing companies. I chose to come back to e go car share ONLY due to a car’s location very convenient to me (at the Colorado Center). Where it is parked is a little difficult to get in and out of. A truck is always parked very close. They should always front park it so you can just drive forward.
If you use one their Prius hybrids, and have not used one before. please be advised they can really take a learning curve to get used to. I suggest a very short «dry run» reservation when you first join to test the waters.
Pros: I have never had much of an issue with getting a reservation and having the car there when it was supposed to be. Usually the vehicle is clean and with enough fuel (been a couple exceptions). IF I have had to fill it with gas, I simply have done so with my own $. Maybe dumb on my part (they don’t give any credit for that anymore) but less hassle.
Cons: I feel that my interactions with their staff have been less than ideal. They are somewhat abrupt, come across rude and don’t really seem to care about the people driving their cars — the members! If something is amiss, it is the member’s fault. Heaven forbid you do something they don’t like or are trying to contact you for some reason.
My main issue is with their pricing. I have never quite understood their billing system. I feel their pricing is too high overall. I think you could rent a small car for a weekend from Enterprise cheaper these days. I may look into that!
I STRONGLY disagree with the cancellation charge policy. That is, maybe you get finished using the car an hour or so earlier than expected. I tend to err on the side of caution and give myself plenty of reservation time. The driver is STILL responsible for the entire reservation! Same if you end up cancelling on short notice (hey life happens!) I don’t think that is entirely a fair system. You have no way to communicate with other members who might want/​need to use the car. And unless someone takes your reservation, they hold you responsible for the entire thing. I think instead of charging the member for THE ENTIRE RESERVATION there should be a simple flat charge (say $ 15) for a last minute cancellation. I also so strongly feel that if you return the vehicle early that should be seen as a positive and not a negative. You should ONLY be charged for the real time you actually used it.
One of their staff «reminded» me that they actually don’t WANTyou to use their cars. They want you to walk, take the bus or bike. But if you need a car… Maybe that is why they make it a bit difficult at times.
In short, I use eGo CarShare only when absolutely necessary due to the cost and what I feel is unfair charges.

I was one of the first users when eGo Share came to Capitol Hill some years back. I have always embraced the idea and love that this is the only car share here in Denver that is not for profit. The cars are always clean, I was always able to get a car when I needed it and the rates are pretty reasonable. The best part now is they have a full size pickup as well. Great for trips to IKEA, Home Depot and Lowe’s!
As far as using the car goes, I’d suggest a «dry run» before you have to use the car. The first time you use it can be a tad confusing. They have a great training video on their website, make sure you pay attention to it. Using and returning the car is very easy.
Unfortunately, a commute to DTC ever day convinced me to get a car again. I lived that for 3 years and finally got a job where I work from home. As soon as my lease is up on the car that sits in my garage for days and even weeks at a time, I will be a loyal customer again. In the meantime I will certainly be using the truck when I need it.
If I had to complain about one thing, it’s that they only have one car in the Capitol Hill area, the other car share companies have several in the area. eGo share will always be my first choice, but I will need to have the others as standby if that car is used.
Thanks for a great service eGo share!

Very glad to have eGo carshare in Denver. There are many cars downtown and the rental system works pretty well. I was told that it has the cheapest per hour rate in Denver, and I believe it. I took one out for two hours and it was about 13 dollars. They make everything very easy to get started. I signed up online and two days later I got the key fob in the mail to set me on my way. The service is local so they are very responsive dealing with any issues or questions over the phone. My wishlist: an iPhone app would be nice. And they should meter and charge you by the amount of time you use the car, not based on the amount of time you reserved the car for.

I am from a two car household. We live and I work downtown and found one of our cars sitting in the parking garage day after day. After seeing the cars all over downtown I decided try it before we got rid of one car. Well 6 months in I wonder why we ever waited so long. I have never had a problem reserving one or getting one at the last minute. I have even accidentally reserved the wrong location and when I called because I could not get into the car I was at they had the problem fixed in 2 minutes and I was off to my appointment.
Best perk? I no longer have a car payment or insurance payment. I no longer buy gas, get the oil changed, replace the wipers, fix the break lights, get my wheels aligned, tire rotated. It’s all done for me!!! It’s an ideal 2^nd car for my household.
Golden Triangle area car is on my wish list.

So after my car was spending most of the time in the my driveway unused and I was paying insurance, I decided to sell it and go car free.
I was super intimidated at first about being without a car, but just knowing that eGo CarShare has a car location right down the street has calmed my nerves and made my monthly trips to Super Target easy. I just wish they had more cars in more locations.
