GoGet

GoGet

GoGet CarShare is a car sharing service operating in Sydney and Melbourne, and the first such program in Australia. GoGet was launched as Newtown CarShare on June 6 2003 with three vehicles and twelve founding members. Following interest from the City of Darebin, the service was extended to Melbourne under the name "GoGet" in November 2004. With the growth of the service to other areas in Sydney, Newtown CarShare was renamed GoGet in May 2005.

GoGet members chose a rate plan and pay an annual fee. Fees cover gasoline, insurance, maintenance, and cleaning. The vehicles are mostly late-model sedans, but also include SUVs and station wagons. Each vehicle has a home location, referred to as a "pod", either in a parking lot or on a street, typically in a highly-populated urban neighborhood. Members reserve a car by web or telephone and use a key card to access the vehicle.

GoGet is an invented word which reflects the utility you get from using, rather than owning, a car. As in 'Go get the shopping, go get the kids.'
