Let's be honest here: even if you happen to be fortunate enough to live just a stroll away from just about everything you need, and just about everyplace else you need to get to can be done by hopping on the train, bus or a bike ride, there are just some instances where you really do need to drive a car. Renting one for an entire day seems so illogical and full of hassle, and owning a car for those couple of trips every month is really just so impractical. Be it for industrial sized shopping for the month or getting out to the western burbs for an hour or two, sometimes it sure would be nice not to have to rent a car or call in a favor. For folks like you, may I present I-Go cars: a Chicago based company that's making the city a little greener, one car at a time.
I know you must have seen one parked at the store and it got you thinking a bit. Maybe you have even wondered if it really is as easy as the ads portray. Well let me tell you: I-Go cars are the wave of the future, and now that they have been around long enough to pass the business litmus test, it looks like they really are here to stay! Even my alderman drives one!
It's little wonder why it's so popular: on top of dealing with fighting for a parking spot or dropping hundreds of dollars on car payments, mandatory insurance and maintenance, folks are also waiving paying for city stickers, zoned parking and lot fees. Plus, with so many neighborhoods covered, pretty much anyone can reserve one within walking distance of their homes, right on their computers, for as little as $5 per hour. An added advantage is the cars available are rather nice, with many of them available in hybrid versions!
So hey, why not explore going car free? In this day and age, Chicagoans no longer need to be shackled to cars they hardly drive, now that I-Go has become such a fixture. Of course, folks are also discovering Zip Cars, which operate pretty much the same way and are available in many cities around the country, but for me, I'd rather go with the home team!
Whoops! We can't seem to find any.
