    I decided to give goget a whirl today to meet a friend in an awkward part of town and do some errands while I was at it - gee it’s a rather pricey venture once you add it all up. I can only justify it by doing multiple things on the one trip and hope it’s all close by so you don’t rack up heaps of km. Car Next Door (now Uber Carshare) is not much better at all given its high booking fee - $7 per booking! - and not very transparent pricing.

    Flexicar looks like better value for money but unfortunately the closest car is 2km away and no PT in between…

    E: holy cow the final bill was $62.20 for 3.5 hours and 30 km. Think if I need to visit a friend next time I’ll just take a cab/uber and ask them for a ride if I need to pick up or move stuff…

      How about Popcar on the Often plan? $59 + $20 zero excess for a Corolla per day which includes 200km. Can give you a referral too.

        Wow, that’s definitely a much better deal. But there’s a gaping black hole of no locations near me 😭 it’s a 2.4km walk…
