Saddle up with the I-GO Team at this year’s Bike the Drive on Sunday, May 29!
We’re organizing a group of riders from the I-GO staff and membership to meet up at Jackson & Columbus at 8 a.m. and two-wheel our way along a car-less Lake Shore Drive. You’ll get a free I-GO T-shirt, meet fellow eco-minded folks and I-GO CEO Sharon Feigon, and help spread the good word on car sharing!
The event benefits our pals at the Active Transportation Alliance, and I-GO members get $5 off registration at www.bikethedrive.org with code IGO5. I-GO is providing support-and-gear cars for the ride, and we’ll have a table at the fun post-ride fest where friends of yours can join I-GO at a special discount.

The fuel, the proud, the I-GO team
Tuesday, May 10th, 2011
As gas prices go through the roof, everyone is flipping out — except for I-GO members. The cool kids of car sharing never pay for gas.
Fuel efficiency and low-emission standards are a driving force at I-GO. Our entire fleet meets that criteria, and we’re always looking for more ways to lower our carbon footprint and costs. Here are a few ways you can help us make an even bigger difference:
- When you need to fill the gas tank during your next trip, refuel with 87 octane.
- If you have a web-enabled mobile device, try using an app like GasBuddy to locate nearby stations with the lowest prices.
- Check out the new gas slider tool on Abogo, a site developed by our colleagues at CNT, that shows how rising gas prices could affect household transportation costs at a given location.
- Don’t keep I-GO a secret! Tell your friends about us and help them save more moolah too. For every new I-GO member who lists you as a reference on their application, we’ll add $20 in free driving to your I-GO account.
Spread the word enough and you just might be driving for next to nada. And that’s definitely something to get pumped about.

Friday, May 6th, 2011
The newly redesigned Chicago Reader is doing Groupon-style deals now. (Who isn’t these days?) We’re happy to help them pitch today’s Real Deal: $5 instead of $15 for one-day admission to the awesome Green Festival on May 14 or 15 at McCormick Place.
Haven’t heard about Green Fest? Learn more here.
Why? Because I-GO will again have a super-fun booth at the fest, which is a treasure trove of green goods, services, workshops, ethnic crafts and clothing, and savory veggie chow. It’s our fave fest of the year, and we’ll be dishing out something special too: discounted I-GO memberships.
So buy that ticket, check out this fun, enlightening, eco fair, and sign yourself or someone else up for the coolest car-sharing org in town: I-GO!
Hope to see you there!
High gas prices make I-GO better option, reports Red Eye
Wednesday, May 4th, 2011
Today’s Red Eye continues the paper’s coverage bemoaning the escalating cost of gas in Chicago. Prices here have soared to record highs and are convincing more Chicagoans that public transit and car sharing are preferable options to owning a car. Members of I-GO Car Sharing, Chicago’s only nonprofit car sharing organization, pay low hourly fees for cars whenever they need them, but NEVER pay for gas!
And that is a huge advantage to joining I-GO, which maintains a varied, fuel-efficient fleet of more than 200 cars throughout the city and four suburbs.
Gas in Chicago hits record hig…
