Employers
“I-GO not only allowed me to maintain a ‘separate vehicle’
for business expenses, but when my own vehicle suffered transmission problems,
I decided that I really didn’t need it anymore.“I’m regularly approached by people when picking up or dropping off my
I-GO car, and I’m happy to hand them a brochure from the glove box, explain how
the service works, and comment on how happy I am to have joined.”—Tim W. Evil-Squirrel Comics owner, member since March 2006
Many companies occasionally need a car, but don’t necessarily want to own a
company car. Organizations and businesses use I-GO for workday employee mobility.
If your employees prefer to ride transit or bicycles to work, but still occasionally
need a car for meetings and appointments, I-GO can help by freeing you to focus
on what’s really important—your business.
Public Agencies and Fleet Managers
Many vehicle fleets—if their total monthly per-vehicle costs are divided
by hours of actual use—cost upwards of $15 per hour to operate. Faced with
increased financial constraints, public agencies and private companies alike are
looking closely at their fleets, and working with I-GO to “right size” their fleets.
Some find that it’s more economical to eliminate all of their in-house vehicles;
others keep some vehicles, but sell off those with lower utilization, and use
I-GO to fill the gaps.
Universities, Hospitals and other Campuses
Universities, hospitals, hotels, and corporate campuses are often located in
dense urban areas where real estate is expensive and parking is scarce. Accommodating
cars with new parking structures typically costs between $25,000 and $40,000 per
space! I-GO already works with several Chicago universities to reduce parking
demand. This program has significantly decreased parking demand for a fraction
of what it would have cost to increase the on-campus parking supply. Click here

Condo, Apartment and Office Buildings
Supplying two parking spaces for every 1,000 square feet of living space has
long been the norm in U.S. cities. Amazingly, this code requires equal amounts
of urban land to be used for parking as is used for housing and offices! By offering
shared I-GO vehicles for a building’s residents, developers can reduce the overall
parking demand—and offer residents a money-saving amenity! Everyone benefits
from this arrangement:
- The city attracts more downtown development without having to subsidize expensive
parking structures - The developer saves money on parking construction and reduces overall development
costs - The developer earns a LEED credit
- The property manager can offer an on-site I-GO car, an attractive amenity
- Residents reduce their cost of living and live healthier lifestyles by driving
less and riding transit and walking more
