I-GO Car Sharing provides members with access to a metro-wide fleet of vehicles on an hourly basis. Once you choose a driving plan and membership option, you reserve any car you like in advance and drive it for as long as your reservation. It’s not like car pool because it’s your vehicle for the amount of time you reserve it. It’s not like car rental because you pick up and drop off the vehicle at the same designated I-GO parking space in your neighborhood. You can reserve a vehicle for 30 minutes or as long as you need it, but the best and most cost-effective trips are those that are short in time and distance. X

We are proud to be the first and only non-profit car sharing organization in Chicago. Our commitment to bringing convenient and affordable car sharing to as many neighborhoods in Chicago and the suburbs as possible means we put our mission at the core of our business model and our revenue is recycled back into the organization to better serve our members.

We’re the most convenient and affordable car sharing service in Chicago. Because part of our mission is to serve all neighborhoods, you’ll find I-GO cars more geographically dispersed. Most of our cars are also near or adjacent to CTA routes and rail stations—making our joint smart card with CTA a great idea for combining I-GO and public transit. But what really sets us apart from other car sharing organizations is the informed, personalized service provided by our local I-GO team; our easy-to-use online reservation system (including a mobile site for smart phones); and our environmental mission—exemplified by an entirely low-emission fleet, nearly half of which is comprised of hybrid cars (including plug-ins). Members can independently manage their account, yet be assured that a live person is available to problem-solve 24/7 if ever needed.X

Our survey research shows that when people share cars they reduce driving, which in effect reduces traffic congestion and pollution. See I-GO’s Green Vision and Benefits for more details on our green initiatives and how you can contribute toward those goals as a member.X

Owning a vehicle isn’t always an option or desire for urban dwellers. I-GO is a healthy option for communities that want to reduce traffic and parking congestion, lower transportation costs for everyone, and improve the quality of life in their neighborhoods.X
