I-GO expands to 38th Ward at Portage Park

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

I-GO is excited to announce the expansion of its local, non-profit, car sharing program to the 38th Ward!  As part of its ongoing partnership with the Chicago Park District, a red Toyota Prius Hybrid is now located in the Portage Park parking lot at 5456 W. Berteau.

I-GO’s 14,000+ members have hourly access to a fleet of more than 200 eco-friendly cars conveniently located in 35 Chicago neighborhoods and four suburbs. Reservations can be made minutes before you need a car or up to a year in advance from your computer, smart phone, or by calling I-GO’s 24-hour reservation line.  Unlike car rental, there are no lines to wait in, no paperwork to fill out, and our cars can be picked up and returned any time of the day or night and any day of the week (including Sundays and holidays).

Rates start as low as $6.75 an hour or $70 a day and include gas, insurance, a reserved parking space and all vehicle maintenance! (Rates do not include tax and vary depending on pricing plan, car type and day of the week.) I-GO locations on the northwest side now include Portage Park, Avondale, Logan Square, Old Irving, Albany Park and Lincoln Square (Jefferson Park is coming soon).

To celebrate this Portage Park expansion, I-GO is offering Portage Park area residents a special discount: Join now for only $25 and also receive $25 in free driving (a total of $75 in savings). Just enter the promotion code PORTAGE in the “Promotions” section of the online application form. (The offer expires 12/31/10). If you’re already a member, share this email with someone that you know. If they join and enter your name in the referral field on the application, you get $20 in free driving!

When transit, walking or biking isn’t an option, use I-GO for your grocery shopping and errand running, to get to appointments and sports practices on time, or to visit friends and family in the suburbs.  When you need a car by the hour or by the day, I-GO is the answer!
