225 car2go vehicles roll into Vancouver June 18

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) June 17, 2011 -- On April 27th, car2go Canada Ltd CEO Nicholas Cole and Mayor Gregor Robertson
announced Vancouver, British Columbia as the first Canadian city selected to launch the
innovative carsharing service, where cars have no reservations time limits, and members
are allowed to make one-way trips instead of returning cars to their pickup location. Since
the announcement, approximately 2,000 Vancouverites have registered and received
their membership cards. Members will be able to drive the vehicles starting Saturday
June 18th.

Following the overwhelmingly positive response, car2go has extended the free
registration period (which represents a $35 value) until July 3rd. Vancouver residents can
register at www.car2govancouver.com, or in person at the car2go office at 45 Water Street
in Gastown.

To further celebrate the launch, car2go is also extending an open invitation to special events
held at four neighbourhood coffee houses in Vancouver on Saturday June 18th. Between
10am and 5pm, residents can register in person, receive their membership card on-site, take
a car2go for a short drive and enjoy a free coffee at the following four local iconic coffee

houses:

Waves Coffee, 2588 Main Street,
Kits Coffee Co, 2198 West 4th Avenue
Delany's Coffee House, 1105 Denman St
Bean Around the World in Yaletown, 1002 Mainland St.

As a sustainable transportation option, car2go is pleased to be playing a role in the City
of Vancouver’s goal to become the “greenest city” in the world by 2020. Members can
rent a car2go “on-demand” or reserve a vehicle up to 24 hours in advance. The car2go
vehicles that are readily available to be driven can be viewed on the internet or with a

smartphone app, and can be driven for as long as needed without committing to a return
time. Just simply end the rental by leaving the vehicle at any “permit only” on-street parking
spot in downtown or residential neighbourhoods within the defined business area, or in one
of the specially marked car2go parking spaces.

Members pay for what they use by the minute with discounted rates for hourly and daily
use and are only charged for the time they use the car2go. Rates include fuel, parking,
mileage, insurance, maintenance and GPS navigation.

car2go now has a global network of more than 40,000 members and 1,000 smart

vehicles. Based on its impressive success, car2go will further expand in other North
American and European cities in 2011.
