These are a few things you can do with a Pogo car:

Drive downtown, park at a meter, ignore it and don't pay for parking.
Drive to a bar on Whyte, park, take transit home (or get a ride). Don't ever worry about where you parked, let alone ever having to retrieve the car.
Drive to the mountains for the weekend. Charge all of the gas cost to the Pogo gas card.
Help a friend move or pick up furniture from IKEA.

Here's what it costs:

No monthly fee.
No annual fee.
Free on-street parking in the Pogo zone.
No charge for gas.
No charge for insurance.
No charge for maintenance.
A one-time sign up fee. Which, until February 15, can be $0 for EBC members.
$0.47 per minute, $14.99/hr, or $69.99/day (+ GST). You only pay for what's used.

Pogo CarShare is a local company. There is no monthly or annual fee: you only pay for the time you drive, and a one-time sign-up fee (to cover the costs of checking drivers' abstracts, etc).

And now, you can sign up for free with your EBC membership.

The first 50 EBC members to sign up for Pogo using their member promo code* will receive $10 off the sign-up fee--PLUS, if they use the service for a minimum of 30 minutes (either as one trip or a few small ones) by the end of February 2015, Pogo will refund their application fee entirely!

Pogo covers most parking costs, including metered parking, so using it for a few short downtown trips can pay for itself very quickly.

*Promo expires February 15, 2015. Promo code is limited to registered EBC members only. Max 50.
