That wasn't often and still isn't often, but yes, sometimes you just need a car. I joined I-Go for the convenience of being able to borrow a car for a few hours instead of paying for an entire weekend when the car mostly sat parked. I've learned to love I-Go not only for that, but for allowing me to choose *what* car I want to drive when I need one. My friends with cars are somewhat jealous of my 'fleet.'

I've really enjoyed using the service so far, and am glad to do anything I can to get out the word. I think there's so much potential here for a sea change in how people view cars and transportation in general. Services like I-GO are a great start, and I hope that they move more towards the mainstream as people realize how affordable, easy and FUN it is. @Hugh – thanks for the link!

Our premium insurance provides $300,000 per accident and a $5000 per person limit per accident for medical payments.
