What our members say
"Before CarShare Vermont came into our lives, we could only go places that were walk-able, bike-able, or on the bus line, unless one of our few car-owning friends was willing to drive us. For our camping honeymoon, none of those was an option so we joined CarShare Vermont. A few clicks and we had Nora reserved for four days. In terms of cost, CarShare Vermont was comparable to any rental once you factor in the cost of gas and insurance, not to mention more convenient. Thanks for making our honeymoon happen!"
– Patrick & Sarah, recently hitched
"Our nine-year-old car gave its last gasp in December of ‘08. We didn’t have the money to buy a new car at the time, but with two kids, groceries and work, we knew we would need one from time to time. We joined CarShare Vermont and now use the cars for all of our driving needs. Not having our own vehicle hasn’t always been easy, but it’s worth it. We are saving the environment for our kids and taking one little step at breaking our dependence on oil."
– Andrea & Phil, family of four in the New North End
"There are many things that I love about CarShare Vermont. First, it's right outside my office. Second, it keeps me mobile throughout the day even though I leave my car at home and take the bus. It also helps us keep our family car longer as we know we have a backup. And CarShare is so easy to use and is well worth what we pay for it. I love sharing."
– Anna, busy working mom
"CarShare Vermont has been a terrific resource for us over the past year. When our second car went to the Good News Garage, we compared the cost of car-sharing with buying a second car and car-sharing was the clear winner. CarShare Vermont is a very well run organization, and a pleasantly pro-environment way for our family to use a second car on an as-needed basis."
–Fred & Amy, fans of Nora in the Five Sisters
"When I decided to go car-free a year ago, CarShare Vermont was just getting started. I'd seen an article about it in the paper and knew that car-sharing would be an essential part of my decision to drive less. Today I have a personal account, and I've also logged a lot of miles on my business membership provided by my very supportive employer. A year later, I have to say giving up the car was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I couldn't have done it without CarShare Vermont."
– Scudder, avid bike commuter
"I think I may be falling in love with Horatio. What a Prius – always clean and shiny and fun to drive. We seem to find interesting places and good company everywhere we go! Plus, CarShare Vermont couldn't be a better arrangement for my small business."
– Chris Howell, Vermont Farm Tours
"Our experience as a CarShare Vermont business user has only been positive. The cost is on par with what we reimburse for mileage, and employees aren't having to put wear and tear on their own family chariots. Plus, you can take the bus or walk to work and always have a car at the ready for out of office meetings."
