So yesterday was Blog Action Day. It is suppose to be designed for bloggers to promote the environment because of this thing called Global Warming happening right this minute.
The San Francisco Bay Area is becoming more and more like Los Angeles with the amount of smog and air quality around here. Yeah, there are sure a lot of Hybrids around town and even SF Muni is replacing their gas guzzing buses with electric hybrid rides.
So what’ s a quick way to save the environment and also save your wallet. If you are like me, I don’t really need a car 24/7. Having to commute with public transportation is easy and cheap.
PROS:
- Don’t have to worry about leaving the car outside and having some f*ker bang into it at night
- Saves on upkeep of the car (ie. Oil Change, tire rotation and filters, car wash, etc.. )
- You pay a flat fee from $8.75 an hour or $65 a day. Gas and insurance is included. And you can drive it up to 180 miles per day.
- Drive a wide variety of cars, including xA, xBs, Civics, Versa and 3’s to Tacoma’s, Elements and even more luxurious options like a S40 or a 328i even
- Cars are almost everywhere in the metro areas. Around my workplace, I can walk1 block and have access to 5 cars. Another 10 min walk would yield me 20 more available cars.
- You book your car appointment online, through the website. Unlike a rental car company, there is no paperwork or going into their place to rent the car. The cars are out on the street!
Like any kind of membership inclusion, there is a small signup fee for it, but with the link here, you can signup through my referral and get $50 free driving credit. You have to pay a one time startup fee of $25, but in the long run it’s well well worth it.
Enjoy the rest of the day and please please try to change the way we use a car!
