Big fan of this company, providing economical rates for eco-friendly cars in the Boulder and Denver area. A brilliant concept before its time, EGo Car Share celebrated its 20th anniversary recently, and they just get it right. The company provides automobiles with an easy-to-use mobile and desktop website, offering new cars for rental periods as short as 15 minutes in length. You use a key fob to access the vehicles, and both pick up and return the vehicles at the same site. Boulder locations are ideal, and I've focused mostly in South Boulder, but there are also cars located near the CU campus, Google Campus, Chautauqua, and the legendary Pearl Street Mall. Guessing as many as 25 options in Boulder. Gas and insurance is on them, just return it clean with at least a quarter tank of gas. Outstanding customer service provided quickly and professionally. Clean cars. Fair rates, a few hours of rental can cost less than $10. Mileage varies between 33 and 38 cents depending on the plan you're on, and lessens after 50 miles of use. Penalties for cancelling at certain periods, but it's only fair when others are looking to use the car. Cars includes snow brushes, and bags for shopping. They've been terrific for me, a great option both in Boulder and near Union Station in Denver! read more

Colorado CarShare - Used this awesome pickup to move a couch - Car Share Services Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

I've been using Colorado CarShare for almost a year now and I love it!! To be honest, it does take a bit of getting used to because you have to reserve a car...you can't just head to the garage, get in and drive away on a whim. And that's actually a good thing! I'm driving less, walking more and saving an enormous amount of money - all good stuff! Colorado CarShare has excellent customer service - it's efficient and it's friendly. The reservation process is actually quite straightforward and can be done online and on the mobile app...no great tech skills are required. And...you don't pay for gas! And...liability insurance is included with your membership. And...the fees are VERY reasonable. And...the cars are kept in excellent condition and the car parked nearest to us is a 2023 Nissan - nice car! I highly recommend Colorado CarShare! read more

I have used Colorado Carshare for over ten years and have been nothing but satisfied with their products and services. Cars have always been available when I was in need. Customer support has been excellent and friendly. I have experienced no billing issues and have always been reimbursed when appropriate. The entire rental process is easy and streamlined with an incredible website and computer support. Their rules and policies are common sense and straightforward. One particularly sensible program they offer is the insurance pool for reducing liability in the event of an accident. I absolutely love the fact that Colorado Carshare is a non-profit organization. I feel like I am contributing to a solution to the traffic and pollution problem. Colorado Carshare is the way to go! read more

Great cars, excellent customer service, affordable pricing. Highly recommend. I have been using their cars for almost 10 years.

Great service! Colorado CarShare has allowed us to avoid owning a car for the last 12 years living in Boulder and now Denver. Love the variety of cars, including small EVs for city driving, pick-up trucks, and AWDs with ski and bike racks. Customer service is excellent with on-call support 24/7 for any issues. Love the non-profit mission of adding EVs to the fleet and serving lower income communities. read more

If you need to be somewhere on time, just Uber. I reserved a car well in advance, already paid, reservation started 15 minutes before I needed to leave, just in case. And something went wrong. They told me they were switching out cars or something and whoever had it previously didn't return it on time. Not the first time it has happened, but this time I had to bike instead, and was late for a job interview. If it's important, don't rely on CarShare. read more

Awesome carshare program! Super convenient and affordable. And as a nonprofit that supports mixed-income communities, it is our go-to for getting around when we need a car (and saving a ton of money over car ownership) read more

I have rented cars and trucks for over ten years from this car share organization and think it is the finest nonprofit and the most wonderful people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. What a blessing to have quality, dependable, clean, affordable gas and electric vehicles to rent as needed. And from people who are caring, fair and trustworthy! What a great service and a pleasure. read more

I love it!! Get rid of your car...download the app and get a Colorado Car Share fob...it's a new world...for many, you don't even need a car anymore. Colorado Car share does it best! read more

Colorado CarShare is great would recommend for anyone. the cars have always been clean and nice late model units. And staff has always been super helpful when issues do arise. read more

I was able to rent one of their cars when one was placed in my area. I've used their cars about 3 times, and it's all been a good experience from using their website to make a reservation to using the fob to lock the car at the end of my reservation. I am only giving 4 stars right now because the car in my area does not have a reserved parking space, so in my opinion, it gets stressful to find a parking spot for the car on the block designated for the return. read more

Booked car twice and both times car not there. First time fi nancial situatuion handled but inconvenience and correction was agaravting. Second time , manager more. concerned with my frustration than correcting problem, argued contrary to facts and threaten me with physical violence. If no problem then service is fine, if problem buyer beware! read more

I use Colorado Carshare multiple times a week and would recommend them to anyone!! There are 8 cars within a mile of my house so there is always one available for me to rent. Their rates are really competitive and have kept me from buying a car. They've taken COVID very seriously and always provide wipes and sanitizer in all of the cars. read more

Car sharing, in general, is a great idea and a non-profit is certainly the smart way to go about doing it. eGo CarShare has done a lot of things right, but there's a lot of things that need improvement. In 2010 eGo CarShare charged me $1,751.35 for their services. But what I paid to use them was significantly higher, as the gas cards they provide to fillup their cars rarely worked and I ended up having to buy gas for the cars several times (to avoid being charged a fee for returning a car with less than a quarter of a tank). They would say under such circumstances that customers would be reimbursed, and I was... sometimes. eGo CarShare was always quick to charge me with a fee for an infraction, but was very capricious when it came to reimbursing me for an inconvenience. Several times a vehicle I had reserved was not there when I went to pick it up, and on one occasion defective to the point that it couldn't be safely driven, but even after reporting it the promised reimbursement for the inconvenience was never credited to my account and I was usually still charged for the time I reserved the vehicle even though I didn't use it. Often times when I called their member support line to report something like that, if someone picked up at all, they would be less than coherently shouting over loud music like they were at a club or a party, which made it difficult to explain what was happening and made me question if they would even remember the conversation or have the ability to do something about it. At the fairly steep price of $4.00 per hour and $0.30 cents per mile (not including the fees for things as basic as using their phone service), they could do a lot better. read more

Fantastic amenity! Switched to this car share after a not-so-great experience with the "other service". Just completed a four hour jaunt around town to do some basic errands. Biked into downtown, chained up, and we were off...it was that simple. 4 stores later and toting tv trays, an outdoor patio set, and 200 pounds of dog food, we were home to unload. A task that would've cost a fortune and time waiting to have delivered. Highly recommend for the city-based couple like us that are perfectly fine with 2-wheel travel, that need something for bigger endeavors. read more

Colorado CarShare is so incredibly helpful when owning a car is so expensive and public transit isn't always an option. Super convenient to run errands, and so affordable! Can often book last minute and trips can be as short/cheap as you want. Highly recommend if you're looking for a cheaper and greener alternative. read more

I am from a two car household. We live and I work downtown and found one of our cars sitting in the parking garage day after day. After seeing the cars all over downtown I decided try it before we got rid of one car. Well 6 months in I wonder why we ever waited so long. I have never had a problem reserving one or getting one at the last minute. I have even accidentally reserved the wrong location and when I called because I could not get into the car I was at they had the problem fixed in 2 minutes and I was off to my appointment. Best perk? I no longer have a car payment or insurance payment. I no longer buy gas, get the oil changed, replace the wipers, fix the break lights, get my wheels aligned, tire rotated. It's all done for me!!!! It's an ideal 2nd car for my household. Golden Triangle area car is on my wish list. read more

I have used a couple of times. I was a member for more than 3 month. Honestly, they rip you off with everything. I wish there was another option in boulder. I paid a lot money for nothing(not taklin about the drive calculations). It happened to two of my friends too. two of them and then me. I would say they just charge you for nothing. Shawn was nice but the whole policy is ripping of people read more

Ego car sharing initially caught my eye solely because it was seemingly much more affordable than other car sharing companies. However, it becomes painfully obvious that Ego Car Share will find manipulative ways to nickel and dime the customer which causes the actual price of the service to be much more expensive than its competitors pricing. The billing system is misleading and deceptive. Ego will "estimate" the cost of the trip and bill your credit card the estimated cost. However, over a month later you will receive a lump sum charge of all the additional fees ego decided to charge you in addition to the "estimated" cost. It's a very manipulative billing process because the customer has no idea how much the true cost of the trip is until over a month later. The staff working for ego seem clueless as to how to operate a business in a professional manner. I called ego to get an explanation for one of the hidden charges and was promptly condescended and treated like I was an inconvenience by the man who "helped" me. I will never use this service again, and I encourage other potential customers to choose one of ego's competitors instead. read more

So after my car was spending most of the time in the my driveway unused and I was paying insurance, I decided to sell it and go car free. I was super intimidated at first about being without a car, but just knowing that eGo CarShare has a car location right down the street has calmed my nerves and made my monthly trips to Super Target easy. I just wish they had more cars in more locations. read more

Very often dirty vehicles, a complete pain in the butt to fuel (took me 30 minutes both times because of various card issues) and I was never reimbursed either time for my efforts. The company appears to be out of Boulder and it shows. Beyond rude staff, incapable of sending a correct bill and completely incapable of solving any problems related to billing. I cancelled our account after a short period and have NOTHING nice to say about this service. The concept is great, but as a result of how they treat their customers these people deserve to be out of business. BEWARE if you cancel your account THEY WILL KEEP THE REMAINING BALANCE -- EVEN IF SOME OF THE CHARGES WERE INCORRECT!!!!! read more

I was one of the first users when eGo Share came to Capitol Hill some years back. I have always embraced the idea and love that this is the only car share here in Denver that is not for profit. The cars are always clean, I was always able to get a car when I needed it and the rates are pretty reasonable. The best part now is they have a full size pickup as well. Great for trips to IKEA, Home Depot and Lowe's! As far as using the car goes, I'd suggest a "dry run" before you have to use the car. The first time you use it can be a tad confusing. They have a great training video on their website, make sure you pay attention to it. Using and returning the car is very easy. Unfortunately, a commute to DTC ever day convinced me to get a car again. I lived that for 3 years and finally got a job where I work from home. As soon as my lease is up on the car that sits in my garage for days and even weeks at a time, I will be a loyal customer again. In the meantime I will certainly be using the truck when I need it. If I had to complain about one thing, it's that they only have one car in the Capitol Hill area, the other car share companies have several in the area. eGo share will always be my first choice, but I will need to have the others as standby if that car is used. Thanks for a great service eGo share! read more

Love car sharing services and never had a problem with ZipCar but these guys wanted information on minor accidents that happened 8 and 9 years ago, even though their form only asks for 3 years. Arbitrary and capricious. read more

Recently rented an eGo pick up truck in South Boulder to help on the day before my move. It worked out great. I was able to move way more stuff with the truck which made things go faster and reduced stress related to my move. I have always found eGo CarShare to be reliable, affordable and easy to use. Huge advocate for this type of service and wish we had more cars where I live in Longmont! Also love that they are a nonprofit and are in it for the right reasons...saving the planet! read more

Very glad to have eGo carshare in Denver. There are many cars downtown and the rental system works pretty well. I was told that it has the cheapest per hour rate in Denver, and I believe it. I took one out for two hours and it was about 13 dollars. They make everything very easy to get started. I signed up online and two days later I got the key fob in the mail to set me on my way. The service is local so they are very responsive dealing with any issues or questions over the phone. My wishlist: an iPhone app would be nice. And they should meter and charge you by the amount of time you use the car, not based on the amount of time you reserved the car for. read more

Using Ego Carshare has been truly exceptional. This nonprofit makes the entire frontrange a wonderful place to live without car ownership. I'll never forget reserving the wrong car on a cold snowy holiday. When a car wouldn't unlock (again I had actually reserved another vehicle) I called the service and miraculuously an employee helped me and transferred the reservation for no extra charge. Wow! In another instance I left a window open upon car return. An employee called me an hour later and I was allowed to close the window without penalty. Wow! When I reported a maintinance issue (lights on a Prius wouldn't work) that vehicle was replaced. They hope to work with you to make the service functional. The cars are certainly used and show wear, but they are clean and maintained. After I moved outside Colorado Ego Carshare allowed me to convert into a membership without yearly fees. I can still visit the frontrange and use the service. Can I say it again, wow? Who are these people? Certainly, they will fine you for late car return and there can be charges for cancellation. But the rules are clearly stated. I never arrived to find a car missing and I never had problems with availability. Occasionally liberal reservation extensions were allowed, but sometimes subsequent reservations prevented additional use. Expect the expected, not the unexpected, with this remarkable organization. Always cheaper than car rental, and cheaper than other for-profit carshares. I am attempting a for-profit carshare outside of Colorado, it will be an interesting comparison. read more

Great nonprofit car share program, affordable. Cars are easily accessible from nearly anywhere in the Denver area. Customer service is amazing. Great for someone who needs an occasional vehicle read more

Car sharing is a great option. I have tried it with two different car sharing companies. I chose to come back to e go car share ONLY due to a car's location very convenient to me (at the Colorado Center). Where it is parked is a little difficult to get in and out of. A truck is always parked very close. They should always front park it so you can just drive forward. If you use one their Prius hybrids, and have not used one before. please be advised they can really take a learning curve to get used to. I suggest a very short "dry run" reservation when you first join to test the waters. Pros: I have never had much of an issue with getting a reservation and having the car there when it was supposed to be. Usually the vehicle is clean and with enough fuel (been a couple exceptions). IF I have had to fill it with gas, I simply have done so with my own $. Maybe dumb on my part (they don't give any credit for that anymore) but less hassle. Cons: I feel that my interactions with their staff have been less than ideal. They are somewhat abrupt, come across rude and don't really seem to care about the people driving their cars - the members!. If something is amiss, it is the member's fault. Heaven forbid you do something they don't like or are trying to contact you for some reason. My main issue is with their pricing. I have never quite understood their billing system. I feel their pricing is too high overall. I think you could rent a small car for a weekend from Enterprise cheaper these days. I may look into that! I STRONGLY disagree with the cancellation charge policy. That is, maybe you get finished using the car an hour or so earlier than expected. I tend to err on the side of caution and give myself plenty of reservation time. The driver is STILL responsible for the entire reservation! Same if you end up cancelling on short notice (hey life happens!) I don't think that is entirely a fair system. You have no way to communicate with other members who might want/need to use the car.. And unless someone takes your reservation, they hold you responsible for the entire thing. I think instead of charging the member for THE ENTIRE RESERVATION there should be a simple flat charge (say $15) for a last minute cancellation. I also so strongly feel that if you return the vehicle early that should be seen as a positive and not a negative. You should ONLY be charged for the real time you actually used it. One of their staff "reminded" me that they actually don't WANTyou to use their cars. They want you to walk, take the bus or bike. But if you need a car...Maybe that is why they make it a bit difficult at times. In short, I use eGo CarShare only when absolutely necessary due to the cost and what I feel is unfair charges. read more

Check your billing statements with this company, their system has charged my card 2 different times in past 6months for the incorrect amount and when I called to see why was told it was my fault both times (though it was a problem with their system, as they later discovered after blaming me 3 ways & telling me my bank statement must be wrong both times). Though the idea of this company is great the business aspects are run very poorly. Poor customer service in relation to billing, would not recommend to friends. read more
