I-GO and Zipcar Car Sharing

I-GO and Zipcar Car Sharing allows members to use one of their fleet of cars. They both provide the convenience, affordability and reliability of transportation without owning a car.

Members are billed a low hourly or daily rate that includes gas, insurance, maintenance and repairs.

I-GO

I-GO is Chicago's only home town, non-profit car sharing company. Use I-GO and only pay for a car when you use it. You never have to pay for gas, insurance, or repairs.
