HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
· There is an up-front, one-time $500 refundable deposit charged to all new CarSharing households ($1000 for business memberships). This goes into our operating pool and covers your deductible should you get into an accident. If you leave Calgary or leave CarShare, we will be sad to see you go, but will happily refund your deposit as long as your driving record with us has been clean. *Please note, that if you do have an accident and we have to dip into the pool for your deductable, you will need to top that up again to maintain a $500 balance.
· All drivers are charged $5/month for every individual member (whether you’re in an Individual, Joint or Business Account) to help us the cost of vehicle maintenance and 24-hour roadside assistance.
· Rental rates consist of a combined hourly charge and mileage charge. The hourly charge varies depending on the time of day and week. Check out the chart below to determine the most cost effective time to drive. The mileage charge is $0.25/km at any time. All vehicles are billed at the same rate.
· Additional charges will apply to violations that inconvenience other members, such as
o Returning a vehicle late
o Leave the car in an unacceptable condition
o Taking the wrong vehicle or taking a vehicle without booking
· You will also be charged for any tickets (parking, speeding, etc.) issued to Calgary CarShare for infractions incurred during your rental period.
