I wouldn't recommend useing car2go often,  it's very expensive,  most of the times you end up better off with a car service.
Not really. Figure you're paying around the same for car / gas / mileage, but you're not paying for the drivers salary..

If you actually ran the numbers, you'd see that it usually comes out cheaper then a car service / taxi / uber.
Although with these options, you don't need to worry about finding parking.

-1 on 95% of occasions. By me it was usually ~ half price.

I had a different experience with them,  they are very expensive ( take in consideration the tax what they charge)  and with all the traffic I ended up paying not that much  cheaper then a car service
money doesn't talk......      it SCREAMS !

Not always is money the only factor, though. Many times it's worthwhile paying the extra few $$s for a car service and not having to walk to the car or wait for one to be available. In every situation I weighed my options.

I had free minutes on my account and took a ride, but was charged because i "used a different payment profile", which it says nothing about in the t&c's. I asked them to credit the minutes towards the ride, but they refused (and instead gave me more free minutes). I disputed the charge with the credit card, like i warned them i would. Waiting to see their reaction if they ban me.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Is it worth the gamble?

It was more the principle of the matter for me. I don't use it enough to really care if they throw me off.

You're not dealing with an individual, this is a big company, you're not teaching anyone a lesson.

I agree with you,  I'd even dispute a $1 charge if I feel It wasn't a fare transaction.  It's not the $1 that would make me rich.

Car2Go doesn't take AMEX. But still, less than a minute is time.
