Car2go and ReachNow are joining together as one company!

[myi]

As you may have seen, today Daimler and BMW – the parent companies of car2go and ReachNow, respectively – signed an agreement to form a joint venture that would unite both companies’ carsharing services.

The obvious questions you may have for us are: What does this mean for me? Or, how will the service change? Let’s take them one at a time.

What does this mean for me and my car2go membership?

Your car2go membership is unaffected. The way you’re using car2go today is the same way you’ll be able to use our service in the coming days, weeks and probably months. Why? Because even though the two companies have signed an agreement to form a joint venture, the proposed joint venture will require regulatory approval.

Only after regulatory agencies approve the joint venture can the companies begin to move forward to create a new, combined service. And that in itself will take time.

How will the service change?

To confirm, you should not expect to see any changes to our service for the foreseeable future. And you can be sure that we will update you on any developments.

Ultimately, we believe that by joining forces we can deliver a free-float carshare service for you that is even bigger and better than it is today, with a greater variety of vehicles to choose from. We are really excited about the possibilities, and we hope you are too!

Thank you for your car2go membership, and stay tuned.

But I think there's a big difference in pricing and promotions, ReachNow has promotions very often, original prices are better as well.

Here's an email someone sent me, as I don't have reach now, never signed up.

Car2Go also has full size, although not in Brooklyn yet.

Is Car2go signup instant and you can right away take a car? I see it says that it takes 1-2 days for membership to be processed.

I don't think it's instant. I think I heard they have to verify that the license is valid or something like that.

Takes some time for verification.

Back in the day when I signed up it wasn't like that.

Hello myi,

We're thrilled to share some exciting news with you today. Daimler AG and BMW Group, the parent companies of car2go and mobility service DriveNow, are joining forces to create the world’s largest and most exciting free-floating carsharing company.

WE PROUDLY PRESENT: SHARE NOW

ALL ABOUT SHARE NOW
car2go and BMW Group's mobility service DriveNow are not the only ones coming together. We will be part of a family of the world’s most innovative urban mobility solutions: parking, charging, ride-hailing, multimodal trip-planning, and, of course, carsharing. Learn all about the joint venture and our shared vision below.

ALL ABOUT THE JOINT VENTURE


OUR NEW LOGO

Starting today, you can expect to see the car2go and SHARE NOW logos side-by-side – in the app, on our website, on our cars, everywhere. 

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?

Your car2go membership is unaffected. The way you've used car2go is the same way you’ll continue to use it. In the future, you may see added benefits like new cities and fleet options. Even though we are one company now, we will need time to fully bring our services together. We will update you on any new developments and benefits as the joint venture between Daimler and BMW's mobility services progresses. 

All the best, 
Your car2go team

Share now is instead of Car2go.

Just today car2go became part of Share now.

They have discounted cars for $0.35 a minute and they only have one Mercedes available in New York area.
  And like usual the $10 to $15 when signing up for a new account when someone refers you.

[Driver]

That 0.35/min is going on a while now, still didn't realize what the difference is between the 0.41 cars & the 0.35
