With the rise in popularity in the green movement and more and more people needing to eliminate a drain on their bank account because of the economy, the logical choice for many Chicago residents is to get rid of their car. This may seem extreme, but when you think about the many different ways in which someone can get around, it makes perfect sense. Inevitably, however, no sooner than you get rid of your car and you will need another one, and you will also need one intermittently throughout your life.

Thankfully, the days of storing and paying for your car’s care every month are long gone. With car share companies you can save a ton of money over keeping your car while also maintaining the ability to drive where you need and when you need to. However, the initial investment of the monthly (or yearly) membership rate, the total cost of the usage of vehicle and a general fear of the unknown can make many people stop and rethink their decision.

Nevertheless, should you need an additional discount on top of the great savings that a car share can provide, you shouldn’t have trouble finding one. Many car share companies and co-ops have various promotions that they run in order to gain more members. Some may offer discounts on the initial membership prices, others may offer a discount valid throughout the year on membership costs and many of them will even offer discounts for usage.
