It works amazing in Germany. There are plenty of them over years now.

I see no indication of a version 2.0... No blog post, tweet, email from Car2Go, app update or any mention of a release. Android is also at version 3 for a while. Where can I find information about "Car2Go 2.0"?

Car2go has really stepped up its game. In Seattle, they've replaced all their smart cars with brand new Mercedes-Benz. With Lyft / Uber prices rising, I've found myself using Car2go more and more as an alternative to owning a car.

Pros:

+ No membership fee

+ You get to drive around in a sweet Mercedes Benz

+ Cars are refueled for you

+ Don't need to return car to pickup

Cons:

- Limited space (not great for storing lots of luggage / equipment)

I understand Lime and Bird you know where there grab and go model, but that's for scooters, really not sure about how well it will work with cars

@aaronoleary I've been using car2go for more than 5 years. It’s great and works flawlessly.

@andreaspizsa Nice! It's pretty innovative, much cheaper than buying a car

@andreaspizsa They arent here in Ireland yet, so excuse my scepticism
Andreas Pizsa
@aaronoleary No worries. It may still be worth signing up if you travel to supported countries. Also check out Drive Now, who have BMWs, which I prefer over Smarts and Mercedes (0€ registration + 20 minutes with this link)

In Toronto GM have gone direct to market themselves with a service called Maven, such a great idea!

@ish Sorry, where's the "2.0" come from?! What's new about this that made you post it and get all the Product Hunt karma? This should be taken down and a slap on the wrist should be delivered.

The switch to Mercedes has been a pretty big shift. And with Lyft and Uber prices rising, I think it's a really pivotal moment for the company and the industry.

@Joshua - I don't care about "karma". Just wanted to share the brand refresh as it hasn't been discussed on PH yet.

Hi, I breathe in Las Vegas every year and always rent a car, otherwise getting around is not convenient. Since I travel to other states and cities. I know there are excellent options for renting a luxury car in Las Vegas . If you rent a car, then you will not regret the owner of the luxury class.

It's incredible the Mercedes rentals that are available in Miami. These are the best cars you can find with all of the luxury features. I prefer to go with a company like Diamond Exotic Rentals or other highly qualified car rental service.
