Guelph Community Car Co-operative
Doing our part to clean up the air! The Guelph Community Car Co-operative, a non-profit co-operative corporation, has been formed to purchase cars on behalf of its members. These cars will be available to members and screened non-members on a reserved pay per hour and kilometer basis. The Co-op will maintain the vehicles, insure them, keep them gassed and manage the reservation and billing systems.
Being a member of a car share means:
* fewer cars on the road
* use of a late model, lower emissions car
* better personal choices about transportation
We are a non-profit co-operative created for people who need access to a car but don’t want the expense and hassle of ownership.
We are looking for anyone over the age of 25, with a clean driving record for at least three years.
Members invest in the co-op by contributing a share of $ 500 in cash, or through a pay as you go option. After we confirm that their driving record is clear for the past 3 years, a car can be reserved for an hourly and per kilometre fee. Pay as you go members pay a higher per hour charge, which is credited to their share account, and a small financing charge. Members are billed monthly for their usage, and the co-op looks after everything else.
