"We joined Community Car then sold our van and second car. With the money we are saving, we're planning a family bike trip across Ireland next summer."

How will you "Live More" with the money you'll save by

"Owning Less?"

You carpool, bus, bike or walk to work but occasionally want a car to get to a meeting or doctor's appointment.
You want a car for going to the grocery store or visiting friends in outlying communities.
You have a growing family and need a second car occasionally. Save significant cash and use Community Car as a second vehicle.
You occasionally want a pick-up truck for composting or hauling materials from Habitat ReStore.
You want to drive a hybrid at a fraction of the cost of owning one.
You want to meet Madisonians with similar interests and be part of a fun, carsharing Community!
