How to Sign Up & Book a GoGet

How Does GoGet Work?

1. Book

Choose a vehicle, location, date, and time that is convenient for you. All GoGet bookings are return trips, so you’ll need to bring the car back to its home pod at the end of your booking.

2. Inspect

When you arrive at the car, check the vehicle for any damage before you start driving. If you find any issues, let us know via the app.

3. Tap on and off

Use your smartcard to lock and unlock the vehicle by holding it over the GoGet reader on the windscreen. Be sure to tap off at the end of your trip to lock the car.

4. Keys

Car keys are attached near the steering wheel. If you can’t find a key your car may have a keyless ignition – just press the "start" button to get going.

5. Fuel

Return your vehicle with at least a 1/4 tank of fuel for the next member. Fuel is on us, so if petrol drops below ¼ during your booking, fill it all the way and pay using the fuel card attached to the car keys.

6. Return

All GoGet bookings are round trips. Follow the app instructions to bring the car back to its designated home pod. Take your belongings and any rubbish with you, leaving the car clean and ready to go for the next member. Don't forget to tap off to lock the vehicle at the end of your booking. -It’s that easy!

Use a car, only when I need it

I don't pay tax, insurance, petrol, tires etc. I only pay for driving the car, when I need it. That's cool. I am happy that the car is waiting for me just in front of my house. So practical.
