Why Carshare is great for the Environment.


Reduce your carbon footprint with GoGet and share the benefits of fewer cars on the road!

Less traffic, Big impact.

It's simple – with car sharing, you're not just sharing cars, you're reducing your carbon footprint.

With GoGet

Without GoGet

By sharing vehicles, we decrease the overall number of cars on the road, minimising traffic congestion and cutting down harmful emissions. Each GoGet takes 10+ vehicles off the road - Fewer cars = lower emissions, it’s simple.

Say goodbye to the environmental impact of manufacturing new cars, as our shared fleet ensures optimal utilisation. Choose from our fuel-efficient, hybrid, and electric vehicle options, leading the charge toward cleaner, greener cities.

What makes carshare your sustainable transport choice.

Car Share

We free up parking

One GoGet vehicle in a carshare dedicated space replaces 10 privately owned vehicles, as the same vehicle serves many people: this frees up 9 vehicles worth of street space for the local community.

Safer, more fuel-efficient cars

GoGet vehicles are newer than the average Aussie car and tend to be safer and more environmentally friendly. The average GoGet car is under 5 years old.

Carshare members drive less

Carshare members drive less after joining. The cost-per-trip model encourages them to choose the most suitable solution for each trip, leading to more walking, cycling, and public transport use.

Car Ownership

Cars are parked most of the time

Australian cars sit idle most of the time. The average car is driven just 1.5 hours per day, clogging up parking when it’s not in use.

Older, less-efficient cars

The average Australian car is over 10 years old. Older cars tend to be less fuel-efficient and emit more pollutants than newer models and are missing modern safety features.

The “Free Trip” mentality

Car owners will pay hefty fixed costs to own a car, making them more likely to use it more, even when they don’t need to. Carsharing encourages the mindful use of cars by highlighting the cost per trip and promoting alternative options.

Cost Comparison: GoGet vs Car Ownership

The Numbers Are In!

GeGoGet is cheaper than car ownership if you drive less than 13,000km per year or 250km per week*.

Who says you can't have your cake and eat it too? With GoGet carshare, enjoy all the perks of car ownership - minus the cost and hassle. It's like having your own car, without the commitment or crumbs!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Reduced Vehicles and Emissions: by providing access to vehicles only when needed, carsharing reduces the overall number of cars on the road. This means reduced emissions in manufacturing vehicles. It also means less traffic congestion.

    Fuel-Efficient Fleets: Carsharing companies typically maintain newer vehicles with better fuel efficiency than the average car on the road. Additionally, many offer hybrid and electric car options, further reducing the environmental footprint of each trip.

    Focus on Smaller Cars: The majority of the GoGet Carshare fleet consists of small, fuel-efficient hatchbacks. This stands in contrast to the rising popularity of SUVs in Australia. Car owners tend to purchase vehicles covering their maximum use case, where most trips could be taken in smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles.

    In essence, carsharing encourages a shift towards a more sustainable transportation model, with fewer cars, cleaner vehicles, and a reduced overall environmental footprint.

  • Carsharing benefits the environment in a few ways:

    • Reduces greenhouse gas emissions from fewer cars on the road.

    • Lowers demand for parking spaces, which can be converted into green spaces.

    • Lessens reliance on personal car ownership, which reduces production and disposal impacts.

  • Carsharing offers more flexibility and convenience than public transport, particularly for first-mile/last-mile connections or trips outside regular routes. Public transport excels for frequent trips within well-serviced areas. Ideally, combine both public transport and carshare for a sustainable and efficient transport mix.

  • Absolutely! By choosing to carshare, you're contributing to a larger movement towards sustainable transportation. Every car shared is one less personal vehicle on the road, leading to a collective positive impact.

  • GoGet Carshare cuts emissions by reducing the total number of private cars needed. Fewer cars means less manufacturing pollution and traffic congestion, which leads to lower overall fuel consumption. GoGet also maintain a fuel-efficient fleet and encourage users to choose the right car for the job, all helping to minimise environmental impact.

  • Carsharing is already great for the environment and all of our vehicles, be they petrol, hybrid or EVs, reduce CO2 emissions. We have a number of Toyota Corolla Hybrids in our fleet and have a few EVs that we operate in partnership with developers.

  • Carsharing reduces traffic congestion, frees up parking spaces for other uses, and promotes a more walkable and bikeable environment. This makes cities more livable and helps create a more sustainable urban landscape.

  • You only pay for the time you use a GoGet car, eliminating the ongoing costs of car ownership like insurance, registration, maintenance, and parking as well as the cost of time wasted maintaining the vehicle. This can lead to significant savings while still providing access to a car when needed.
