How Does GoGet Work?

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.

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.
