Public transportation and on-demand, for-hire cars: they’re wonderful until suddenly…they’re not. Remember that driver who was ten minutes late and tried to go the wrong way down a one-way street? Or how about all the Metro stations that are helpfully on the brink of disruption? (Say hello to station shutdowns and goodbye to late night service.) Sometimes a little more control in how you get from here to there is a small luxury you didn’t know you needed. And with an upcoming holiday weekend full of barbecues, trips to the grocery store for said barbecue provisions, and warm-weather sojourns (which you definitely deserve) trust us when we say there’s a better way to get around.

If you think we’re going to say “just buy a car already,” sorry to disappoint, but the age-old phrase “sharing is caring” (or sharing is just plain better) applies. Why own a car when you can just borrow one when the mood strikes? Good news: with car2go, it’s easier than ever to join the car-sharing revolution.

The premise is simple: a car when you want it, where you want it, for as long as you want it, activated by the tap of a button. No parking fees, no need to plan ahead, and no headaches. That’s what car2go members enjoy every day. And in just in time for the long weekend, so can you! Register with the promo code C2G15 through June 19th, and you’ll receive free registration (regularly $35) and 15 minutes of free drive time! (Because we all know you’re not about to carry those hamburger patties and a mountain of corn onto the Metro—and surge pricing is The Worst.)

Now with cross-jurisdictional access between D.C. and Arlington, car2go is a no-brainer. Plus, all members will enjoy reduced $10 hourly pricing through Memorial Day weekend. It’s basically a car-by-the-minute, hour or day—so a quick trip is cheaper than a sandwich. What more could you want?

To learn more and register (for free!), check out car2go’s website and enter the promo code C2G15 through June 19th. Happy trails!
