While in 2010, I almost always found a car2go within a convenient walk of my house, now, I almost always cannot find a car within 1/2 mile of my house, and they all seem to have migrated to the outer edges of the user area.

I registered for free, but I hear that the registration fee may now be $35.00, one-time.
