Free Coffee at Farley's in Potrero Hill
We're very happy about our newest location at
Mariposa and Carolina in Potrero
Hill, SF. So happy, in fact, that we're offering
free coffee to existing
members and to those who sign up at Farley's cafe
from 2 - 7 PM tomorrow, January
17th. Don't want to go alone? Bring a
friend to Farley's and if they sign up for City
CarShare, you'll both get a $40 driving credit to
share, as well as free coffee for both of you. That
should make you perk up, too.
Farley's is a great cafe that we're proud to support.
Farley's has been around since 1989 and, like City
CarShare, believes in strong ties to the community.
They provide quality coffee and tea in a comfortable
environment where people can connect, enjoy art and
admire quirky collections of special items lent by
members of the community. Join us!

Driving Tip: How to Avoid Unwarranted Fees
We rely on each of you to help keep the inside of our cars clean
and we appreciate you letting us know when you find
a car that isn't. If the car you reserved is
dirty, please report it so we can get the car
cleaned and make sure you aren't charged the
cleaning fee. If you don't report it and the next
member using that car does, then your account might
be charged a fee. To report a dirty car or a car
with less than half a tank of gas, call our office
at 415-995-8588. If you call after hours, leave a
message. We need the date, time, VIN#, and type of
problem. You can also email us
with the same information instead of calling. Thanks for
helping us to keep a tidy fleet!

Thanks for the Shout Out
At City CarShare, we are proud of our amazing
members. Overall, you return cars on time, keep the
gas tank more than half full, leave the cars tidy, and
use the reusable shopping bags provided in our cars
(you're even returning them for others to share!).
This month we are highlighting our appreciation of
those who have taken the time to post reviews of City
CarShare on
Yelp,
Tribe, Google and Yahoo maps, as well as
mentioning us in blogs (with links!), and social
networking sites.
Your reviews are not only helpful
in providing us feedback, but they also help others
understand what a community-based car sharing
organization is all about. We are here to make the
Bay Area a better place to live and to make sure you
get the highest quality service and best value
possible. So, tell the world about our industry-best
insurance ($1 million per incident), our low rates
and our responsive customer service. While you're
at it, let them know you helped save 15 million
pounds of CO2 emissions and a million gallons of
gasoline last year alone! By simply mentioning
you are a City CarShare member in your profile you
boost our credibility. Bloggers who post stories and
videos about City CarShare are great endorsers as
well. Don't forget to send us a link.
Thanks for
all the fun shout outs and please keep Sharing the
Love!

Keep your Card Fresh
Credit and debit cards have a short shelf life. Believe
us, we know. Dozens of our members' cards expire each
and every month. Please take a moment to check your
card on file. It's easy: On your next bill, review the
expiration date and last four digits of your
credit/debit card. If it has expired or you have
received a new card, please call us at 415-995-8588 to update your
account. We've even provided a sample bill detail above
so you can find the card information on your own bill.
(Remember: Never send credit or debit
card details through email!)
Keeping your payment information current will ensure
that you do not incur any declined card charges and can
keep your account from being suspended.

We've got Trucks for Big Errands
Over the past year, we've replaced many of our Tacoma
pickup trucks with new ones. In fact, by the end of
February, all of them will be less than 6 months old.
As we've expanded into new neighborhoods, we've also
opened new pods with trucks. Now we have four Tacomas in
the East Bay and five in SF. So if you need to haul a
lot of big, bulky stuff, don't forget that we can meet
your needs (sometimes the Honda Element is just the
thing as well).
Here's a list of locations with Tacoma Trucks. You can
also go to our standard website map, and click on
"trucks" to show... well, to just show trucks!
- Berkeley/Downtown: Berkeley Way & Shattuck
- Berkeley/South Berkeley: Shattuck & Adeline (UC Storage)
- Oakland/Old Oakland: 8th & Broadway
- Oakland/Rockridge: Oak Grove & College
- San Francisco/Bernal Heights: Mission & Cesar Chavez
- San Francisco/Civic Center/Hayes Valley: Performing Arts
- San Francisco/Mission: New Mission Bartlett (21st & Bartlett)
- San Francisco/Richmond: 8th & Clement
- San Francisco/SOMA: 5th & Mission
