"Credit crunch, global financial crisis, recession,
recession, recession!"
Does anyone else feel like crawling under a rock and
waiting until it passes? Well, sadly, for most of us that's not an option. So
why not take off for a few days to somewhere where there are no newspapers, television or an internet
connection?
You could take advantage of our February Special - 4for3.
If you book a car for 4 consecutive days during February
you only pay for 3!
And if you want to
reduce your financial risk during these dire times, remember that you
can change the excess payable if you have a
bingle from $1250 to $300 by paying an extra dollar an hour. (Minimum 5
hours). To reduce your excess just have your membership number and access code handy and click here. |
Fuel Card Update
|
|
Last year we mentioned that Motorpass, our fuel card supplier, and
Caltex were having a little trouble. The situation at the moment is that
Motorpass is being accepted at all Caltex service stations except for jointly
branded Caltex Woolworths service stations.
And congratulations to Philip from Newtown who was the lucky
winner of a brand new iPod Nano. Philip's name was picked out of a hat (actually a bike helmet) containing the names of members who filled up at BP service
stations last month.
We're running the same competition again this month, so if you want to be in with a chance to win your own iPod Nano remember to fill up at BP.

New Cars and Pods
|
|
In partnership with our council partners, over the next few weeks we'll be rolling out new cars into new pods in the following Sydney locations:
- Newtown - Wilson Street, next to Hollis Park
- Newtown - Wilson Street, corner of Forbes Street
And we'll be adding extra cars into the following existing Sydney pods:
- Surry Hills - Crown Street
- Surry Hills - Foveaux Street
And the following pods now have only one car:
- Marrickville - Frampton Avenue Carpark
- Surry Hills - Great Buckingham Street
- Woolloomooloo - Forbes Street
We'll also be adding another Tarago to the fleet.

Itsy bitsy spider...
|
|
Behind each GoGet car there is a team of
dedicated support staff and two spiders. Yep, in fact two black house spiders,
otherwise known as wing mirror spiders.
You may think that all our native
animals have lost out with rapid urbanisation but there are also a few remarkable
winners. Japanese automotive engineers have unwittingly designed the perfect
spider habitat.
Now before you completely freak out, especially those of our
members from the United
Kingdom, we have it on authority that it is
only a black house spider and that it is not in any way dangerous to humans.
Actually,
a clarification, we assume it is a black house spider but nobody at GoGet has
actually seen one. Luckily we could turn to Associate Professor Graham
Nicholson from the Facility of Science at the University
of Technology, Sydney - who has had the patience to stay up
all night with a torch to get a good look.
Not only are they snug, comfy and
dry, they are also very happy. Consider this,
-
They travel over 15,000kms per year and get to sample a wide variety
of local delicacies across our big brown land
-
They have a mirror, a big mirror, which actually comes in handy when
you need to check out how your web is going
- It's probably the last place
most insects would imagine getting jumped as they get away from foliage and
gardens to bed down for the night
