More Melbourne pods!

 We hope one day - in the not too distant future - GoGet cars will be as common a sight on Melbourne streets as trams are.
By the end of this month we'll be adding a bunch of new cars into new pods in Brunswick and more cars in the Melbourne CBD.
We'd love your help in getting the word out in Melbourne...

Some of our Yarises are bluetooth enabled meaning you can now use your mobile phone handsfree. Especially handy for those long trips!
All you need to do is enable bluetooth on your phone and press the "small green telephone" button on the radio console of the car.
Only our newest model Yarises are bluetooth enabled, and to find one on our booking system, just look out for the bluetooth icon.

 Congratulations to Alex from Elizabeth Bay!
