NEWSLETTER Issue: 24
| December 2010 | |
We're adding heaps of new cars to the fleet this month, just in time for Xmas!
We also introduce a new car model, announce our new much anticipated baby friendly policy, let you know how you can "buy" someone a car for Xmas, and we have some late deliveries for December that you can take for a whole month!
|
Introducing the i30 Hatchback
| |  We have had some fantastic feedback from members regarding our recently introduced i30 Wagons.
Now we're adding the just as cool i30 5-door Hatchback!
It's perfect for inner city driving, it's easy to park, it has the maximum ANCAP 5-star safety rating and fantastic fuel economy.
We'll be adding 40 of these this month alone. We'll let you know as they become available in pods near you.

Book a car for a month for Xmas
| | |
Due to some unexpected manoeuvres a few of our cars have been delivered late from Asia!
So we have a limited number of cars available for members to book for a full month long booking from Xmas, for only $1350 (petrol not included).
Bookings must begin between the 17th and 23rd of December.
Please note:
- Numbers are limited, so first in best dressed, and
- the booking will appear on your December Activity Statement.
If you're interested, email us. Be sure to include:
- Your name
- Member number
- Dates of your booking

Buy someone a car this Xmas... for only $49!
| |  Do you know someone who needs wheels from time to time?
Buy them a Xmas GoStarter pack and we'll send you a GoGet pack wrapped and ready to put under the tree!
The Xmas GoStarter pack - including $50 free driving credit - means your lucky loved one won't pay any application fees, membership fees or a deposit.
So for only $49, you'll be giving them a gift worth $99!
And you're not just buying them a car - anyone can do that - you're buying them access to hundreds of cars across three cities!
To purchase a GoGet Xmas gift email us or call us on 1300 769 389.

GoGet for little kids
| |  Due to member demand, we recently announced that we would be adding child seats to some of our i30 wagons.
The child seats are on their way!
From your feedback, we found that the most painful time for carrying child seats back and forth to cars was when bub is 0 to around 4 years old.
So we're installing "Mother's Choice" convertible car seats, suitable for newborns to children weighing 18kgs.
We'll let you know as they start arriving in cars in your neighbourhood over next couple of weeks.
The seats are provided by GoGet as a courtesy. Fitting and use is your responsibility.
We're using your feedback to work out which pods to put our baby friendly cars.
Please note: If you book a baby friendly car and don't need a child seat, but need all of the car's storage capacity - say you're going away for a weekend with friends - you may take the seat out and leave it at home during your booking.
Then you'll need to place the child seat back in the car, before returning the car to its pod at the end of your booking.
You'll be able to tell if an i30 Wagon is baby friendly, by clicking on the name of the car in the booking system and seeing this icon:

GoGet members give Santa serious competition
|
|
The end of 2010 is a great time to celebrate all those GoGet members who have established new businesses. In fact to celebrate the introduction of child-seats into GoGet cars we're profiling three GoGet businesses that have gifts for children this Christmas.
Rikke Bukh (above) runs Scandanvian Design and used to live in Copenhagen. In fact when she lived in Cophenhagen she actually owned a car but has gone car-free in the move to Sydney. You can find Rikke's business at www.onlythebeginning.com.au - Only the Beginning - Scandinavian Designer Wear for Kids
Also congratulations to member Aymeric Maroudas who held Sydney's first Eco Baby Expo and will be going live with an online baby products business this month at www.bonjourbaby.com.au. Aymeric moved to Australia from France and whilst he owned a car in France he has also gone car-free since living in Sydney.
Last but not least, is Vinyl Design - born from an idea by two Italian architects. In essence, take the type of vinyl stickers that GoGet applies to its cars and start applying them around your home, office, restaurant, in fact, anywhere. Pictured below are one of the designs for Xmas. Visit co-owner Julia Fantini's business online at Vinyl Designs - www.vinyldesigns.com.au.

Tip of the month - GoGet card
| |
 GoGet smartcard - Not only shouldn't you "leave home without it"... you shouldn't leave your car without it! All of our cars have a security feature that automatically locks the doors if they have been left without being tagged off for an extended period of time. So if you leave your card in the car, you could be locked out and will need to call us for help. So remember, never leave your car without it! |
Movember Winner
| |  Thanks to everyone who submitted Movember photos.
It was a close run thing - and the judges will never be the same again - but the winner is long time GoGet member, Mitch from Lewisham!
He won by a whisker - a very impressive whisker...
We have donated $500 to the Movember Foundation on Mitch's behalf.
