Another car-sharing service has been launched, this time in Nanaimo, B.C. The company, created by BCAA (which belongs to the Canadian Automobile Association), is Evo Car Share; its new Evo Return is a round-trip car share service at the Nanaimo Hullo ferry terminal.
The company is targeting consumers heading to Vancouver Island, offering them the ability to use the Evo app to reserve an Evo Return up to 30 days prior to a trip. This is to guarantee an Evo at the Nanaimo Hullo terminal when they arrive. Two Evo Returns are already on-site and bookable, though there is a potential to add more.
“We’re always looking for new ways for Evo to help people get around easier and open up the possibility of new adventures,” said Amitis Khorsandi, Director of Evo Car Share, in a statement. “Hullo is a fast and super convenient way to get from downtown Vancouver to Nanaimo (…).” (An Evolve E-Bike Share service is also available for Hullo passengers to get around Nanaimo.)
Alastair Caddick, CEO of Hullo, said the company is thrilled to partner with Evo and introduce their car share service to passengers visiting the Island. “It’s another positive step towards our goal of creating better connectivity and transportation options for people traveling between Vancouver and Nanaimo,” said Caddick in a statement.
He added that Evo has also just relaunched its Evo Extras program, where members earn points on every trip to redeem for free drive time.
