Though not perfect, Gig offers a fairly priced and convenient service with an abundance of cars available within its Home Zone. (200+, I think.) It's a great alternative to Uber and Lyft in many circumstances and has already made my family's choice to own just a single car easier in those rare circumstances where we could really use a second vehicle. A couple hiccups I've hit so far have been one phantom car (on the map, but not on the street) and a couple inexplicable parking charges. But nothing I think Gig won't be able to fix.

Update: I eventually found an email to get help, and then got on the phone too when I had more time. Customer support was nice though they said what I felt was a problem (blue field making street details hard to see) was actually a feature (showing the Home Zone). I suggested they make the blue field a bit more translucent, and lo and behold! - the new update has done just that. Now I can see the streets AND the Home Zone is clear. Thanks for listening! Stars upped. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The service is very easy to use and the cars are zippy and clean and super-convenient. The mobile app, however, keeps giving me maps with all-blue-fields so they’re really hard to see. It’s obviously a bug but there’s no way to report it from the app. The only customer support is a phone call option for driving/car issues. Which is why I’m mentioning it here.

Gig carshare is incredibly easy and geared towards good customer service. The car itself was very easy to access and begin to use, and it was quite clean and perfect for what I needed it. The bike racks were a huge plus! The company is also very customer-oriented as seen in their helpful and ready-to-act customer service team and customer-focused pricing structure. I would definitely recommend using this particular carshare service for anyone who lives in the bay area.
