If they were to get into a serious accident, it wouldn't cover much," she says. For extra coverage when using car2go, McDougall recommends looking into the possibility of adding standard endorsement form 27 (SEF 27) to your main auto policy. For around $30 per year, this extends your existing coverage to any vehicle that you don't own, such as a rental car, and may cover shared cars, depending on the insurer. AMA's SEF 27 does cover car2go. "Definitely, talk to your insurance company about getting the right coverage," says McDougall. "And if you don't have your own vehicle, you may be bet- ter off renting a vehicle from a company that offers more liability coverage." In spite of this, car2go seems to be a viable option for Calgarians on the move. Many drivers, like Magusiak and Mark, say it fills a gap where public transportation and taxi services fall short. Plus, if Calgari- ans continue to embrace car sharing at the phenomenal rate of the last two years, 30-minute waits for downtown taxis could be a thing of the past.
