Open Roof Festival

For the second year running, AutoShare is happy to partner with Open Roof Festival , which has expanded its run to 12 Thursday nights from June 16, 2011 to September 1, 2011. This not-for-profit, outdoor music and film series at the Amsterdam Brewery is a guaranteed good time.

What better match than to bring Bike Valet to the event every Thursday night throughout the summer. Bike Valet is a free service offering safe, secure, attended bicycle parking at festivals and events across Toronto. AutoShare is proud to be the 2011 Lead Sponsor.

Experience Montreal - Courtesy of VIA Rail

Win 2 Business Class tickets and 2 nights accomodations in Montreal courtesy of our friends at VIA Rail.

Montreal is one of Canada's most vibrant cities. From poutine and bagels, to Leonard Cohen and Jazz Fest, Montreal has produced some of the best sounds and bites nationwide. We're excited to reward one of our members with a fabulous weekend getaway (valued at $1,600). Some restrictions apply.

The challenge is fun! We're asking "Foodies" to upload and send us either a recipe, or story from a restaurant experience, of the best Quebecois food ever had - please include pictures. Or if music is more your thing, we're asking "Musicians" to send us original song lyrics about Montreal. Everybody should also include a quick line on what you would do if you won this trip for two!

Post your entries (or videos) via our Facebook Page or email us, the winner's work will be included in next month's Newsletter - and remember, one per person so make it your best!

Art On The Move!

AutoShare is proud to support Art on the Move for the second year in a row. Art on the Move (AOTM) is a 3-year community arts initiative developed by Arts Etobicoke and Lakeshore Arts. This initiative focuses on wrapping vehicles in art instead of advertising, bringing art directly to communities by increasing the accessibility, appreciation and support of the arts. The AOTM fleet captivates and enlivens city dwellers throughout Toronto, contributing to the beautification of the city.

We were excited by the artwork presented to us by the Stonegate Community youth. These amazing artists under the direction of Sandra Tarantino, made the Cube located at the Polish Credit Union on Roncesvalles even cooler!

To check out this car and meet some of our new wheels, check out our Fleet page.

Tweet your ride! We've Got a Car for Every Occasion

We have new vehicles arriving weekly including the Mazda3 Hatch, Hyundai Elantra, & additional Fiat 500's - members seem to love them. Visit our Locations and Fleet Page to check out our new lots including the Eglinton West & Keele TTC, and the Infinity condo location, which is located at Bremner and Lower Simcoe.

Stay connected on Twitter, if you're a new follower let us know!

3.5¢ Gas Surcharge due to higher gas prices

Gas prices in May averaged $1.31/litre (our base rate is 95¢). All driving in May will be billed with a 3.5¢ gas surcharge per km. We continue to believe that a "floating gas price" is the best and fairest way to deliver our service.
