February Wrap-up: Car2Go with all the Werks

🇨🇦 This article was originally published on the Toronto Travel Massive blog

The month of February had us trading in chocolate for some ooey gooey cheese! We chatted road trips and formage with Car2Go, Canada’s newest car-sharing company and Toronto’s favourite cheese experts, Cheesewerks!

On hand from Car2Go, Communications Manager Katie Stafford and Marketing Manager Leah Camenzind shared with us their love for travel with car-sharing. They kicked things off with a tweet-off, awesome prize packs, and giveaways full of Car2Go goodies.

What is Car2Go?

You grab a Big Mac to-go, so why not your car?! Voted Best Carshare in 2011 for its revolutionary idea, Car2Go makes travel easier when you’re on-the-go. No more fuelling up, no more car insurance to buy, no more parking headaches, and finally no more stinkyness of public transit!  You can drive one of these bad boys at a measly .38cents/minute with no reservations and because you don’t have to make a return trip, you’ll never need to bring it back to where you picked it up! Car2Go is also one of the most eco-friendly ways to get around. Their modern minis lead to less fuel consumption and fewer gas emissions. That’s got our vote!

Car2Go

Car2Go started in Ulm, Germany four years ago is now available in 18 major cities including Toronto!

Travel Massive peeps got a chance to register for FREE with Car2Go and receive 30 minutes of FREE drive time in any Car2Go city in Europe or North America!

Then things got real cheesy…

When Toronto Travel Massive heard Cheesewerks wanted to get involved in our February event, we couldn’t resist! We love real Canadian cheese, but we didn’t know cheese connoisseur Kevin Durkee was about to give our palettes a run for their taste buds. As the Founders of this cheese paradise, Kevin and Tom craft a unique culinary experience for anyone that appreciates 100% local artisan cheese from comfort foods like homemade mac n’cheese to grilled cheese and cheese quesadilla. Kevin served up some of his best menu items for us!
