HOURCAR and Evie

09/03/2026

HOURCAR & Evie carshare is an awesome program for students, staff, and faculty attending and working at our incredible local colleges and universities. We are visiting campuses all over the place for the next few weeks!
Come say hello at the U of MN Sustainability Action Fair this Friday, 11:30-3:30, to learn more about why our non-profit carshare program is a great, affordable, and convenient option for you (including free parking at the meters!).
Meanwhile, across the river, we will also be posted up at Macalester College, talking to first years about getting around the Twin Cities. Macalester College and surrounding neighborhood is a very active carshare location, a great place to launch your new car-free lifestyle.

Hey Eastsiders- Making sure you know that there is an HOURCAR hub and vehicle on lower Payne Ave, and it's ridonkulously cute.
Anyone can become a member of HOURCAR with a (reasonably) clean drivers license by visiting hourcar.org or downloading the Hourcar Evie app. Approval takes about two days, and then you can use your cell phone to access all 300 of our fleet vehicles-- especially this light blue cutie-patootie by Kendalls.
Note: This hub is in the "watch list" for being under utilized - so check it out and show it some love and attention so we know it's wanted.

There's a cute little HOURCAR hub tucked away at 'Little Mod,' a newish modular apartment building off Stewart and Otto Streets, near the West 7th Mississippi Market. This hub is easy to find on your app, but a little less obvious in person. Feel free to use the building's walkway from the street to the back, where these two cars await in a parking lot in the alley. Book them in advance for as few as 30 minutes and up to three days!

ICYMI: When you use HOURCAR and Evie carshare, the cost of insurance, maintenance, and FUEL is included in your per-minute rate. Our Standard Plan has a no-commitment $7* monthly fee which provides members 30¢ per minute (about $14.27 per hour) when you drive. Most of our fleet is EV (electric), so you're not just saving on gas, you're also saving the environment.

Oil prices could have been even higher, but, for now, investors expect Iran and the U.S. to come back to the negotiating table.
