This is incredibly abrupt. They pulled the plug with rentals still active!
What a bummer. I was disappointed when I learned about the merger of the ReachNow / Car2Go parent companies, because I predicted one of them would shut down the other and there would be fewer cars available and less competition.
This seems like a no-warning shutdown for a lot of folks. StreetCrowd (https://www.streetcrowd.io) was a gig economy service that paid people in cash + ReachNow credit to move the cars into high-demand areas in Seattle. Their app had an outage notification today, seems they had no notice. And everyone who received ReachNow credit has no way to use it.

This sucks. ReachNow/Car2Go was one of the big reasons my family was able to drop down from 2 cars to 1.
