From the austin car2go site:
"car2go provides a simple and fair price structure that allows members to pay for what they use: an extremely attractive standard price of just 35 cents per minute plus tax which includes the costs of fuel1, insurance2, parking, maintenance, and mileage3."
"Base membership coverage includes the following limits: Liability of $100,000 Bodily Injury per person / $300,000 Bodily Injury per accident and $50,000 Physical Damage per accident. Coverage for the car2go vehicle is provided with a deductible of $1000 per occurrence."
