Should you be in a Car2Go service area that presently sends cars out without racks... my motto in such situations: "better to ask forgiveness than to seek permission...
Apparently racks were one of the more requested "features" in Portland and elsewhere. I can see it really making a difference for those that want to go car free or car lite. There's been many times I've driven to work because I had to pick someone up in the afternoon on the way home.
Even if I plan to take a trip by car because of distance and a tight schedule, it can be a little tricky with car2go. Though you can usually find one close by, it's not always the case. Being able to ride to the car and have the bike with you is a little extra insurance.
