Blink Mobility is a 100% electric car sharing service and part of the City of Los Angeles’s mobility solutions. Blink Mobility is available to anyone over 18 years of age with a valid driver’s license. Members have access to a network of shared electric vehicles 24-hours a day, 7 days a week, at self-service locations throughout central Los Angeles.
Car sharing is a smarter, greener transportation option that can help you forgo the need for your own car.
Interested in car sharing? Below are a few tips on the etiquette of car sharing to make each driver’s use the best experience possible.
Return the car to where it belongs.
Blink Mobility has a lot of flexibility in the car-return process. Drivers can return the car to the nearest location any time of day or night, not only to the site from which they borrowed the car. However, the car must be returned to a Blink Mobility station when the rental is over for the next driver to use.
Recharge the vehicle.
While most companies require re-charging if the battery is at or below 25%, doing so is the polite choice regardless of the charge level. Avoid additional costs and fees by not leaving an uncharged vehicle for the next user.
Keep the car clean.
Please don’t leave cans, wrappers, boxes, or any trash in the vehicle after use. Wait to eat or smoke until service stops to avoid making the car messy for everyone else. Imagine if someone borrowed a car from you and left a mess behind! Please remember to take all your belongings with you.
Make a note of any damage.
Driver, look around the car and note any inside or outside damage using the Blink Mobility App. This will allow Blink Mobility to know what needs to be repaired and make sure you don’t get penalized for damages you did not cause. If an accident or damage occurred while you were using the car, please contact Blink Mobility customer support as soon as it is safe to do so.
Avoid overuse of air conditioning, heat, and electronics.
Electric vehicles run on batteries, and responsible driving practices, such as conserving battery life, are essential. The more air, heat, and electronics are over-used, the less fuel you will have for the vehicle. Please maintain reasonable use of amenities.
Take advantage of a Blink package
Some car sharing companies, including Blink, offer package deals to save drivers money. Try the 3-Hour City Sprint, perfect for various types of rides such as running errands, visiting friends, or dropping by your favorite museum. Another choice is the 5-Hour Break Away, great for going to the beach, moving across town, or a full day shopping. Blink’s packages save you 45% on regular rates.
