Granville Island isn’t just for tourists. While a favourite for many visiting from out of town, Granville Island is home to some of the best foods and unique shops that locals can enjoy. We got to test out the newest car share in the city, , for a weekend, and put this local spot on our to-do list. Picking up the car just a couple blocks away from home, we put our destination into the navigator and was given the best route. I always take transit to Granville Island because I know it is a parking nightmare, but I didn’t have to this time.

Evo has made local adventures a lot more possible with its easy to use pick-up and drop-off service and with Evo dedicated spots all over Vancouver. The fact that it fits five people isn’t so bad either! Usually our number one deterrent of driving anywhere in the city is the hassle of finding parking, but Evo has spots in convenient locations. Plus, we can feel a lot less guilty driving locally when our carbon footprint is so tiny thanks to their fleet of Prius Hybrids.
