What About Cost?
The BAWTmobiles will – unlike our outdoor gear - come to you with some basic costs. However, BAWT and City CarShare have worked hard to make this program affordable to youth agencies. We’ve waived almost all the start up and annual fees and lowered the daily/hourly cost as well! As with all City CarShare vehicles, gas, insurance, and maintenance are always included! So you never pay for gas!
| BAWTmobile Program Registration | |
| Application | $30 one-time fee |
| Annual Standard Fee | Fee waived first year, $50/year fee thereafter |
| Monthly Fee | None |
| Deposit | Waived pending any accidents or non-payment; may be applied by CCS at any time |

The cost of using the vans will depend on how far and for how long you drive them, but this is where you really see the savings! The best way to get a sense of cost overall is to see some sample trips:
| Sample BAWTmobile Trips - Including Gas! | |||
| Destination | # Miles Round Trip | # of Days | Total Cost |
| Local shopping or gear pick-up | 15 | 4 hours | $26.00 |
| Point Reyes | 78 | 2 | $91.20 |
| Point Reyes | 78 | 3 | $127.80 |
| The Headlands | 21 | 2 | $82.10 |
| The Headlands | 21 | 3 | $122.10 |
| Yosemite | 378 | 2 | $117.80 |
| Yosemite | 378 | 3 | $157.80 |
| Desolation Wilderness, Tahoe | 354 | 2 | $115.40 |
| Desolation Wilderness, Tahoe | 354 | 3 | $155.40 |
| Desolation Wilderness, Tahoe | 354 | 4 | $205.40 |
| Big Basin | 143 | 2 | $94.30 |
| Big Basin | 143 | 3 | $134.30 |
This reduced pricing plan means that CCS/BAWT program participants pay a discounted price for the minivans. Other CCS members pay $7/hour for the minivans while CCS/BAWT members pay $5/hour. Plus, CCS/BAWT members can take the BAWTmobiles for more than 3 days, while all other CCS members have a 3-day trip limit on all vehicles. And remember, these prices also include the cost of insurance and most importantly (at $3/gallon) GAS!
There’s one thing we’re sure about regarding cost - it’ll make more sense for you to share the BAWTmobiles than to rent a vehicle from a rental car agency. Click here for a downloadable MS Excel calculator to find out how much your trip will cost.
