With over 200,000 Car2Go members in Vancouver, it’s clear that the city has embraced the service in a way few others have. But now it’s time to let it go.

On Thursday, the company announced that Car2Go is no more, and its fleet of over 1,200 vehicles in Vancouver is about to get a makeover after a merger with BMW’s rival car-share service, DriveNow. The new company is called Share Now, and according to spokesman Tim Krebs, the service’s vehicles will begin to reflect this in short order.

“This will take some time and we don’t have an official timeline of when the branding will change, but you will eventually see the car2go logo disappear from the vehicles and app,” said Krebs.

You’ll also begin to see BMWs available for rental, so now you can finally count yourself among the city’s bad BMW drivers, rather than just swerving to avoid them.

The merger immediately makes Share Now the world’s leading provider of free-floating car share, boasting a global fleet of more than 20,000 BMW, Mercedes-Benz, smart and Mini vehicles in 30 cities across Europe and North America, shared by over four million members.
