Why You Need a Gig Card
Gig is an app-enabled service that uses Bluetooth and cell service to give Members access to our cars. If you wander far from cell service or if your phone dies, this can be problematic. Fortunately, we have a great tool that can help – our RFID-enabled Gig Card. With a Gig Card, you have another backup to assist locking and unlocking your car when your phone, Bluetooth, or cell service aren't available.
Get $10 in Gig Credits*
We recommend all Gig Members have a Gig Card, and it only works if it is activated and connected to your account before you need it. So, we've created an offer to sweeten the deal! We’ll give $10 in Gig Credits when you call Member Support to activate your first Gig Card.*
How it Works
To reserve and unlock your Gig car, tap or hold your Gig Card over the windshield card reader; the light should turn from green to orange indicating your reservation has commenced.
To end your reservation, tap or hold your Gig Card over the reader; the car will lock and the lights will cycle through blue to green, indicating your trip and use of the Gig car is complete.
So, grab a Gig card to make Gig trips easier, especially when you:
✔️ Find that perfect out-of-the way hiking spot.
✔️ Take your Multi-day Rental on an adventure.
✔️ Put your bike on the rack and go hit the trails.
✔️ Park in underground parking spots.
Order in the App
Once you've taken your first trip, it’s easy to order a Gig Card through the app — just tap “Gig Card” in the menu. It usually takes about three business days to receive your card, but can sometimes take up to two weeks.
Order through Member Support
