There’s no better way to relieve that pent-up winter feeling than to hop in a vehicle and take off.

Unless you’ve got a car, in Brooklyn that would typically mean your options are limited — until ReachNow car share service from BMW debuted last year.

Just download the app on your phone to find an available BMW or MINI nearby, reserve it, and walk to where it’s parked on the street.

Unlock it with your phone — and, for a limited time, registration is free and takes just a few minutes to complete. Plus, now through February 10, drive 24 hours for $79 — that’s almost 30 percent savings from the regular price.

And then try any of these Long Island day trips in style:

1. Castle Tours: Long Island’s North Shore is home to a dozen majestic Jazz Age residences, but Oheka Castle in Cold Spring Harbor is the crown jewel when getting your Gatsby on — 127 rooms, 109,000 square feet, and plenty of garage space for your BMW.

2. Swim With the Fishes: It’s still a few months until you can hit the beach, but in the meantime, get a dose of surf at the Long Island Aquarium in Riverhead, which features a 20,000-gallon coral reef display, sharks and piranha. Tip: Don’t let the penguins valet park the car.

3. Game, Set, Park: Tennis tournament or Judas Priest concert — why not both? At Nassau Coliseum, New York Open tennis tournament goes until until February 18, and Rob Halford and Judas Priest show up on March 17.

Use ReachNow all you want, for as long as you want, insurance and the gas in the tank included, in any way you like —- by the minute, by the hour or by the day.
