GoCar (carsharing)

GoCar is the first Carsharing service in Ireland. It launched in Cork City in September 2008, with the support of Cork City Council as a pilot scheme.[1][2]

It expanded to Dublin in September 2010, and is now in 10 locations in Dublin.

Ireland's National Spatial Strategy has noted CarSharing as one element of the strategy.[1]

GoCar has teamed up with Cambio CarSharing to provide the service. Cambio are one of Europe's largest Carsharing providers currently based in Germany and Belgium.[3]
