GoCar, Ireland’s leading vehicle sharing service, has announced an investment of €10 million in the expansion and enhancement of its current vehicle sharing services across Ireland. The investment is part of GoCar’s commitment to provide sustainable and convenient mobility solutions to meet growing customer demand for alternative transport options to private vehicle ownership.

The €10 million investment will support increased vehicle availability and wider vehicle choices for customers throughout the country. A total of 280 new vehicles will be added across 149 locations, catering to both urban and rural communities. 

GoCar’s fleet has seen a rise from 820 vehicles in January 2023 to 930 vehicles in July 2023, with the current investment supporting further increase to more than 1100 vehicles in over 600 locations across 24 counties nationwide by the end of the year.

GoCar will also be launching a new website and app designed to provide a more innovative and intuitive customer experience. Additionally, a new loyalty programme will be introduced, rewarding repeat customers for their continued use of car sharing services, with the launch planned for late 2023.

In response to the evolving preferences of its users, GoCar is introducing a variety of new vehicle types to its fleet. These new additions include the 'GoLocal' - a smaller city vehicle perfect for short urban trips, and the 'GoExplore Plus', a spacious SUV catering to families and longer journeys.

GoCar aims to address the growing demand for electric vehicles in 2024 by collaborating with strategic partners to bolster the expansion of its ‘GoElectric’ range, providing environmentally conscious customers with sustainable transportation choices.
