Dublin City Council’s new bye-laws regulating the operation of on-street car clubs came into effect this week with the first official on-street Car Club licence going to the guys at GoCar.
GoCar consumers can now hire one of 50 GoCar vehicles by the hour from 31 pay-and-display locations in the capital. All locations are highly visible and convenient and include Barrow St, Stoneybatter, Arran Quay, the Docklands, Drumcondra, Rathgar, IFSC, Clontarf and Donnybrook. You can find more locations in both Dublin and Cork by clicking here.
Members using on-street GoCars won’t be charged for parking at any of Dublin’s 30,000 pay-and-display parking spaces when using a GoCar, as this is covered by the permit fee GoCar pays to the council. So you can expect to see a lot more clampers twiddling their thumbs.
Colm Brady, Managing Director, GoCar, commented, “This is a big turning point for GoCar, drivers in Dublin who sign up to GoCar will have convenient and affordable access to vehicles right across the city.
“Over time GoCar should reduce the number of vehicles commuting into the city centre so it is a clean, convenient and innovative travel solution for those living and working in Dublin. From today you will see 50 gleaming white vehicles with the green GoCar insignia parked around the city.”
