GoCar expands fleet with Ford

GoCar, the new car sharing scheme, has expanded its fleet to include several new 2011 Ford models for its growing Dublin customer base.

Cars on offer include Ford's Fiesta and Focus models as well as Ford Transit vans.

GoCar (think Dublin Bikes but with cars!), has also expanded its number of dedicated parking spaces in Dublin with the opening of two spaces on South Lotts Road, close to the busy south city business sector of Grand Canal Dock.

This means GoCar are now able to provide their car-sharing service to a wider number of customers in Ringsend and surrounding south city areas. The service can provide a car at €4.75 per hour.

A car can be reserved online, and the customer just turns up and drives it away.

Other dedicated parking spaces are at Pleasants Street, Dublin 2; Ranelagh and Rathmines, Dublin 6; and Smithfield, Dublin 7. GoCar plan to have 15 city-wide locations by the end of this year.

Pictured above are a Dutch, an American and a Belgian customer with GoCar Managing Director Marc Rafferty at the site of the new dedicated parking spaces on South Lotts Road.

Full details of the service and a short video on how it works, as well as information on how to sign up are available at www.gocar.ie
