GoCar Ireland

About this app

GoCar is Ireland’s #1 Car Sharing company and is part of the Europcar Mobility Group, providing members with access to cars and vans all across Ireland. From rental as short as 1 hour GoCar is the ideal alternative to owning a car, or equally ideal for the SME to save on leasing vehicles.

Ratings and reviews

The service in itself is great. But while on desktop searching for available car is easy as it shows a timeline graph for their availability, there's no such thing on the app. This forces the user to enter a desired time frame and hope that an available slot will appear, in a mindless trial and error exercise. This is especially grating in Cork, where only a handful of cars are available.

App would not work leaving me to have to try again later. Only to find out, later, I would need to return to the van to place keys elsewhere or face fines. I am fine with the logic of this, but the app working when needed would result in me being able to do this then and there and not have to return to the van wasting an hour. Also, keys were left exactly where I found them. I am certain the previous driver left them there and no doubt probably paid a fine. But for me, they were left where found

Finding vehicle availability is largely guess work. It would be easier to see when is actually available and choose from there. Additional fuel surcharge doesn't seem to have been removed despite fuel prices moderating. Vehicles are rarely, if ever, clean inside or outside.

What’s new

Fixed an issue where, under certain conditions, the proximity check for the trip-start sequence didn't allow starting of the trip despite correct position of a user close to the vehicle.
