Car sharing has fast embedded itself in local communities around the country especially but not limited to urban areas. Car sharing schemes aim to reduce car ownership, eliminate the cost of owning, insuring and maintaining a car annually. In some scenarios it has even reduced the requirement in some households to own a second car which realistically is seldom driven.
Driveyou Ltd entered the mobility market back in April this year, launching in Dublin, Cork Galway and Limerick.
