If you would like the use of a car occasionally but are reluctant to bear the expense and occasional inconveniences of owning one, the newly formed Dublin Co-op Car Club wants you as a member.
Co-op members can ring a local number (661-4412) to book the use of a car and are billed monthly according to its usage (mileage and time).
Petrol, insurance, maintenance, tax etc are covered by the scheme.
The cars are based at Sandymount DART station and more will be added as the scheme grows.

The co-op said that such car-sharing programmes were very successful in the United States and Europe.
"Research has shown that each car-sharing car on the road represents a reduction of four private cars, with corresponding reductions in emissions and congestion."
