Carpooling in Ireland: how to use it

The good Irish carpooling sites

Ireland is rather sensitive to the preservation of the environment, and is increasingly interested in limiting the spread of greenhouse gases. This is why you will easily find many carpooling meeting points in Ireland.

The best way to find a carpooler is to visit www.carpoolworld.com. Rather similar to Blablacar, it will allow you to register, and to directly contact drivers wishing to share their car during the journey. The rates are then to be defined directly with them, and are adjustable on the site itself to avoid any dispute.

Generally speaking, prices are accessible and cheaper than by train or bus. Moreover, it is a great way to meet Irish people, and to exchange with them in all sympathy!
