Never heard of GoCar before but it could be an option all right. Is it only available in Dublin?
Flights are booked since January and driving from the South of France with 6 people in a Sandero just isn't on the menu!
It's also in Galway so I'd assume it's in a couple of other cities too
Edit just checked their site and unless you want to go to the North West there's is decent coverage around the country, obviously best in Dublin and its surroundings though https://www.gocar.ie/locations/
For the avoidance of doubt here. I'm suggesting you book one car for the entire week. Pick it up from its base, drive it wherever you want. And only return it to its base at the end of the week. Ie, use a gocar exactly like a traditional rental.
Unfortunately you can't use a gocar for one way journeys, you always have to return them to where you got them.
But another benefit I just remembered is that their on street parking is effectively paid for everywhere they operate. So you'd be saving a few quid on parking too.
The more I think about it the more I think it's actually a great fit for you.
Yeah GoCar was the first thing I said too. How much would that cost for a week's rental? Do they allow such long rentals?
Just pay the extra to get added as a named driver.
My dad added me to his policy a few years back and it cost something like £45 for the year.
Does anyone know, can you still go to the uk with identity cards or do you have to have a passport?
You can get away with an identity card but you'll need to book your return flight from Kigali International Airport.
In theory an identity card should be sufficient for Irish citizens as the CTA is still in effect, but I probably wouldn't try and risk it.
Also depends on how you’re traveling. Most airlines wouldn’t let you on a plane without a passport.

New Jeff Bridges show just out called The Old Man. Only watched the first episode but easily one of the best pilot's I've ever seen.
Worth remembering that Common Travel Area is only for UK and Irish citizens. Anyone else needs a passport.
Can confirm - is very good. Only 2 episodes out so far?
Yeah seems to be a new episode Friday's.
Just watched the second episode. Holy hell this show is not f**king around.
Started watching season 3 of The Boys. Can not get out of my head
the supe that blew up another guy from inside his dick because he (the supe) sneezed after doing a **** load of coke.
Yep. That left me feeling very uncomfortable. Not sure how I feel about this season. Parts of it are as good as the show has been and other elements reek of trying too hard to be edgy.
Eh - maybe I'm underthinking it but whilst I found the new season gory and absurd, it has also been hilarious and completely in character for the show. The Boys is pretty unfiltered and hugely entertaining and it also does a decent job of red flagging right wing and authoritarian ideologies whilst thoroughly and rightly mocking them.
The next episode is meant to be... graphic...
My first thought was how did they film it. If ever I wanted to know how a scene was made, this was it

How was your day at work? oh not too bad, we built a massive dick today
that's actually amazing
I'm 3 episodes into this season are any of those spoilers safe for me to click?
yes, they are all about episode 1
In that case I probably already know what they are about :)
Is it released periodically or are they all out yet?
I'm not sure I can go back to not being able to binge shows to be honest. I get they might like to keep the office water cooler conversation going over weeks and all, but that's for them not me and I don't like it.
The Boys is released weekly but the first 3 were released on the same day. This is an 8 episode season, 5 are out already
Ah same as before, grand so. Thanks. Will probably wait until they're all released to go through it. That reminds me, have to finish the Expanse for the same reason.
On another note “Only Murders in the Building” has been very enjoyable watch and for anyone who is an aficionado of Martin Short (Three Amigos, Three Fugitives and best of all Innerspace in the late 80’s early 90’s) and of course Steve Martin (Freddy Bensen and latterly Ruprecht in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels) it is a throwback. Season 2 is out 28 June.
The Umbrella Academy S3 out now too, but they're drip feeding episodes. An unusual but excellent show
why so uncomfortable with that scene? it wasn't even that out of place in the show overall
