Lidl Ireland Expands GoCar Partnership To 50 Stores

Lidl Ireland has expanded its partnership with car- and van-sharing service GoCar by installing 100 pay-as-you-go vehicles to rent in 50 stores across Ireland.

In the past year, more than 6,000 Lidl customers have availed of the GoCar service at stores all over the country.

The retailer initially partnered with GoCar in December 2022, to conduct an initial trial, which saw 20 vehicles placed across ten Lidl stores over a three-month period.

Following the success of the trial, Lidl accelerated its partnership to deliver this extended fleet.

With two GoCars installed at each participating store, shoppers across 20 counties can avail of the scheme.

The strategic partnership aims to provide Lidl shoppers with additional services, to support accessibility.

This latest innovation complements the retailer’s existing OOHPod parcel lockers, which offer shoppers the convenience of picking up their online purchases during their weekly shop.

Lidl has also invested €50 million into installing two reverse vending machines per store, to facilitate the easy return of containers, as part of the Deposit Return Scheme (DRS).
