YUKÕ SHARE FAQ'S

City living often means high costs and high emissions. Travelling around can be difficult with crowded roads and few parking spaces. Our solution? A Toyota Hybrid shared car ready to go when you are. As a member of YUKÕ you’ll have access to a car parked nearby whenever you need it, making city mobility simple and environmentally friendly all at great value for money. And, as we take care of tax and insurance, fuel & parking, you can drive worry-free.

Anyone between the ages of 22-75. We accept automatic and manual licenses.  You must hold a full driver’s license for at least 24 months.

If you have a non-EU license and have been a resident in Ireland for over 12 months, you will need to exchange your license for an Irish license or apply for an Irish driver’s license.

A hybrid combines a petrol engine with an electric motor, powered by a battery which the car charges for itself. You never have to plug it in. Every time you use the brakes, ‘regenerative braking’ recharges the batteries. All of our YUKÕ’s are hybrid and travel in electric mode 80% of the time.
