STRESS-FREE SHOPPING
Christmas shopping made easy with car-sharing
As the year draws to an end and the festive season begins, there’s one thing that starts to climb everyone’s to-do lists - Christmas shopping. Giving gifts is joyous but, let’s face it, shopping around the holidays can be a taxing experience. As the city centre starts to fill up and public transport gets packed with people carrying their hauls, stress levels can quickly rise, especially during the last weeks of the year. Thankfully, there’s an alternative. With car-sharing, you can take the stress out of last-minute shopping. We'll be your Christmas shopping cart!
Advantages of car-sharing for Christmas shopping
At SHARE NOW, we’ve got cars of all shapes and sizes to fit your needs - be it a compact car for easier inner-city parking, or something with the cargo space to carry your shopping bags. Here are the main advantages of using car-sharing for your Christmas shopping this winter.
Available 24/7
The key to a successful Christmas shopping season is, of course, planning. However, sometimes life doesn’t always go to plan. When the need arises for a last-minute trip to the shops, car-sharing is there to save you. Our cars free-float all around the city and can be unlocked with just our app. With 24/7 availability, we’re there for those situations you can’t plan for.
Pre-book your car
Reserving your car in advance is the perfect way to take the stress out of your Christmas shopping. You can book your car online or in the app. Simply tell us when and where you want it, and we'll take care of the rest. No paperwork, no queues, no car rental stations! When you’re done, just leave it anywhere in the Home Area of your city. One less thing to worry about!
Free parking
With SHARE NOW car-sharing, you can park for free on any legal public street parking space within the Home Area. Many city malls also offer free parking for customers, so you can do your shopping in peace knowing you are not on the meter. Parking can get busy in city centres around this time of year, so we’ve done our best to make it as hassle-free as possible.
Space for all your gifts
Like to get your Christmas shopping done in one fell swoop? A sensible plan, until you need to carry all of your bags home. Our SHARE NOW fleet is comprised of cars of all different sizes, giving you the flexibility and cargo space you need, however big you spend this holiday season. With vehicles such as the Peugeot 2008, you’ll have plenty of room for all of your shopping.
Bring a second driver
The holidays are all about sharing and, for many, shopping is a social experience. With our new Additional Driver feature, you can share the driving load. Invite an second driver to your pre-booked trip and you can both get behind the wheel when you shop with a friend. Now that’s teamwork!
Shop in style
Christmas shopping doesn’t have to be a chore. With car-sharing, you have access to a wide range of vehicles from leading manufacturers, meaning you can hit the stores in comfort and style. SHARE NOW puts you in the driver's seat of the world's most iconic vehicles, from brands such as Fiat, Opel, Peugeot, and more. We also have a range of fully electric vehicles in our fleet.
For many, the holidays mean getting together with family and friends to share a festive feast. You may be a city dweller who eats out or visits your local market hall a couple of times a week to pick up fresh food, but when it comes to family gatherings, the traditional ‘big shop’ at a supermarket is required. Car-sharing is the ideal solution to turn these ritual shopping trips from back-breaking nightmares to effortless endeavours. Simply grab a car close to you and head to the best supermarket in town, fill the boot with delicious food and drink and drive straight home.
