We work closely with the local government in Cologne so you can enjoy the privilege of free legal street parking all around the SHARE NOW Home Area in Cologne. A rule of thumb when you look for parking is to ask yourself: Would I leave my own car here?

You can park almost anywhere. But where can you stopover or end a trip?
