Frequently asked questions

Car-sharing is a ground-breaking new way of having a car in the city. Our cars "free-float" in major city centers and can be rented on-demand with just one app. Find our cars waiting for you around every other street corner and unlock them in just a few taps. There's no minimum trip duration – meaning you could simply drive a SHARE NOW car for just 2 minutes if you like. Or drive out of town for loooonger roadtrips.

Car-sharing was first invented in Ulm, Germany, in 2008, by some very clever engineers. Thanks, engineers!

Car-sharing challenges the very idea of car ownership. A single shared car takes up to 11 privately owned cars off the streets. In the long run, this reduces traffic congestion and overall carbon emissions in Europe's most metropolitan cities.

Hitting the road shouldn't give you bad karma. Today, every second SHARE NOW city has electric cars in our fleet. Electric cars are the future and we're betting big on guilt-free and silent driving. Our promise to you: A growing electric fleet – every year.

Why owe the bank anything just to have a car in the city? Mobility shouldn't be a financial burden. When you car-share, you're claiming personal freedom. For as low as 2,00 kr. per minute, car-sharing with SHARE NOW covers the fixed costs of car loans, car insurance, fuel, and overall maintenance.

A car-sharing joint venture between car2go and DriveNow, SHARE NOW is a disruptive new way of car rental. Our mission is your personal freedom: To make it possible for you to drive in the city without breaking the bank – or the environment. With just one app, we put thousands of the world's coolest cars at your fingertips.

We take our cue from a long line of pioneers in the automotive industry and are still on the move to reinvent mobility. Today, with a global footprint of over 14,000 vehicles in 16 cities in 8 countries across Europe, we are the oldest and most significant car-sharing service provider in the market.

New car models: Try even more models than before. How about a Mercedes-Benz?

Anti-theft measures: Forgot to lock the car doors and walked away? Not to worry.
