Learn all about parking with SHARE NOW here.
You park for free and end your trip in public parking spaces within the Home Area in Copenhagen and Frederiksberg (including most hospitals and a number of selected shopping destinations) where the car is allowed to remain parked for a minimum of 2 hours with no restrictions during certain hours. Public parking spaces are shown as a blue sign with white text.
Think of the Home Area as our operating area, in which our cars free-float around the city and where you can park on the streets for free. You can drive outside the Home Area, but you must drive back to the same Home Area to end the trip.

Getting a parking fine is always a pain, especially if it's due to misunderstandings – so we're glad you're asking! Here are some of our tips for parking with SHARE NOW in Copenhagen. Our Customer Centre is ready to guide you if you're in doubt.
You can park SHARE NOW cars for free on any public street parking space, as long as the car is allowed to stay parked for a minimum of 2 hours with no further restrictions during certain hours or days. You're not allowed to end your trip next to a "parking not allowed" sign (e.g. parking or stopping not allowed), including in spaces with restrictions during certain hours or days. For example, you're not allowed to end a trip in an area where parking is prohibited between 7 and 9 AM – no matter at which time of the day you're parking the car.
Be sure to check that the automatic parking disc in the car is functional and shows the correct time. If it doesn't, it's important that you contact our customer centre and report it.
You must park the car at least 10m away from intersections. In most places, these are marked with a small, yellow triangle on the curb.
You're not allowed to park in private spaces, taxi spaces, disabled parking spaces or similar. Some private spaces are allowed, however – please find the list here.
Even though thousands of people share our cars every day, you're not allowed to end your trip in spaces reserved for licensed car-sharing cars (in Danish: ‘delebiler’). However – you are allowed to park and end your trip in spaces marked "Kun el-delebiler" if you drive an electric SHARE NOW car.

Doing a stopover with SHARE NOW is easy. First, park the car and shut all windows. After that, just use the app:
Note: Stopover time counts as part of your total trip duration. If you have selected an hourly or daily rate, stopover time will continue to use up the time you have booked. If you have selected the minute rate, stopover time will be billed according to the minute rate.
Drop off zones are part of the Home Area and are typically located outside the city or in areas with lower activity or special parking conditions. To see drop off zones in the app, active the view in app setting or on the map. After that, our drop off zones are shown as dimmed areas on the map.
A fee of 25 kr. will be applied when you end your trip in a drop off zone.
We've partnered with several shopping centres and businesses in the Greater Copenhagen area to give you more options to park the car and end your trip. Before you park, please make sure to check out these websites for more information:

If you rent a SHARE NOW in Denmark, you're also allowed to take the car to Sweden and Germany. You still need to return the car to the Home Area in Denmark to end your trip.
You can park the car at most charging stations if the car is charging, but you can't always end your trip there.
Denmark
You can park at any of our charging partners, but you can only end your trip inside the Home Area. At some charging stations, e.g. Lüders parking garage in Nordhavn, it is only allowed to park if the car is charging at the same time. At other stations, e.g. P-hus Ejler Bille in Ørestad, you're only allowed to park the car at selected spots. Always make sure to follow local signage when you park.
We encourage you to charge the car when parking at a charging station, even if it's not mandatory. This way, the charging network can be utilised most efficiently.

In Vienna, it is not allowed to end your trip at the SMATRICS charging stations. We recommend only parking at these stations during a stopover (it is allowed to use these charging stations only while a car is charging). See parking rules in Vienna
