Yes. Using the SHARE NOW app, you can easily find and reserve a car for 30 minutes. You can reserve 1 car at a time and you can reserve the same car every 2 hours.

If you need more than 30 minutes of reservation, you can add reservation time in the app for a small fee.

Our BMW and MINI cars are keyless, meaning you don't need a car key to unlock the car or start the engine. These cars use Start/Stop buttons instead.

Here's how it works:

1. Locate a car near you using the app.
2. Tap 'Reserve' and make it yours.
3. When you're at the car, tap 'Start' in the app.
4. Use Face-ID or enter your 4-digit PIN.
5. The car unlocks automatically.
6. To start the engine, press the Start/Stop button.
7. Arrived at your destination? End the trip via the app.

Good catch! You can report damages on a car directly in the SHARE NOW app before and after your trip. There should be a history of all reported damages for each car. We don't expect you to report damages that are smaller than the size of a credit card, though.

If the damages are serious, please contact us to let us know.

Relax. In most cases, there’s nothing wrong with the car. As a safety measure, we remotely lock the engine so that the car can’t be driven off while you’re away. When you’re ready to drive again, simply unlock the engine via the app.

To end the trip, you need to be inside the Home Area. The Home Area is our operative area, in which SHARE NOW cars free-float around the city. You can park for free on a large portion of public parking where the car can stay parked for a minimum of 2 hours. Please pay attention to rules on restrictions, for example, time and period restrictions.
