No. We don't expect you to refuel or charge our cars every time you're done. However, if you do, the cost of fuel is covered by us.

If you end your trip in an electric vehicle with less than 10% battery power (unless permitted by the General Terms and Conditions) or a vehicle with a combustion or hybrid engine with less than 15 kilometres' worth of fuel, a fee may be charged. See Fees and Costs policy for more information.

Yes and no. You can park the car at charging stations while the car is actively charging, but it is not always allowed to end your trip there. We always try to reach the best agreement possible for you in each city. This means parking regulations always depends on the city:

*In some SHARE NOW cities, we operate station-based car-sharing where cars do not "free-float" but are rented from fixed stations.

We charge the cars for you in Paris so you don't have to. However, if you've chosen an hourly or daily rate and absolutely need to charge your car, here's how to do it:

1. Look for an available Belib' charging station via the app. If you find yourself outside the home area, here's an overview of all charging stations (Note: some charging stations may not be compatible with our cars. You may have to pay for the charging).

2. Take the charging card located in the key holder out of the glove box.
Note: smart cars do not have any charging**card.Find out more.

3. Take out the charging cable from the car's boot.

4. First, connect the cable to the car.

5. Swipe the card on the charging pole's card reader and connect the cable to it*.

6. The light on the car’s charging port and pole will indicate that charging has started.

7. End your trip via the app. Done!

* Older Belib' charging poles must be activated via a central station located a few meters away from the poles. Enter the charging pole number that you want to activate, then select cable type T2.

Thank you for keeping the SHARE NOW fleet charged up and ready to roll!
