What is a drop off fee?

A drop off fee applies when you end your trip in drop off zones (marked "Zone A" or "Zone B" on the Home Area map).

Drop off zones are part of the Home Area and are located a little outside the city centre. The drop off fee does not apply if you start and end your trip within the same drop off zone. The drop off zones and fees are marked on the Home Area map of the chosen city.

How can I find cars with the lowest prices?

You can easily find our lowest prices by looking for cars marked with a red sticker in the app. The discount applies to the minute rate, which changes according to time and location. The minute rate applies from the moment you reserve the car – no matter where or when you end the trip.

Why does the minute rate change according to time and location?

In other SHARE NOW locations, the minute price is flexible! This is not the case in Budapest, where the minute rate is fixed based on the car model.

In our other locations, the minute rate for each car changes depending on where and when you look in the app. The reason is: availability! Sometimes there are too few or too many cars when and where you need them. To get cars moving to the right spots, the minute rate automatically adjusts itself based on time and location.

The advantages:
✓ Cars in low demand areas are discounted daily so they are more likely to be driven.
✓ For just a few cents more or less, demand and supply are brought back into balance.
✓ This improves the availability of cars throughout the Home Area so you can find a car at the right place and time – for the right price.

You can always see the latest minute rate by tapping on a car abroad. Simply look out for cars with red stickers in the app to enjoy the lowest price. Happy bargain-hunting!
