Car-sharing in Cologne from 0,19 €/min¹

Thousands of cars, one app

Car-sharing in Cologne. Flexible and convenient.

From Cologne cathedral to Belgian quarter — you’ve never done car rental like this before. With car-sharing, there's no need to buy or lease a car. It's just like having your own car in Cologne. Just pick up any of our cars parked near your favourite hipster café in the Belgian quarter and drop it off anywhere in the Home Area when you're done. How does it work?

We don't do rental stations! Our cars are available 24/7 and free-float all around the Home Area. Use the SHARE NOW app to find an available car near you. Reserve the car to make it yours — and start walking over!

Once you're at the car, unlock it with a push of a button in the SHARE NOW app. Choose a minute, hourly, or daily rate that meets your needs — then start your trip! You can drive outside the Home Area and any fueling costs are on us.

Simply end your trip anywhere in the Home Area — no annoying drop off procedures, no refueling required! Public street parking in the Home Area is for free² so you don't even have to worry about that.

The Cologne Home Area

Area covered by SHARE NOW in Cologne

The SHARE NOW Home Area is an operational zone for free-floating car-sharing covering almost the entire city. This is where you can:

  • find cars to rent using the app;
  • park anywhere on a public street;
  • end your trip once you're done.

To discover the SHARE NOW Home Area in Cologne, you can take a look at it below or download it here.

Where can I park for free?

Public street parking is always for free within the Home Area. And we have dedicated car-sharing parking spots all over town. Simply look for "P" signs in the app.

See parking rules

From shopping outlets to popular neighbourhoods, we have convenient drop off zones in areas just outside Cologne where you can park and end your trip. A drop off fee will apply.

See drop off fees

You can leave the Home Area for as long as you like – as long as you bring the car back to end your trip. To park and stopover, simply lock the car without ending your trip.

Public street parking in Dusseldorf is also always for free. For an intercity fee of 8,99 €, you can even end your trip in your neighbouring city and leave the car there!

We're available at the Cologne-Bonn airport! There are dedicated car-sharing parking spots at the airport where you can find and drop off our cars. An airport fee will apply.
