We've made a walkthrough on how to get started in the best way. Find it here!

Your driver's licence needs to be suitable for driving cars and needs to have been valid for at least 1 year. Please note: We do not validate digital driver's licenses.

We accept driver’s licences issued in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). The language on the driver's license must be in Danish or English. If you're in doubt, please contact Customer Support – we're happy to help you validate your driver's license.

Simply upload your driver's license in the SHARE NOW app – no need to visit a rental office. You'll also be asked to upload a selfie of yourself, so we can verify it really is you.

Validation typically takes less than 24 hours. To ensure your driver's license will be accepted, please upload legible full-colour photos of the front and back of your driver's license. Your license should be lying on a flat surface. When taking a selfie, remember good lighting and avoid blur.

Important: In Germany, Italy, and Spain, we're obliged to check the validity of your driver's licence every 3 years.

The magic PIN is your key to the all SHARE NOW cars. When you first register, you need to set your personal 4-digit magic PIN.

Basically, you need to enter this PIN in the SHARE NOW app each time you want to start a trip. You can also start a trip by using Face ID or Touch ID. The app will guide you.

Yes. We accept driver’s licences issued in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). The language on the driver's license must be in Danish or English. If you're in doubt, please contact Customer Support – we're happy to help you validate your driver's license.

Non-EU/EEA driver's licences
Driver’s licences issued in Australia, Brazil, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Canada, Chile, Israel, New Zealand, Switzerland, Serbia, Singapore, Ukraine, and USA are valid for 180 days from the day you established habitual residence in Denmark. However, it is a condition that your foreign driving license is valid. If you then wish to continue driving in Denmark, you must have exchanged your foreign driving license for a Danish driving licence. Please also note that your driving license must have been valid for at least one year and that the language on the driving license must be English.

Is your country not on the list?
Countries not mentioned in the list above will not be validated. You need to exchange your driver’s licence to a Danish licence to be able to drive. Most likely, you will be required to take a driver’s test to obtain the Danish licence.

After you download and open the SHARE NOW app, your Android mobile device will ask you for "permissions". Permissions are special privileges that apps must ask for if they want to access data or functions on your phone. For example, if you'd like to find a car near you, the SHARE NOW app will ask for permission to see your exact location. Some apps ask for more permissions than necessary – not cool. We ask for the bare necessities so that the SHARE NOW app will work well for you.
