Pre-booking is free and lets you decide exactly where and when you want your car. We'll bring your pre-booked car to within walking distance of your requested pick-up address — within the Home Area, of course!
Pre-booking is exclusively available for long-term rentals from 1 to 30 days.
Currently, you can pre-book a car from 1 to 100 days in advance.
Don't worry. We'll make sure the car stays reserved for you up to 1 hour after your requested pick-up time.
After 1 hour, your pre-booking will be automatically cancelled and you will be charged 1 full rental day (24 hours).
For short trips in the city, only the person who owns the account may drive the car. However, if you pre-book a trip for 1 to 30 days, an additional driver can be added to your booking for a fee of 8,99 € per day.
Your car will be ready for you at your pick-up location roughly 1 hour before start time. We'll notify you as soon as the car is ready for you.
Our goal is to make sure you don't have to walk more than 10 minutes (roughly 800 m) to reach your pre-booked car.
In some SHARE NOW cities, we operate station-based car-sharing where cars do not "free-float" but are rented from fixed stations.
We'll notify you when the car is ready for you. Simply open the SHARE NOW app. The car will already be reserved for you on the map. Just walk over and start your trip in the app!
Once the pre-booked car has been reserved for you 1 hour before start time, you will not be able to reserve or rent other SHARE NOW cars.
You can simply cancel your pre-booking via the app:
Open the app ▶ Menu ▶ Trips ▶ Upcoming trips ▶ Cancel booking
Cancellations are free if you do so at least 3 hours before your start time. After that, a late cancellation fee will be charged, as we would have set aside the car just for you. We hope that sounds fair!
