Pretty much anyone who can legally drive can use SHARE NOW. To register, you need to fulfill the following requirements:
✓ You should be at least 18 years old
✓ You possess a valid driver's license suitable for driving cars (category B)
✓ Your driver's license should have been valid for at least 1 year
✓ You possess a valid email address
✓ You possess a smartphone (iOS or Android)
Easy as that.
Your driver's license must be suitable for driving cars (category B) and must have been valid for at least 1 year. We accept driver’s licenses issued in the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom and in Switzerland.
We also accept international driver's licenses if they meet certain conditions. In case the app doesn't automatically validate your driver's license, please contact Customer Support – we'd be glad to help you validate manually.
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 3 working days. To ensure your driver's license will be accepted, please make sure you upload clearly legible full colour photos of the front and back of your driver's license. Your license should be lying on a flat surface.
Important: In Germany, Italy, and Spain, we're obliged to check the validity of your driver's license 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 unlock a car.
It's like magic. Easy as that.
Yes. We accept driver’s licenses issued in the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA), and Switzerland. If you have a foreign driver's license, e.g. a French license in Germany, you may be asked to provide additional documentation to validate your license. If you have a doubt, please contact Customer Support – we'd be happy to help you validate your driver's license manually. Non-EU/EEA/Swiss driver's licenses are valid for 6 months from first entry in the EU/EEA/Switzerland. You may be asked to provide additional documentation to validate your license:
The International Driver's Permit is valid as long as it authorizes you to drive in the Netherlands. However, the IDP is not a substitute for your original driver's license. You should still have your passport and your original driver's license with you while driving.
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.
