'The idea behind car-sharing is simple but revolutionary: sharing instead of owning. With SHARE NOW, more than 3 million customers have all the benefits of owning their own car without having to commit to a car in the long term. The pioneer and market leader in the field of flexible car-sharing operates around 11,000 vehicles in eight European countries, thus creating easy access to flexible and sustainable mobility.'

Car-sharing is easy to explain: Several users share one car. These vehicles are available for flexible use in a defined business area. SHARE NOW invented this form of free-floating car-sharing in 2008 and switched to a completely digital approach as early as 2014. From the registration and validation to the reservation, to booking and the start and end of the journey, everything happens simply via the SHARE NOW app, which was developed 100% in-house. Customers also have full flexibility when it comes to selecting the vehicle model and rental period. Whether it be three minutes, three hours, or thirty days, SHARE NOW has the right answer for all mobility needs. To ensure that the car-sharing experience remains as pleasant, simple, and flexible as possible, SHARE NOW is constantly developing its product further.

Studies show that a private car is in use for one hour per day. During the remaining 23 hours it occupies valuable space. In comparison, SHARE NOW vehicles are moved six times more often on average. Car-sharing thus relieves cities of parking pressure, space requirements, traffic, and emissions.

Car-sharing customers remain flexible even without their own car, reducing costs and any additional effort associated with their own car to a minimum. The car-sharing provider takes care of fuel, insurance, and maintenance. As a supplement to the urban mobility mix, flexible car-sharing thus meets both the desire for spontaneous mobility and the sustainability concept. It enhances the quality of life in cities and thus makes a significant contribution to the traffic turnaround.

To ensure modern mobility and continuous innovation, SHARE NOW relies on a diverse team of around 500 employees from more than 30 countries. The company has maintained its pioneering spirit over the past 14 years and still shows the courage to rethink the tried and true. It is, above all, this incentive that creates room for innovation and further development.

The fact that car-sharing is the perfect partner for new technologies is particularly evident with regard to electromobility. Over a quarter of the SHARE NOW fleet is already electric. The company thus offers millions of city dwellers an easy first contact with electric vehicles.

Even so, car-sharing remains far from reaching the end of its development. As a pioneer and market leader, SHARE NOW is working to spread the idea of car-sharing worldwide. Thanks to its proprietary technology, SHARE NOW's car-sharing can be opened up to other product areas, such as franchise partners worldwide. This is the cornerstone for shared and sustainable mobility of the future, which can be scaled globally and ensures a better quality of life in cities across borders.
