Car sharing

Car sharing is the flexible, convenient and inexpensive alternative for anyone who only needs a car from time to time. There are numerous car sharing schemes in Hamburg and the surrounding area - often in the immediate vicinity of rapid transit stations.

The principle of car sharing: you reserve a car by telephone or online, collect it from a car park and return it to a car park. Depending on the provider, the car can be parked either at fixed stations or at all public car parks in the respective business area. The price depends on the number of kilometres driven.

You can find car sharing providers based in Hamburg, for example, in the city of Hamburg's business directory using the search term "Carsharing Hamburg".
