FAQ
MILES Mobility

Yes, you can park during a current rental.

SIXT share

With SIXT share you need the car key, which you will find in the glove compartment. With it, you can lock the doors and move away from the car while the rental is in progress. The cost of the rental continues while the car is parked. At the end of the rental, please return the car key to the glove box and lock the car via the app.

MILES

With MILES, the parking mode is initiated via the hvv switch app. A car key is only available on the vans. Please note that parking mode is charged per minute. Instructions on how to do this can be found here.

WeShare

With WeShare you can of course also make a "stopover". After you have parked the car, you activate the parking mode in the app by tapping on "Activate parking mode". Switching to parking mode also locks the car. You want to drive on again? End the parking mode by tapping on "End parking mode", which unlocks the doors and off you go. Without a car key - there is no such thing.

Note: If you forget to activate the parking mode, WeShare will automatically lock the car (engine lock). When you return to the car, briefly activate the parking mode and then exit it again. Afterwards, you can simply continue driving.

Good to know: The ID models do not have a physical handbrake. Simply activate parking by pressing "P" on the right side of the gearshift and you're done!

Please make sure that your documents to be validated are valid. For validation, you need a stable internet connection, ideally via WLAN, a working camera and a working microphone. It is best to carry out the video validation in a bright environment so that the documents with the corresponding security features can be easily recognised. If this information does not help you, please contact the hvv switch customer service.

With a rented carsharing car, you may also park outside the business area. Outside the business areas and in car parks, you must comply with the same regulations as with your private vehicle and pay the charges yourself. Please note that the rental fee for the car continues to run and the corresponding costs are incurred.

SIXT share and MILES cars do not currently have child seats or booster seats.

You must be in possession of valid documents and show validation to be able to make use of car sharing services. Whenever you receive new ID documents, you should have them re-validated straight away, or just before you start your journey at the latest.

If you want to rent cars using the hvv switch app, we are obliged by the affiliated providers of these services to ensure that you are in possession of a valid driving licence. Cars can only be booked and used if all the security criteria have been met and verified in the form of a validation process.

If a car is not locking properly, this might be due to several different reasons. Please contact the customer service of the carsharing provider and they will be glad to assist you further.
