Please wait until the relevant authority sends you a payment request directly.

To register for a car sharing service, simply select a car in our app. You will then be automatically guided through the necessary steps. Once you have entered your data in the app and had it validated, you can also use other providers directly without having to enter your data again.

The following data is first stored in the app and then validated via a video call:

  • Full name
  • Registration address
  • Date of birth
  • Place of birth
  • Driving licence data

In addition, a mobile number and at least one payment method (PayPal, debit/credit card or Sepa direct debit bank details) must be stored in the app.

Before renting a vehicle, you must confirm the terms and conditions and data protection regulations of the respective provider and enter your four-digit hvv switch PIN. The PIN is required to book a vehicle. Instead of entering the hvv switch PIN for every booking, you can also authenticate yourself biometrically, for example using FaceID or TouchID.
