FAQ
MILES Mobility

The rental may be terminated within the Hamburg business area (exception: MILES vehicles may also be parked in other cities with MILES business area), at a hvv switch point (as long as it is located in the business territory of the respective partner) or, if it is a rented car from SIXT share, at a SIXT rental station (also outside Hamburg in other cities). You must ensure that the car is properly parked in permitted places in the public road space, according to the road traffic regulations for the next 48 hours. The rental may not be terminated in parking zones with parking discs and in residents' parking spaces.

If you want to return your SIXT Share car to a SIXT station, you can find information here.

As a general rule, parking is not permitted in the following locations or areas:

• In parking garages, underground garages or on other covered parking areas.
• In private parking lots (parking garage, backyard)
• In residents' parking lots
• In parking spaces with time restrictions that still come into effect within 48h after the vehicle is parked (see General Terms and Conditions).
• In designated parking areas for electric vehicles (exception: e-vehicles)
• In no-parking areas that are outlined in red on the map in the hvv switch app.

cambio and Dorfstromer offer station-based car sharing, i.e. the start and end of the rental always take place at the same hvv switch point. The rental of cambio and Dorfstromer cars may only ever be ended at the hvv switch point at which the rental was started.

SIXT share & SHARE NOW

The vehicle registration document is located in the glove compartment of SIXT share cars.

MILES

For administrative reasons, no copies of the vehicle registration document are stored in MILES cars. If necessary (e.B. at a police check) they will be provided by email.

You can park in any publicly accessible parking lot (free of charge within the business areas) of a city, the hvv switch points and in the designated areas at Hamburg Airport. In "parking ticket zones" please be sure to use a parking disc. A parking ticket is not required here. In designated "parking disc zones", the parking time is also limited. Please use the parking disc in your car and display it visibly. The rental period cannot be terminated in "parking disc zones", but intermediate parking is possible.

Comprehensive overviews of the basic parking rules can also be found at SIXT share, SHARE NOW and MILES. Familiarize yourself with the parking rules and note that other rules apply outside the Hamburg business area.

Basically, the parking guidelines apply according to the locally valid road traffic regulations.

With MILES, you can refuel cars that are travelling with a fuel level of less than 25% via the hvv switch app - and it's easy to do digitally. To ensure that MILES covers the refuelling costs, you can only use the petrol stations shown on the map in the hvv switch app. Select a petrol station on the map and start the refuelling process via the hvv switch app. Please note: With hvv switch, refuelling processes are not reimbursed.

If your rental cannot be completed due to a low fuel level (less than 5%), please contact MILES customer service directly on (030) 8379-5103.

The cars of MILES are covered by liability insurance. Should an accident occur, the deductible in the event of a claim, depending on the category of the car is

• S: 900 EUR
• M: 900 EUR
• L: 1000 EUR
• XL: 1000 EUR
• P: 1000 EUR

The deductible applies per claim.

Further information.

With MILES, the calculation is made for kilometres driven in the standard tariff. In the hvv switch app, driven kilometers and not the time driven are displayed. In addition, there is an "unlocking fee" of 1 euro to reduce the deductible in the event of damage. This fee is mandatory.

When parking mode is activated via the app, all doors of the car are automatically locked. The MILES car is only available to you and cannot be rented by other drivers. However, billing in parking mode is based on a price per minute. For vans, the loading and unloading times are billed as parking minutes.

Further information.

You can switch to parking mode at any time as soon as the vehicle is parked. When switching to parking mode, the app also points out the costs of the parking tariff. Please note that when activating the parking mode, the car will be locked.

In the event that you have forgotten to set the parking mode and all conditions are met (ignition off, windows / doors closed), the car will be automatically put into parking mode after about two to five minutes. However, billing in parking mode is based on the price per minute.

After about 20 more minutes without action, the rental is automatically terminated in the app, provided that the car is in the MILES business area.

Outside the business area you can park a MILES car only for a stopover during your rental, but not end the rental there.

If you want to make a stopover outside the business area in a paid parking lot, the purchase of a valid parking ticket is required. These costs will not be reimbursed by MILES.

Important note: In underground garages or other covered parking garages you cannot park with MILES!
