FAQ

hvv switch was launched with the aim of providing users who know the best way to get from A to B with easy and quick access to their favourite mobility. Over time, the target group became more diverse and the desire for information in hvv switch increased. In order to meet your needs, we have initially included the most popular functions from the hvv app. We are already working on the integration of further functions.

SIXT share & SHARE NOW

Calculation of the rental price is dynamic. It depends, among other things, on the time and place of the rental, as well as on the model of car. Before you start the rental, you will be shown the various rental conditions for each car in the app. Details about the respective rates are available with the respective mobility partner.

Please note that not all of the rates listed are valid for hvv switch.

MILES

With MILES, you don't pay per minute, but per kilometer driven. The fares can be found in the MILES fare overview. Please note that not all fares are valid for hvv switch.

Once you’ve registered, open the MOIA module on your dashboard. You can then either let hvv switch identify your current location using GPS or enter your desired pick-up point and destination yourself. Then you can specify a desired time for your shuttle. You may be asked to enter additional information needed to make the booking in the app if you haven’t done so already. In order to book a MOIA shuttle you have to: Confirm your email address, enter your first and last name, and your mobile number. You must also deposit a means of payment in your account..

If all requirements are met and a MOIA shuttle is available, you’ll then receive a shuttle offer. You’ll receive all the information you need to make a paid booking, including the location of the virtual stop where you’ll be picked up and where the shuttle will take you so that you’re at least close to your destination. Plus, of course, the arrival time and the price. If you agree to all this, you can then confirm the booking of your shuttle. At this point we authorize the amount on your PayPal account and a consession will be made.

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.

Unfortunately, we are not yet able to offer you a refueling or recharging function within the app.

Refueling

If you urgently need fuel for your car, e.g. to get back to the business area, the fuel costs have to be paid privately. After the trip, send the receipts to sixtshare-hvv@sixt.com with the booking number, license plate number and bank account details. After successful verification, the fuel costs will be reimbursed by SIXT share.

Important for you to know: Refueling as well as charging is not incentivized with hvv switch by e.g. free minutes or similar.

Charging

You can charge the SIXT share cars with the charging card in the car or the chip on your key ring. How exactly this works, you can find out here.
