Shared car

Whether a shared car is cheaper for you depends on how often and how many kilometers you drive. Owning a car easily costs between € 300 and € 550 per month. You can use a shared car from € 30 per day.

More benefits

• Only pay when you use it: If you occasionally need a car, the costs are often lower than with your own car. For example, you do not pay purchase costs, parking costs (at the car's location), maintenance costs, taxes and insurance costs.
• Freedom of choice: Most providers offer different types of cars. This way you can use a smaller or larger car when you need it.
• More space: We save space on the street when a car is shared. This freed-up space can be used for more greenery, meeting, playing, exercising and leisure.
• Sustainable: From 2026, all shared cars in Groningen will be electric. In addition, car sharing leads to less car use and thus encourages the use of bicycle and public transport.

Would you like to start sharing an electric car with your neighbours? The municipality offers the DEEL method for free to assist neighbourhoods.
