Shared car

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 2025, 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.
