A shared car is a car you rent by the hour or the day, parked close to where you live. You do not need to own a car, and you pay only for the time and distance you drive. Getting started takes two steps.
You register once online with your driving licence and payment details. Many providers approve you quickly, though some verify manually. Allow a few minutes to one working day before your account is active.
Once your account is ready, you reserve a car through the app and unlock it with your phone. Pick the car up at the agreed location and return it after your trip. More details are in the guide to your first trip.
