A household in Soest owns about 1.2 cars on average, close to the national figure. If you drive only occasionally, sharing usually works out cheaper than owning.

How it works

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.

Where the cars are parked

Greenwheels uses fixed parking spots. MobiGo uses fixed spots in the neighbourhood. Check the provider app for cars available near your postcode.

Parking in Soest

Many Dutch municipalities have paid parking zones and a resident permit system. A shared car needs no parking permit of its own: parking costs are already included in the provider's rate.

No permit to apply for, no space to search for. With a shared car, the parking spot is part of the deal.

Which one suits you best?

For occasional shorter trips of a few hours, a free subscription is usually the most economical choice. Drive more often or longer distances, and a monthly subscription can pay for itself quickly. The comparator calculates it precisely for your usage.
