Share Now

Share Now (formerly car2go and DriveNow) is a major European car-sharing service operating in multiple German cities including Munich, Hamburg, and Berlin. A joint venture of BMW Group and Mercedes-Benz Mobility, Share Now operates a large fleet of premium vehicles available for free-floating rental.

Users locate, book, and unlock vehicles via the Share Now app, and can drop them off anywhere within the designated city zone at the end of the trip. The premium fleet — including BMW and Mercedes-Benz models — distinguishes Share Now from lower-cost car-sharing services, appealing to professionals who value vehicle quality in their occasional car use.

For expats in Germany who prefer not to own a car but need access to one occasionally, Share Now provides a convenient and reliable option. Registration requires a valid EU or international driving licence, and the digital-first process makes signing up and accessing vehicles entirely straightforward.

Share Now’s BMW and Mercedes-Benz vehicles are maintained to high standards and include a growing proportion of electric vehicles. For expats living in a Share Now service area, the service provides access to quality transportation on demand without any of the costs and complications of vehicle ownership in a German city — parking, insurance, maintenance, and fuel.
