Thousands of cars, one app

Car-sharing in Cologne. Flexible and convenient.

From Cologne cathedral to Belgian quarter — you’ve never done car rental like this before. With car-sharing, there's no need to buy or lease a car. It's just like having your own car in Cologne. Just pick up any of our cars parked near your favourite hipster café in the Belgian quarter and drop it off anywhere in the Home Area when you're done. How does it work?

1. Find a car

We don't do rental stations! Our cars are available 24/7 and free-float all around the Home Area. Use the Free2move app to find an available car near you. Reserve the car to make it yours — and start walking over!

2. Unlock the car

Once you're at the car, unlock it with a push of a button in the Free2move app. Choose a minute, hourly, or daily rate that meets your needs — then start your trip! You can drive outside the Home Area and any fueling costs are on us.

3. Drop off anywhere

Simply end your trip anywhere in the Home Area — no annoying drop off procedures, no refueling required! Public street parking in the Home Area is for free so you don't even have to worry about that.

When you need a ride in Cologne...

I'd like a safe ride to work. I have an important meeting at the Town Hall. I feel like visiting Satzvey Castle this weekend. I feel like shopping at Köln Arcaden. I missed my S-Bahn again. I love Cologne but I really need a holiday. I have a flight to catch at Cologne-Bonn Airport.
