Car sharing

On this page you can discover what car sharing is precisely and look at the possibilities for subsidies.

What is car sharing?

A car sharing scheme means you share a car with other people. You can do this in different ways:

• You borrow a car from friends, family or neighbours.
• You hire a car from a car sharing company.
• You share (lease) cars with other people in a cooperative or group.

Car sharing is one of the most effective forms of smart mobility. It frees up space on the road, leads to fewer cars on the street and improves the living environment of city residents. The municipality is supporting car sharing in the city.

• Advantages and differences

  Car sharing in a cooperative or group

  In a cooperative car sharing scheme you and your neighbours set up a cooperative (association). The cooperative arranges and decides everything together, such as money matters. There is a subsidy available for setting up a cooperative car sharing scheme.

  For car sharing in a group (of residents) it is not necessary for you to establish an official cooperative. You outsource a number of matters (such as money matters) and pay a commercial rate for this.

  • You have a reserved parking space.
  • Your actions result in fewer cars on the street.
  • You decide together which (electric) cars you lease or use.
  • You can apply for a subsidy for setting up a cooperative.

  Hiring from a car sharing company

  You hire a car from a provider through a car sharing company. You pay a commercial rate for this.

  • You find a car in a reserved parking space or within a certain area. Or throughout the entire city (depending on the provider).
  • Your actions result in fewer cars on the street.
  • You choose your own provider in your neighbourhood.
