The largest car sharing platform
We believe driving can be smarter, more sustainable, and more efficient. Since 1995, Greenwheels has become the largest car sharing company in the Netherlands.
What is Greenwheels?
Greenwheels offers shared cars all across the Netherlands. You've probably seen them before: our red cars, white cars, and vans parked on the street. It’s super easy: with our app you can book, unlock and lock the car. Every Greenwheels car has a dedicated parking spot, including at 170 train stations. With over 2.900 shared cars across 185 towns and cities, there’s always a car nearby ready for you. That’s clever car sharing!

Our mission: liveable streets
But what do we do? We make streets more liveable through car sharing. Fewer cars on the street means more space for nicer things. Shared cars reduce the number of vehicles on the road, lower CO₂ emissions, and make cities more enjoyable places to live. On average, each Greenwheels car replaces 14 privately owned cars: car sharers really make a difference.
How it all started
Greenwheels was founded in 1995 by two university friends. What began with just three cars in Rotterdam has grown into a national network of 2.900 cars available whenever you need them. Today, we're active throughout the Netherlands and work closely with municipalities, businesses, and mobility partners like NS and Shuttel to make sustainable transport accessible for everyone.
Partnerships
We believe in working together to make streets more liveable. That’s why we've partnered with NS since 1997, and also collaborate with other mobility providers to make clever transport choices accessible to even more people.
Social responsibility
Our business can only succeed by acting responsibly and thinking long term. Sustainability and corporate social responsibility have been part of Greenwheels' DNA from the start. For example, we have a whistleblower system in place to ensure transparency and integrity.
The future of car sharing
We're always moving forward. In the coming years, we'll continue expanding our fleet and investing in smart technology to make car sharing even easier. By the end of 2026, we aim to grow to 4,000 shared cars. We're committed to creating more liveable streets and promoting sustainable mobility.
