A lot of Greenwheels cars come with a phone holder and USB port. But how do you use them? Check out the video to find out.

 

 

 

 

Refueling en electric driving

Refuelling

Fuel is included in the price. You will receive a fuel card which you can use to refuel for free.
End your booking with at least a quarter tank of fuel.

Electric: start, return and charge the car

Our cars are easy to use. There's a charging card in every car which you can use to freely charge. But how do you use our electric cars?

Electric: fast charging

Fast charging is also included in the price. You can use the fuel card in the car to freely charge, even at fast charging stations (CCS-system).

 

 

After your trip

Returning and parking

All our cars have their own designated parking location. This is a parking spot that is reserved for that car and where you park the car before the end of the booking.

Refueling or charging

Always leave the car with at least 25% fuel in the tank. For electric cars, always connect them to a working charging point. That way, the next driver can hit the road without any hassle.

Locking the car

Place the car key back into the board computer, turn off the lights and close all windows and doors. Take your belongings and any trash with you and lock the car with the app.

Shorten booking

Returning earlier than expected? You can shorten your booking (with selected rates) up to 2 hours before ending it.

Compact city cars

Electric or fuel-powered, automatic or manual. Our compact city cars are ideal for visiting family or friends, running errands, or enjoying a day out.

Large station wagon

A large station wagon is ideal for holidays, going out with your family or friends, or if you need to transport a lot of stuff.

Vans

Our Volkswagen Caddy is the smart choice when you're doing odd jobs or moving. But also, if you want to pick up second-hand furniture or go to the garden center, this is the shared car for you.
