Greenswheels: here's how it works and here's how much it costs

Kerkrade has had six Greenwheels shared cars since August 2024. A shared car is ideal if you don't need a car every day. You have all the benefits of a car, without the fixed costs. How much does renting a Greenwheels car cost and how exactly does it work? 

Car sharing in 3 steps, here's how it works

You refuel or load, we pay. Every rate includes everything in the hourly and mileage price. Including insurance, maintenance, 24/7 customer service and roadside assistance.

  1. Reserve a car: Sign up with Greenwheels, starting at €0 per month. Reserve a car and choose a date and time. You can also cancel your reservation or change the times. 
  2. Open car and drive away: Open the car with the app and grab the trip computer from the glove box. Enter your PIN and take out the key. Start it! 
  3. Return and close: At the end of your ride, you return the car to its own fixed location. You place the key back in the on-board computer and lock the car again using the app.
