Shared Cars in Madrid

Madrid is one of the European cities with the biggest offer of car sharing companies. Although the public transport network is excellent, this service is a perfect option for tourists who do not travel to Madrid by car but need one at a specific moment of their visit. If you come to a fair, remember that there is reserved and free parking on the street for almost all of these companies at IFEMA MADRID. It should be remembered that the city has the Madrid 360 initiative which includes the creation of different low emission zones (LEZs) to improve environmental protection in the 21 districts. 

The way it works is very simple: you must register on any of the platforms operating in the city (some of them also operate in other cities in Spain and Europe), provide a credit card number and open the app, where you will be able to see the available vehicles. Just choose the car that interests you, unblock it from the app and start it using the keys that you will find in the glove compartment. Once your trip is completed, leave the key where you found it and you must indicate that the service has finished via the app.

The main car sharing companies operating in Madrid are listed below: 

FREE2MOVE / SHARE NOW

Free2Move, a leading provider in mobility solutions, and SHARE NOW, a market leader and pioneer of carsharing in Europe, have joined forces in their two apps in Madrid to become one of the largest mobility platforms in Europe. 

A single mobility platform for all your needs: from carsharing to subscriptions, parking reservations and car charging services.

SHARE NOW has been offering carsharing services in Europe since 2019. It is present in 17 European cities with about 10,000 vehicles, around 3,000 of which are electric. Free2move (which operates in more than 170 countries) is a mobility platform that offers a wide range of services, such as car subscriptions, parking space reservations, carsharing (electric) (from one minute to several days or months), and even long-term car rental. 

It offers a very useful and practical way to have a car at your disposal. Vehicles are easily available as they are located all around the city, so one is never far away. And it doesn’t matter if you need a car for two minutes or two weeks, because you can choose whichever option suits you best. The experience is tried and tested, operating in other major European cities as well as Madrid, including Paris and Berlin.
