What is your question? 

We continuously expand our network of cars, so that we are as closeby as possible to our customers. Based on the address details of applications we receive, we regularly check in which districts new Greenwheels need to be placed. If a parking space meets the condition of application, we submit an application for a parking permit to the municipality, which is usually a long process. As soon as we have received approval from the municipality, we will place the car and notify everyone by e-mail who has provided their address details. You can apply for a Greenwheels via the contact form.

Car rental is somewhat different from car sharing. We would like to explain it with some examples:

- Greenwheels can be found at 1,850 locations throughout the Netherlands. That is why there is often a car in your area that you can take with you whenever you want. So you don't have to go to a car rental company first to pick up a car there.

- You can open a Greenwheels car with the Greenwheels app or your OV chip card. There is no key handover required.

- A Greenwheels car is available to you 24 hours a day. You are not bound by office opening times. You can also book and take a Greenwheels car in the middle of the night.

- Flexible reservation: you can reserve and use a car from only 15 minutes.

- Fuel is included. There is a fuel or charge card in every Greenwheels car.

As well as locking and unlocking the car with the app, you can also use a linked OV chipcard or a Greenwheels card. If you choose the Greenwheels card, there's a one-off fee of €25. This makes the card your property and you don't have to return it to us if you unsubscribe later. You can link your OV chipcard for free.

Every car is insured, including Personal Accident Insurance ('Ongevallen-inzittendenverzekering').

This means that harm is covered for both the driver/passengers and third parties. Any possessions you take with you in the car are not covered by this insurance. Greenwheels can't be held liable for theft of or damage to these possessions either.

There's a fixed excess for damage to the Greenwheels car, which you can reduce for each journey.  In the event of damage during your ride, the deductible per claim is € 350 as standard. You have the option to lower your deductible to € 75 for € 4 per reservation. You can do this in your account. For older contracts, an excess of € 225 applies.

Do you have the correct version of Android or iOS, but are you experiencing problems in your mobile app? Then send a notification with Instabug by shaking your phone. You can then immediately send us an error notification of an improvement proposal. In the event of an error message, we can also read direct technical details of the error message so that we can deal with this better.

It is important to know that the app is supported for Android from version 4.4. For iOS that is version 10.

Definitely! Greenwheels cars can be found near over 110 NS stations. The naming description for these begins with ‘NS Station’, or you can look for one at the location where you need it.

Just as you reserve a car in your own city, you also reserve a car in another city. If you are going to an unknown distribution point for the first time, read the details of the exact location under 'Location description' of the car. Of course, if you have any questions, you cannot contact customer service yet.

When you are a new customer, you will see the e-Golf on the map, but not as an available car. After 8 weeks this will be changed automatically and you will be able to book the e-Golf. Do you want to use the e-Golf earlier? Please contact the customer service. Keep in mind that this process can take several days.

You can make a reservation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can make a reservation up to six months in advance to a minute in advance. You can make a reservation via the website or via the Greenwheels app.

Definitely! Greenwheels cars can be found near over 110 NS stations. The naming description for these begins with ‘NS Station’, or you can look for one at the location where you need it.

You can do this within Europe without further permission.

If you're leaving Europe, you'll need to ask for permission for this when making your reservation. You need to report your journey abroad 24 hours in advance using the contact form. If you're making your journey within 24 hours or if you're going to Ghent in Belgium, then please call our customer service on 088-2100100. For Ghent, we need to ask permission to drive into the city owing to environmental rules. That's why we need to tell Ghent 24 hours in advance that a car will be coming to the city. If we don't do that, we'll be fined €150.

You can also get by more cheaply with the Langer Weg ('Longer Stay') rates. This way, you'll pay a fixed but lower rate for using a car for a day, a week or a weekend. You can read more about how that works here.

There are a few other conditions for travelling abroad:

The refuelling card won't work abroad, so you'll need to fill up yourself and send the refuelling receipt to us using the contact form.

If you break down on the road, you can call upon the ANWB Roadside Assistance just as you would in the Netherlands. We can be contacted 24 hours a day on: 088-2100100 to co-ordinate this together. From abroad, you can call +31-10-4113121 (international rate, prices will differ per country).

When settling the damages in the event of a collision, you may be asked for proof of insurance or the green card, as it's known. In this case, we can send these details to the applicable insurer or police station.

You can find more practical information on tolls, traffic rules, travel documents and other matters on the ANWB's website (in Dutch).

You can extend it before or during the trip, i.e. until the period you reserved has elapsed. You can't do this if someone else has reserved the car after you, though.

You can change or cancel a reservation for free up to one hour before the reserved period begins. You can't cancel or reduce it after that, and you'll pay for the time for which you've reserved the car.

You can change or cancel your reservation using the reservation system on our website or mobile website, the iOS/Android app or by calling our customer service on 088-2100100. You can also use the on-board computer to extend your reservation.

Yes, without a reservation you can not open the car. 

It is possible to book a Greenwheels car from 15 minutes.

Choose your start date and time and end date and time via the website. At the bottom of the calendar, you can choose one of the road trips: day, weekend, or week. When you have chosen the desired package, the times are automatically processed. For the weekend road trip, the days and times are fixed. The other two options are based on the number of hours and can be selected for any day and time of the week. Please note that your day trip will consist of 24 hours and your week trip 7x 24 hours. Read the exact details below.

You can reserve the road trip rates via the Greenwheels app, but you must set the time of your choice yourself. As soon as you choose a reservation of 24 hours, you will see 'Day away' appear when calculating the estimated costs.

Please note, the prices apply as soon as you have reserved the minimum number of hours.
Day away = 24 hours (starts whenever you want)
Weekend away = starts on Friday at 4:00 PM and ends on Monday at 10:00 AM
Week away = 7 x 24 hours (when you want)

There are no discounts on the rates per kilometer.

We want to make sure you have an active and official driver’s license because our insurance only covers drivers that have an official driver’s license. Besides that, we check whether the license you provided is actually yours by matching the photo on the license with your video.

Onfido is a company that verifies official documents. By using automated checks they are able to tell whether the document is forged or not. The exchange of information between Onfido and Greenwheels is done in accordance of GDPR.

As well as locking and unlocking the car with the app, you can also use a linked OV chipcard or a Greenwheels card. If you choose the Greenwheels card, there's a one-off fee of €25. This makes the card your property and you don't have to return it to us if you unsubscribe later. You can link your OV chipcard for free.

When you pay Greenwheels charges with a credit card, only a reservation of the deposit will be withheld from your credit card. This means that the spending limit of your credit card will be temporarily reduced. If you choose to pay by automatic bank transfer (IBAN) during your registration, you will pay the deposit of € 225 immediately. You pay the deposit during your registration.

If you are the main driver of the subscription, you can view your invoices in your profile under 'Invoices' (via the app under 'Settings'). If you don't see this, chances are you are a driver of a subscription and not the main driver. Therefore, ask the main driver if you want to view an invoice.

The rates are:

- Hourly rate: € 8.40 per hour

- Mileage rate: Maximum of € 92 per day for 80 kilometers free
Above 80 kilometers you pay € 0.30 per kilometer.
(incl. gasoline)

- There are no fixed subscription costs

No, not necessarily. The prices in the app and website when you make a reservation are an indication of what a ride will cost you. The indication is based on the number of hours you book the car and an estimated number of kilometers that are usually driven. After your ride, the final costs will be calculated based on the actual number of kilometers driven. If you have used the car longer than booked this will also be charged. This amount is stated on the invoice.

You can make the estimate more concrete by clicking on the calculator when looking for your car and entering your expected kilometers. Keep in mind that this may still differ slightly from what is ultimately on the invoice.

We use the current fuel prices as a basis for this. With the current subscriptions (Sometimes, Regular, Often) the petrol prices are included in the kilometer price. For other subscriptions, the fuel is paid in advance by Greenwheels and subsequently charged per kilometer driven. That is based on a fuel allowance per kilometer and per car type, which is adjusted quarterly based on the fuel prices at that time.

Greenwheels has the option to adjust prices at the beginning of January / April / July / October.

When you sign up with Greenwheels, we'll ask you for a deposit of €225. If you choose your credit card as a payment method, we'll reserve this amount on your card. For iDeal, the amount will be debited as a one-off. If you unsubscribe, you'll get this back, as long as you've kept up all your payments.

You can read more about the deposit here.

There is no starting rate for the current subscriptions: Sometimes, Regularly, Often.

For the subscriptions: 1- or 2-year private subscription, Greenwheels 0 Zero, and Business Basic, a starting rate of € 2.95 per reservation applies. The starting rate can be found on the invoice under the heading 'reservation costs'.

When you unsubscribe from Greenwheels, you will receive the deposit back 8 weeks after the end date of your subscription. The condition is that you have made all your payments, if not, we will transfer the outstanding amounts to the deposit. If your credit card had your payment method, the reservation on your credit card is automatically canceled and at iDeal we will refund the amount to your corresponding account.

We adhere to a period of 8 weeks because traffic fines can still be received within this period.

You can read more about the deposit here.

Reservations that you make yourself via the website or app are always for free.

Reservation costs are calculated when a reservation is made or changed by a Greenwheels employee, for example when you have called or sent an e-mail for this. The costs for this are € 2 each time. Customers with a subscription before October 1, 2012 pay € 1 at a time. The reservation costs for all business customers are € 0.84 (excl. VAT) each time. Reservation costs also include the starting rate (valid for subscriptions concluded between 1-10-2012 and 4-9-2013).

Monthly costs
Depending on your subscription, you may or may not pay a monthly subscription fee. The higher these costs, the lower the usage rates.

If you want to close the car, click on 'end your trip' and then swipe down. If you open the car with the app, you do not have to enter a pin code on the on-board computer. If you open the car with a card, you still have to enter your pin code. Every Greenwheels customer can make use of this. The speed at which the car opens has to do with your internet connection. Sometimes it can take a few seconds after clicking the 'open car' button and the car actually opening.

It might be the case that the refuelling card doesn't work or isn't supported by the petrol station where you refuelled the Greenwheels car. In that case, you can pay the amount yourself and declare these expenses to us. We'll deduct the expenses from the next invoice.

You can declare your expenses by uploading a copy of the refuelling receipt through My Profile or on our contact form.

You can do this within Europe without further permission.

If you're leaving Europe, you'll need to ask for permission for this when making your reservation. You need to report your journey abroad 24 hours in advance using the contact form. If you're making your journey within 24 hours or if you're going to Ghent in Belgium, then please call our customer service on 088-2100100.

You can find more practical information on tolls, traffic rules, travel documents and other matters on the ANWB's website (in Dutch).

You can extend it before or during the trip, i.e. until the period you reserved has elapsed. You can't do this if someone else has reserved the car after you, though.

You can change or cancel a reservation for free up to one hour before the reserved period begins. You can't cancel or reduce it after that, and you'll pay for the time for which you've reserved the car.

You can change or cancel your reservation using the reservation system on our website or mobile website, the iOS/Android app or by calling our customer service on 088-2100100. You can also use the on-board computer to extend your reservation.

The Greenwheels e-Golfs can be found at Rotterdam Central and at various locations in The Hague. These are parking spaces with a charging station. During a stopover, we recommend that you always park at a charging station so that you can recharge during your trip. Find the nearest and available charging stations here.

Because the e-Golf is fully electric, it is important that the car will always be connected to a charging station again. Take the following actions if the parking spot is not available: 

- Find a parking spot with a charging station nearby the original location. Use the charging card to activate it. 

- Please contact us to let us know that the parking spot is not available and where you have parked the car. 

The following applies to the e-Golf: The charging cable is yellow and has two ends, one for the car and the other end for the charging station.

Disconnecting the charging station works as follows:
1. Take the charge card and key from the board computer;
2. Bring the charging card along and remove the charging cable from the charging station;
3. Click on the disconnect sign on the car key to remove the charging cable from the car;
4. Close the charging cover of the car;
5. Place the charging cable in the trunk;
And you are ready to go!

At the end of the journey or when you make a stopover, the car must be connected to a charging station.
You activate charging by following these steps:
1. Take the charge card from the board computer;
2. Then take the charging cable from the trunk;
3. Press the charging cover on the side of the car and place the charger in the car;
4. Then place the other end of the charging cable on the charging station;
5. Follow the instructions on the charging station to activate charging with your charge card;
6. Check the loaded start. You can see this because the charging station takes on the correct color. You will also see the activation of the screen in the dashboard in the car, which displays the charging time and a green plug.

Always park the car in the designated place at the end of your trip. Do you want to fast charge? Do not use the charging cable of the car to do this, but you choose the correct plug, CCS, of the charging station and you can then connect this to the car.

For instruction videos on driving with an electric Greenwheels, click here.

Recharging at a Fastned fastcharging point works as follows:

1. Remove the charge card from the board computer;
2. Open the car cover and remove the extra cap;
3. Follow the instructions on the Fastned panel and select the CCS plug when using the e-Golf;
4. After payment, put the plug in the car;
5. The panel shows the expected charging time. Put the plug back into the Fastned charger when the car is charged;
6. Click the disconnect mark on the car key to remove the charging cable from the car. Close the flip and you are ready to continue your trip.

For instruction videos on fastcharging with an electric Greenwheels, click here.

The closest Fastned fast charging points where you can charge the car with the charging card can be found here. Note: you will use a CCS-plug that are available at Fastned instead of the plug of the car.

You start the e-Golf by holding the brake (left pedal) with your right foot. Then you put the key in the ignition and turn the key. The car does not make any noise, unlike non-electric cars. By releasing the handbrake with the [p] and placing the clutch of the automatic transmission in the desired position, you can drive off.

For videos on how to disconnect an electric Greenwheels, click here.

The range of the e-Golf is approximately 250 km. How quickly these kilometers decrease depends on the weather conditions, your driving style, and selected factors in the car such as air conditioning or heating. We recommend recharging when there is still 50 km on the dashboard.

For instruction videos on driving with an electric Greenwheels, click here.

Yes, you can use the charge card which can be found in the car at every public charging station. 

Charging a completely empty battery takes about 4.5 hours. However, the battery will almost never be completely empty, so charging will be completed more quickly. Fast charging takes about 15 minutes to half an hour.

If you have reserved a car as a Greenwheels customer, a friend of a family member who is also a Greenwheels customer (but not a driver of your subscription) is allowed to drive the car, as long as the Greenwheels customer who reserved the car is also present in the car. Good to know if you want to go for a long drive, a weekend away, or for holidays. Is the other not a Greenwheels customer or driver on your subscription? Then it is unfortunately not possible, because we were unable to verify the driver's license.

If the reserved parking space at an issue point on the street is occupied, then please take the following steps:

1. Park the car as close to the reserved parking space as possible. Please note: try to park in a normal parking space in the same licensed area, i.e. not in a disabled parking space, taxi rank, where there's temporary signage (e.g. for roadworks), loading or unloading points or on the pavement.
2. If you park in a paid parking area, then please check the licence information in the car folder to see if you're within this area.
3. Always call us directly to let us know where you left the car.

That will help us inform any subsequent customers and the municipality.

That is allowed, as long as the car is left clean. Always transport your pet on a rug so that the next driver can expect a clean car. If a car is not clean, a cleaning fee of € 25 will be charged.

Yes, you should always return the Greenwheels car to the location where you picked it up at the start of your reservation. Every Greenwheels car has its own reserved parking spot. If the parking spot if not available, park the car as closeby as possible and contact us. 

This can be done in two ways:

1. Open the car with the app. When your reservation starts, open the app. You click on your upcoming reservation on the main screen. Click on 'Start your ride' and swipe up to open the car. If you want to close the car, click on 'end your trip' and then swipe down. The app is available for Android and iOS.

2. Open the car with your linked OV chip card or Greenwheels card. You do this by holding your card in front of the box behind the windshield. The car opens automatically. You close again in the same way.

Make sure you always have your card with you in case the car does not open with the app.

No, you use the physical car key to safely lock and open the car during a stopover. 

You can request the PIN code for the refuelling card via the on-board computer. When you switch off the engine, the on-board computer will give you 3 options and you choose option 3 here – refuelling. A message will then appear: Use the refuelling card to pay. You can take the refuelling card from the on-board computer. The PIN code will then appear on the on-board computer's display. Don't forget to note the mileage as well as the PIN code on your phone. That's because you'll need to enter this when you pay with the refuelling card.

We're sorry this has happened to you and we hope you're OK! Please call our customer services any time you have suffered or caused damage during your trip. There are a number of other things you must do:

You have caused damage to your car and no other road users were involved:

You hit a pole or a tree, for example.

o Take one or more pictures of the situation and the car. Make sure the registration number is visible, where possible.

o Report the damage using the app or by calling customer services.

o Is the damage burglary or theft-related? Then please report it to the police at www.politie.nl/en

o Are you unable to continue driving? Then please talk this through with customer services.

You have caused or suffered damage involving a third party (another road user):

o Take some pictures of the situation, the car, and the other party's car. Make sure the registration number is visible in your picture too. We need these pictures for the claim file.

o Complete the European Accident Statement along with the other party. You will find the claim form in the car. If you can't find the form, you can complete this online claim form (NL, can be edited online). Here you can find an English claim form (which can be printed to edit)

o Make sure to include the pictures when sending in the European Accident Statement. Please send the form to:

Greenwheels
Afdeling Schade
Antwoordnummer 60103
3060 VB Rotterdam

Alternatively, you can send it by e-mail to schade@greenwheels.nl. Make sure to include the date, the vehicle registration number, and/or the claim number shown in the app when using the app to report it.

o Always report the damage using the app or by calling customer services. You can then send the photos, the claim form, and details of the damage by e-mail to schade@greenwheels.nl.

Greenwheels will contact you to discuss the next steps in the process. Depending on the situation, this may take several days or up to a few weeks. If you have any questions or if anything is unclear, you can contact us by e-mail or telephone about the damage in question.

Before your car trip, we ask you to check the car for damage. If a damage is not yet known in the damage in the app, you indicate this overview to your trip in the app or with the customer service. If damage to the body of the car, for example a dent or a scratch, is smaller than a bank card, you do not have to report this. Because Greenwheels can check what time the car was started and what time the call was made, we know for sure that the damage was not caused by you. If you do not do this and the damage cannot be traced back afterwards, you may be fined or your deductible may be charged for damage. It would be annoying if this happens when it is not your fault. So report it as indicated in the app.

Emergency or damage? Call 088 2100 100.

If necessary, please call 112 for an ambulance, the police or the fire brigade too.

Find a safe spot for the car and yourself. On the motorway, for example, you must always stay behind the crash barrier. Call Greenwheels for breakdown assistance. You can reach us 24/7 via 088 2100 100. Our emergency services will start working on a solution right away.

In the event of damage during your ride, the deductible per claim is € 350 * as the standard. You have the option to lower your deductible to € 75 for € 4 per reservation. 

Log in to My Profile. Go to 'Excess' and select your excess package. By clicking you immediately confirm your choice. By buying off the excess you have a lower standard excess.

Please note: if you stop the excess package and switch it on again later, the excess package that is offered at that time applies.

* For older contracts, an excess of € 225 applies.

All users must check the car for damage before their trip. Do you see damage that is not yet reported? Add it as new damage in the app or call us to report this damage. If the damage to the body of the car is smaller than a bank card, for example a dent or a scratch, you do not have to report this. Our fleet checkers regularly check our cars for damage and ensure that it will be fixed.

The excess has been completely bought off for NS-Business Card holders. So NO excess will be charged to you, unless there is gross negligence on the part of you or a passenger. For more information, see article 12.2 of the Greenwheels general terms and conditions.

If you rent a car and the car is damaged or stolen, then the deductible is that what you have to pay for a claim.

For damage during your ride, the deductible per claim is € 350. You have the option to lower your deductible to € 75 for € 4 per reservation. A deductible of € 225 applies to older contracts.

You can adjust this deductible on the Greenwheels website. You do this in your Account environment via My Profile and My subscription.

Traffic fines are always forwarded to the driver of the car. An administration fee of € 10.00 is also charged per ticket.

You can access and use the Greenwheels claim form here.

Attach the completed form to an e-mail and send it to schade@greenwheels.nl.
