Rent your neighbour’s car with SnappCar

Not owning a car in the Netherlands is great - until you want to go away for a weekend, need to move your stuff or have to take a quick trip between cities.

That’s why SnappCar created the perfect car-sharing platform!

Rent your neighbour’s car

SnappCar offers local car rental that is easy, affordable and hassle-free by connecting people who need a car with neighbours who rent theirs out.

By providing access to many different cars that are conveniently close, SnappCar helps you to enjoy special or everyday activities while keeping your life simple.

Rent the car that fits your needs

Why own a car when you can choose from dozens of different ones from the people who live around you? This way you can find and rent a vehicle that fits your needs:
› rent a moving van
› rent a camper van
› rent a convertible for the summer
› rent a hatchback for a weekend off
› rent a Tesla and try an electrical vehicle
› rent a vintage car for a special occasion

Many car owners allow renters to take their car to other countries so you can use SnappCar to visit France, Belgium, Germany and beyond.

A growing network

SnappCar has more than 150.000 members in the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and Sweden.

Founded in 2011 by Victor van Tol and Pascal Ontijd, SnappCar is the biggest car-sharing platform with insurance in the Netherlands, and the fastest growing in Europe.

Making change

On average eight million cars are parked for 23 hours per day in the Netherlands. Why not put them to use? If we share our cars more often, we need fewer cars in general.

SnappCar also wants to support positive environmental and social change and has set a mission for 2018: to reduce cars in Europe by 1 percent through car-sharing.
