Exclusive ISIC discounts on car sharing in Germany & Europe
With car sharing, you can also enjoy flexibility and ISIC discounts – without the need for long rental periods or fixed locations. Ideal for day trips, spontaneous shopping trips or a weekend away with friends in another city.
Miles Car Sharing: €15 starting credit
Car sharing is an attractive alternative to traditional car hire, particularly for spontaneous trips or short journeys. With Miles Car Sharing, you’ll receive €15 starting credit when you use your ISIC card. What makes Miles special is that you pay per kilometre rather than per minute – making it ideal for city driving or when you need to park for longer periods. Miles operates in many major German cities and offers a wide range of vehicles – from nippy small cars to vans.
Free2move: €10 starting credit + free registration
Free2move also offers ISIC cardholders a particularly attractive way to get started with car sharing. You’ll receive a €10 starting credit and also save on the registration fee. The service combines car hire, car sharing and e-scooters in a single app, making it particularly handy if you want to use different mobility options flexibly – not just in Germany, but also in many other European cities.
What you should keep in mind when it comes to car hire and car sharing
Before you set off, it’s worth comparing different providers and prices. Platforms such as DiscoverCars.com are particularly useful for finding transparent deals. The earlier you book, the cheaper the price is likely to be – especially during holiday periods and for popular destinations.
Insurance is a crucial point. Make sure you check in advance whether comprehensive cover and theft protection are included. This will protect you from unpleasant surprises and additional costs. Also pay attention to the fuel policy: the fair ‘full-to-full’ rule means that you collect the car with a full tank and return it the same way – this way you avoid extra charges for refuelling.
Before you set off, you should carefully check the vehicle for any existing damage. It’s best to take photos of any scratches, dents or other imperfections as soon as you collect the car and document everything with the rental company. This can save you from any disputes later on. Cleanliness is also important: returning the car in a clean condition will save you any potential cleaning costs.
If you’re travelling abroad, make sure you find out about the traffic rules in the country you’re visiting beforehand. You should also check parking options in advance, particularly in city centres, where parking can quickly become expensive or complicated. Also, make sure you stick to the agreed return time – returning the car late may result in high additional charges.
Why a rental car is so handy when travelling
A rental car offers you a level of freedom that buses and trains simply can’t match. You’re not tied to a timetable, so you can change your plans at a moment’s notice or make extra stops – whether at a lake, a tourist attraction or a small village off the beaten track. Especially if you’re travelling with a group, a hire car is often even cheaper than other forms of transport. You travel more comfortably and flexibly, and can stow your luggage safely without having to lug it around all the time.
