Hi there. We’re Zipcar, the world’s leading car-sharing network, driven to make cities better places to live.
We started with a simple but brilliant idea: get more people sharing cars than owning them. 26 years later, we're still on a mission to enable simple and responsible urban living by providing cars on demand to members.
We have a serious crush on cars, but our big love is for people. We want to scratch the frustrations, intimidations, and doubts from the used car buying equation.
Look at us, speaking of love before properly introducing ourselves. Well, we’re a bunch of tech geeks, marketing magicians and car lovers on a joint mission to build a flawless online used car buying experience. Simple as that. We’re also a growing international team with big ambitions. Our home is based in the heart of Amsterdam, while we have offices and stores across Europe.
Our history and purpose
In 1995 Greenwheels started car sharing service in The Netherlands with the ambition to make streets more liveable by reducing stationary cars on the street and improve the efficiency of car usage. A recent study (vananaare.nl) shows that every new Greenwheels member takes 14 cars off the street and every Greenwheels car is being shared by approximately 30 active drivers.
Our locations
A lot of people and businesses have joined our platform. Nowadays they share almost 2.800 cars in The Netherlands, making us the #1 car sharing company here.
Customers
We serve private customers across The Netherlands. We also provide car sharing services to businesses and organisations, which a portfolio containing freelancers, SME's and a few of the biggest corporations in the Netherlands. There's the option to make use of our public fleet (cars on the streets), as well as their 'own' cars that can be shared amongst company employees only.
