Car sharing and more
Car sharing
Holders of an RMV annual season ticket are able to take part in the car sharing system at favourable terms.
Our partners are based in many towns and cities in the RMV network area. Many different types of vehicles are available – from small cars to vans (these addresses lead to a website in German):
book-n-drive is the largest Carsharing provider in the Rhein-Main region and also offers its customers-the option of using vehicles from DB Flinkster as well; quickly and easily without registration. This cooperation makes more than 4,000 vehicles available to the book-n-drive customers throughout Germany.
Your travelling becomes even more flexible with the Carsharing vehicles from book-n-drive: Approximately 1,000 vehicles can be rented at 260 locations in the entire RMV area. This guarantees the right vehicle for all tastes and occasions.
A special treat awaits holders of the eTicket RheinMain upon registration: They start off with a 30.00 Euro travel credit, which equals approx. 150 free kilometres including costs for petrol. You can freely choose which fare you prefer and registration in the Basic fare is even free of charge.
If you are interested in this additional option, simply register at www.book-n-drive.de/rmv. In order to have your driving licence checked and to sign the user contract, please visit one of the RMV Mobility Centres in Darmstadt, Frankfurt, Mainz, Offenbach or Wiesbaden or book-n-drive’s central Service Office Rhein-Main in Frankfurt.

You would also like to use your eTicket RheinMain outside of the RMW area? No problem, as long as you are willing to hit the street. Although it is then no longer valid as a ticket, it is still the key to Flinkster Carsharing vehicles and therefore, you can be (auto)mobile all over Germany.
Approximately 4,000 vehicles, including environmentally-friendly electric vehicles, can be rented at locations in more than 140 German cities. So you can be sure that your trip will not end prematurely at the train station.
If you are registered at book-n-drive, you also have the option of using the Flinkster vehicles; quickly and easily without additional registration.
You can book and reserve Carsharing vehicles quickly and easily online on your home PC via flinkster.de, by phoning the booking hotline or using the app on your smartphone.
