If you use wheego RENT, you can reserve your vehicle via our wheego-mobility.com website, by phone or directly at one of our wheego stations. A rental at wheego RENT is only possible within the opening hours. You will receive the vehicle key from our wheego employees, who will also hand over and explain your wheego vehicle to you.

With wheego SHARE you do everything via the wheego APP. As soon as you have successfully registered, you can book and rent our wheego cars and vans around the clock, 365 days a year. So you are completely independent of opening hours and simply open your booked wheego vehicle in the wheego app.

At wheego you can currently choose between 9 different vehicle groups and book the right vehicle for your needs:

e-Micro, Economy, Compact, Mid-size, Estate, Transporter mini, Transporter small, Transporter and Transporter tarpaulin

We are constantly working on providing the right vehicle groups for your needs and will inform you promptly about innovations such as minibuses or convertibles, other electric vehicles, e-cars or hybrid vehicles as well as luxury vehicles. Subscribe to our wheego newsletter so that you don't miss any news and always stay informed.

Does wheego RENT also offer vans?

Yes, we also have many vans in our fleet for you.

For smaller transports such as a washing machine, dryer or refrigerator, we recommend our "Transporter mini" vehicle group. Here you can get an Opel Combo or a Toyota Proace, for example.

For somewhat larger transports, it is best to opt for the "small van" group and get a Ford Transit Custom, for example.

For larger transports and removals, it is best to book the "Transporter" group and then rent a Peugeot Boxer, for example.

Our "Transporter tarpaulin" group also offers you plenty of space and many loading options. Here, for example, you drive an Opel Movano flatbed curtainsider (3.5 t).

No matter whether you want to make larger purchases at Ikea or a DIY store and pack directly into the wheego transporter or need a removal van - at wheego you are guaranteed to find a suitable transporter for you at a reasonable price.

What is included with wheego RENT?

Your rental price includes a more extensive inclusive mileage package. This is 25 free kilometers per hour or up to 500 free kilometers per day.

Your wheego RENT offer also includes service, maintenance, taxes, insurance, GEZ, tires, statutory inspections such as general inspection/emission test (AU/HU) and the loss of value due to normal use of the vehicle. This also includes all naturally occurring signs of use such as tire and brake wear as well as any necessary workshop appointments for tire and oil changes. If you are involved in an accident with your wheego car, we will of course take care of settling the claim with the insurance company.

To ensure that you as a driver are always legally compliant and roadworthy on the road, the wheego Fleet Angels always take care of the condition of the wheego fleet and thus ensure that your wheego car or wheego van is equipped with sufficient oil, AdBlue, other operating materials and, of course, seasonally with tires suitable for winter. This ensures that your wheego experience can always run to your complete satisfaction, even in ice and snow.

The wheego claims hotline is available for you around the clock 24/7. If you have an accident, it is imperative that you inform us immediately. We will provide you with the number of the wheego damage hotline before handing over your wheego vehicle. Please always inform the police in the event of an accident or damage - regardless of whether third parties have been harmed or not. If the police inform you that they refuse to record an accident, you must request written confirmation of this from the police and hand this over to wheego when you return the vehicle. This is the only way to ensure that the fully comprehensive insurance applies and that you are only liable within the scope of the excess.

What is the procedure in the event of damage?

You can also rely on wheego in the event of damage. Our own claims management team is available around the clock to support you and help you organize the next steps.
You will receive the number of the damage hotline from us when you rent the vehicle. Please always call the police in the event of an accident in order to clarify the question of fault properly.
Depending on the claim (accident or warranty claim), we will check whether or not you are required to pay an excess. The amount of the excess depends on the wheego vehicle model booked. This is €15,000.00 per claim for micro cars and all car groups and €20,000.00 for vans.

What does the liability insurance for your wheego RENT vehicle cover?

Motor vehicle liability insurance covers damage that you as a driver cause to other people, their property or assets.

What does the fully comprehensive insurance for your wheego RENT vehicle cover?

Fully comprehensive insurance also includes the benefits of partially comprehensive insurance. This means that you are insured for damage that is not your fault, e.g. if your car is stolen or in the event of storm damage such as storms or lightning strikes. You are also insured for damage and accidents caused by your own fault. A deductible is required for each accidental damage claim.

What is not covered by fully comprehensive insurance?

Comprehensive insurance does not cover damage caused by loss of keys, fuel cards or documents (e.g. vehicle registration certificate). In addition, fully comprehensive insurance does not cover punctures. Therefore, wheego vehicles are equipped with spare tires or tire kits.

How does the deductible work with wheego?

If you have an accident or cause damage yourself, this is covered by comprehensive insurance. A deductible is then charged for each claim, plus a processing fee of €50 and the cost of an expert opinion. The amount of the deductible depends on the wheego vehicle group booked.

Can I reduce the deductible?

The amount of the excess depends on the wheego vehicle group booked. For micro cars and all car groups, this is € 15,000.00 per claim and € 20,000.00 for vans.
You have the option of reducing your excess to up to €0.00 by booking a protection package. The minimum age for the Premium protection package for vans is 24 years.
You can book a protection package both on the wheego website and at the wheego rental stations before the start of the rental period.
Please refer to our price list for the prices of the individual protection packages.

What damages will be settled at the end of my rental?

Your wheego rental rate includes signs of wear and tear such as minor scratches on door handles or in the interior. Naturally occurring signs of wear and tear, such as tire and brake wear, are also included. After the subscription expires, scratches that need to be painted, dents that need to be pressed out or stone chips that need to be repaired will be charged. For each claim, you will be charged a maximum of the agreed excess plus a claims handling fee of €50.

What happens if I get a parking ticket?

Traffic tickets are first sent to our wheego service team and we are obliged to provide information to the responsible authorities. You will then be contacted directly by the authorities. We charge a fee of €32 for processing.

We charge a fee for this service, which you can find in the wheego APP or in the cost and fee schedule, depending on the vehicle category: www.wheego-mobility.com/de/agb#agb-share

Where can I reserve or rent a wheego SHARE vehicle?

On your wheego APP you can either rent different vehicles digitally 24/7 or reserve them classically for wheego RENT. Different areas are marked on the app, these areas are called business areas. There can be a different number of business areas in a region, city or at the sharing parking lots of the respective airports. In these business areas, you can reserve the vehicle when you no longer need it, park it and end the rental. We are working on expanding our business areas and you will always receive the latest information on your wheego APP.

4. during the rental period

How do I charge the YOYO?

You will find the charging connection on the YOYO at the front of the vehicle behind the flap above the bumper. You open this flap by pulling the lever twice at the bottom left of the footwell on the driver's side. Please note that the hand/foot brake must be pressed and the selector switch must be set to "N" for charging.

Do I have to refuel/charge the wheego vehicle before returning it?

You receive our vans on a full/full principle. This means a full tank of gas when you rent the vehicle and a full tank when you return it. In the case of cars, we do not expect you to refuel or recharge your wheego vehicle after every rental. However, please make sure that the wheego vehicle is refueled with at least 25% or that the electric vehicle is charged with at least 25% when you return it. Please also note that you do not have to pay for the fuel you fill up and the electricity you charge yourself. You simply use the wheego fuel and charging card in the vehicle and refuel at one of our partner filling stations or charge at the approved charging stations. If you return your wheego vehicle with a tank content of less than 25% or a charge level of less than 25%, we charge a fee because we have to refuel the vehicle ourselves before the next customer can use it. See our cost and fee schedule: https://www.wheego-mobility.com/de/agb-mobile#kosten-share

Can I transport my pet in my wheego car?

In principle, you may transport your pet in your wheego car. However, you must make sure that the animal does not leave any dirt, hair or scratch marks behind. You will have to pay for the special cleaning and removal of traces yourself.

For safety reasons, we also recommend always using a transport box and placing it in the trunk.

We would like to point out that animals must be adequately secured during transportation and that you must provide a suitable securing device in the form of a transport box, belt or separating grid and use it during the journey.

Can I smoke in the wheego car?

Smoking is not permitted in wheego cars.
If you do so anyway, we will have to charge you for the costs of special cleaning, removal of traces and loss of use. See our cost and fee schedule: www.wheego-mobility.com/de/agb-mobile#kosten-share

Can I drive abroad with my wheego vehicle?

Yes, you can also use your wheego vehicle outside of Germany. Please note that you are only allowed to enter the following countries with your wheego car or van: Andorra, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Finland, France, Greece, Great Britain, Italy, Ireland, Iceland, Croatia, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Czech Republic and Hungary. Please note that driving on highways in some countries is subject to charges (tolls). You have to pay these yourself.

Can I make one-way trips with wheego?

The return of your wheego vehicle in another business area is possible for an additional fee. The amount of the fee can be found in the current cost and fee schedule: www.wheego-mobility.com/de/agb#agb-share. There is no additional one-way fee for journeys between our city zones and the associated airports (e.g. Berlin - BER, Hamburg - HAM, Düsseldorf - DUS etc.). Our vans are only available on a station basis, i.e. rental and return at the same location. No one-way trips are possible here.

Where can I find the charging cable in my electric vehicle?

In our wheego electric vehicles you will find the charging cable for the socket connection and/or a charging cable for fast charging in the trunk. At public charging points, you can charge the vehicle using the fuel and charging card from the glove compartment without having to pay for it yourself.

If you still have questions, you will find a brief and precise explanation of how charging works in your vehicle's operating instructions.

At which charging stations can I charge wheego electric vehicles?

You will find the charging card in the key/card holder in the glove compartment of the wheego vehicle. You can use it to charge your wheego vehicle at more than 40,000 charging stations in the DKV network throughout Germany at our expense.

Refueling and charging included for cars - how does it work?

We provide you with our DKV Tank & Ladekarte for refueling our share cars. You will find the fuel & charge card in the keyholder of the vehicle. The PIN is displayed in the "Refuel / Charge" app function during the rental.

Like all card payment systems, the DKV card is only valid in the participating DKV petrol station network. Although we cover around 99% of all petrol stations in Germany with DKV, please make sure that your chosen petrol station accepts the DKV card as a means of payment before filling up. If this is not the case, we will refund the fuel you have paid for. For the refund, please send us an e-mail immediately with the fuel receipt as a PDF or photo (in the usual image format jpg., png), a photo of the wheego vehicle as it is at the gas station on which the license plate is visible, as well as a photo of the fuel gauge (you can find it in the display of the dashboard when the ignition is switched on), the name of the renter, and your bank details (name of the bank & IBAN) to [email protected]. The refund will be made by bank transfer, subject to verification of the refueling process. Please note that for refueling without our DKV card and not due to a technical error on our part, the transfer will be made minus a processing fee. See our cost and fee schedule https://www.wheego-mobility.com/de/agb-mobile#kosten-share

Where can I park my wheego vehicle for return?

When parking, always make sure that you are not obstructing anyone, pay attention to the relevant road signs and always observe the road traffic regulations.

This also applies to traffic bans, such as temporary parking bans due to weekly markets, events or parades.

What do I have to do if I want to park the wheego SHARE vehicle for a break?

If you park your wheego vehicle for a break during your booking, use the key (vehicles without a start-stop button) or the app to temporarily lock it. The rental will then continue as normal and you can resume your journey at any time. If you want to end your journey in the wheego business area for good, put the key back in the key holder in the glove compartment, lock the vehicle using the wheego app and end your rental in the app.

5. upon return

What do I need to bear in mind when ending the rental?

In order to provide our customers with vehicles that can be planned and reserved, we have defined business areas. Therefore, you can only return your vehicle and end the rental in the defined business areas. If you return and end the rental outside our business area, you will incur additional charges. The costs depend on the cost of returning the vehicle to the business area.

A successful termination of the rental is only possible if a secure and stable mobile connection to the vehicle can be established at the vehicle's return location and the vehicle is located within a zone of the business area approved for return. Within the business area, the vehicle can be returned either to a free parking space not marked by a stopping or parking ban on public roads or to specially marked private parking spaces. Only park in areas with a day or time-related restriction on parking authorization (e.g. stopping bans with additional signs such as "7:00 - 17:00" or "Monday 6:00 - 12:00") if the restriction only comes into effect 48 hours after the vehicle has been parked. This also applies to traffic bans, such as temporary parking bans due to weekly markets, events or parades.

Before the end of the rental, you will be asked to take 4 photos in the app to document the condition of the vehicle. Please make sure that the photos are meaningful and that the vehicle's license plate number is visible.

You automatically initiate the end of your rental process when you park your wheego vehicle, return the key, fuel and charging card (car) to the key holder provided in the glove compartment, lock the windows and doors and the 4 vehicle photos have been taken. You can then simply end the rental via the wheego app. As soon as the central locking system of your wheego vehicle is closed, the rental is actually over. Please note that the termination of a rental of an electric vehicle cannot take place at a charging station, should you end your rental there, we will all incur costs that we want to avoid. See our cost and fee schedule: www.wheego-mobility.com/de/agb#agb-share

How does billing work with wheego SHARE?

At the beginning of the rental agreement, a deposit is reserved on the credit card on file. At the end of the rental, the total rental price is calculated and debited from the credit card as part of the deposit reservation.

What additional costs may I incur when returning the product?

We want our wheego products to be fair and transparent for you. That's why it's very important to us that you know all the costs that may be incurred. Depending on the rate you have booked, your rental price already includes various kilometer packages for hourly and daily rentals. For every kilometer that exceeds your booked inclusive kilometer package, you pay the cost of the additional kilometers according to the tariff. If you exceed the rental period you have booked, we will charge you for the additional rental period as well as the kilometers driven according to the minute rate. You will receive your wheego transporter on a full/full principle. This means a full tank when you rent it and a full tank when you return it. If you do not fill up before returning the wheego transporter, we will charge you for the fuel you have filled up plus an expense fee. You can find the fee in our current cost and fee schedule (www.wheego-mobility.com/de/agb#agb-share). In the case of cars, it is necessary that you return your wheego car with a tank content or, in the case of electric vehicles, with a charge level of at least 25%, so that the next wheego customer does not have to refuel/charge directly. You simply use the wheego fuel and charge card in the vehicle, refuel at one of our partner filling stations or charge at one of our charging stations. If the tank content/charge level of your wheego car is below 25%, we will have to charge you an expense fee. If the tank is almost empty when you return it, i.e. below ⅛ tank capacity, or the charge level is below 10%, the fee will increase, as we have to deploy staff for refueling or charging trips. In the event of a claim, we charge the claim costs up to a maximum of the agreed excess as well as a processing fee. In order to provide our customers with vehicles that can be planned and reserved, we have defined business areas. If you return and terminate the rental outside our business area, you will incur additional charges. The costs are based on the cost of returning the vehicle to the business area. For rentals at the airport, we charge a one-off fee of €9.90 (except minute rate). For rentals in the city and return at the corresponding airport (e.g. Berlin - BER, Hamburg - HAM, Düsseldorf - DUS etc.) the airport fee will also be charged. We have set out all possible costs that may arise for you in our current schedule of costs and charges (www.wheego-mobility.com/de/agb#agb-share).

What damages will be settled at the end of my rental?

Your wheego rental price includes signs of use such as minor scratches on door handles or in the interior. Naturally occurring signs of wear and tear, such as tire and brake wear, are also included. At the end of the rental period, scratches that need to be painted, dents that need to be pressed out or stone chips that need to be repaired will be charged. For each claim, you will be charged the damage determined by the expert opinion, limited to the agreed excess plus a claims handling fee. If the damage determined in the report is less than the agreed excess, we will also charge the costs of preparing the report. You can find the respective excess as well as the fees for processing and the costs for preparing an expert opinion in our current schedule of costs and fees (www.wheego-mobility.com/de/agb-mobile#kosten-share).

I can't finish the rent. How can I get help?

A successful termination of the rental is only possible if a secure and stable mobile connection to the vehicle can be established at the vehicle's return location and the vehicle is located within a zone of the business area approved for return.

If you are unable to complete the rental process as requested, please contact the wheego hotline immediately via the telephone button or 0203-570 777 79. You must also remain with the vehicle until wheego has informed you of the further procedure. If there is a technical problem for which you are not responsible, wheego will of course reimburse you immediately for any additional rental costs incurred. However, if you cannot end the rental because the fuel and charging card or the vehicle keys are not in the vehicle, or you have not closed the doors or windows, then your rental will continue.

Does the vehicle have to be clean when I return it?

Please leave your wheego vehicle at the end of the rental exactly as you would like to find it on your next trip. Please remove all soiling that you have caused during your rental and also remove all waste.
If we are able to assign major soiling or waste to your ride, we will have to charge you the cleaning fees.

(1) wheego Auto Abo - The concept and the advantages

What is special about the wheego car subscription?

You can rent, lease or buy a car - or now also subscribe. The wheego car subscription is the easiest and most uncomplicated way to get your vehicle and is particularly advantageous if you want full cost control and want to be mobile with little effort. And it's that simple: You simply pay the agreed monthly rate, which covers all services apart from the fuel costs. The car subscription is our "all-round carefree package" for your mobility. You no longer have to worry about insurance, taxes or maintenance. Regardless of whether you are a private or corporate customer, or whether you need one or more vehicles, we always have the right mobility solution for you. With wheego, you can always drive the car of your dreams without a long-term commitment and remain as flexible and optimally protected as possible.

What is included in the wheego car subscription?

Your fixed monthly wheego subscription price includes everything except refueling, i.e. the inclusive mileage package you have selected as well as all maintenance and wear and tear repairs required during the subscription period, tires (all-season tires), general inspection/exhaust emission test (HU/AU), warranty work, vehicle tax, GEZ fees, registration, and vehicle insurance. The car insurance includes the statutory liability insurance. In our general terms and conditions you will find detailed information about the additional costs you will incur as a driver that are not covered by the monthly contribution to wheego. These costs may include operating fluids (e.g. fuel, Adblue, windshield wiper fluid, etc.), public usage fees (e.g. tolls), fines and penalties (plus processing fees) and cleaning costs. The excess for wheego cars in the event of damage is €750 per claim, depending on the vehicle.

What exactly is included in my wheego Auto subscription?

Your wheego car subscription includes service, maintenance, taxes, insurance, GEZ, tires and the loss in value due to normal use of the vehicle - i.e. everything except refueling. This also includes all naturally occurring signs of use such as tire and brake wear as well as any necessary workshop appointments for tire and oil changes. If you are involved in an accident with your wheego car, we will of course take care of settling the claim with the insurance company. Your deductible per claim depends on the wheego subscription vehicle you have booked and is €750. You can find detailed information on this in our offers.

What fees apply?

In addition to the monthly subscription price, wheego may charge a deposit depending on your creditworthiness. The amount of the deposit is a maximum of three months' rent. If you wish to have your new wheego car delivered within Germany, we will charge the transportation costs additionally. Collection from our wheego hubs is free of charge for you.

(2) Conditions / Subscription term / Inclusive kilometers

How long is the contract term/minimum term?

Your minimum term is one month, after which you can return the vehicle at any time. In the event that you return it before the end of the month, we will invoice you on a daily basis. This ensures maximum transparency and fairness. You can choose between different term offers, depending on your personal needs. If you only need your wheego car for a short period of time, then our flexible 3-month offers are perfect for you. If you want to drive your wheego car for longer, you can choose the term package that suits you best, up to the particularly favorably priced 18-month variant.

How high are the costs for additional kilometers?

The price is usually between 0.15 €/km and 0.30 €/km incl. VAT, depending on the wheego vehicle type. You can find detailed information on the additional kilometer price of your wheego vehicle on the respective product pages of all offers.

How are excess or shortfall kilometers billed at the end of the term?

Excess mileage will be charged at the end of the term at the excess mileage rates agreed in the contract. Short mileage cannot be refunded. Unfortunately, the mileage package cannot be adjusted after the contract has been signed.

Can the terms stated on the website be adjusted?

The terms shown on the wheego offer pages cannot be shortened or extended. However, if you have concluded a follow-up contract with wheego for your next car subscription, we will try to enable you to make a transition without interruption.

What hidden costs will I incur?

The mileage package you have booked is included in your monthly subscription rate. Any additional kilometers over and above the agreed package will be billed cumulatively at the end of your rental period. The mileage at the time of return to our hubs counts. If you pick up the wheego vehicle at your home, the mileage at the time of handover to our transfer partner counts as the return mileage of your rental contract. You pay the agreed costs of the additional kilometers for each kilometer that exceeds your booked inclusive kilometer package. Every month you must report the current mileage of your subscription vehicle to wheego by email. We only need this mandatory information to check whether you are largely within the agreed mileage and, if necessary, to warn you of high additional mileage costs at the end of your subscription.

Can I take out a subscription with a non-German driver's license?

That's no problem at all, if you have a valid EU driver's license, you can take out a subscription with us.

In order to use the wheego subscription, you must have a German registration address, be between 18 and 75 years old and have held a valid driving license in the EU for at least two years (from the date of issue of the driving license). For wheego vehicles above the compact class as well as for all vans and commercial vehicles, a minimum age of 21 years applies. An additional fee may apply for drivers under the age of 23 (young driver fee).

Will my credit rating be checked?

Before you take out your wheego subscription for the first time, we carry out a credit check using Creditreform. Whether and in what amount a deposit is required depends on your creditworthiness. The amount of the deposit is a maximum of three months' rent.

Can I take out a wheego subscription with a non-German driver's license?

You can take out a subscription with us if you have an EU driver's license.

Is there a deposit in addition to the monthly rent for the car?

With wheego you get a car in mint condition. In order to prevent payment defaults and to be able to offer all customers a favorable monthly rental for the car, we check the creditworthiness before the first subscription rental. Depending on your creditworthiness, a deposit may be required. The amount of the deposit is up to 3 months' rent.

When will the deposit be debited?

If we require a deposit payment from you, this will be debited approximately 7 days before the start of the rental period.

When will my deposit be refunded after the subscription ends?

The refund of your deposit can take up to 14 working days. When you return your wheego vehicle, an independent, official online appraisal will be carried out. Any damage that has occurred during the term will be recorded here. The cost of repairing this damage will then be charged to you and, if applicable, offset against your deposit.

Can other drivers also use the rented wheego car?

You can add more drivers to your wheego subscription at any time. Like you, they must be between 18 and 75 years old and have held a valid driver's license for at least 2 years. Registration is uncomplicated and free of charge. You can easily register additional drivers by sending an email to [email protected]. Let us know your rental contract number and send us a copy of the front and back of the additional driver's license. Unfortunately, unregistered drivers are not allowed to use the wheego vehicle for insurance reasons.

What does it cost to register an additional driver?

The registration of additional drivers is free of charge at wheego. You can easily register additional drivers by sending an email to [email protected]. Let us know your rental contract number and send us a copy of the front and back of the additional driver's license. Please note that the same requirements apply for your additional drivers as for you: They must be between 18 and max. 75 years old and have held a valid driver's license for at least 2 years. The driver's license must also be a driver's license recognized in the EU. Drivers under the age of 23 may be subject to an additional fee, the Young Driver Fee.

How long does it take for my request to register (additional) additional drivers to be checked and confirmed?

Please allow 2-3 working days to check and confirm your additional drivers. Please note that the additional drivers are only authorized to use the rented wheego vehicle after written approval by the wheego team.

Where can I find my additional drivers that I have already registered via wheego customer service?

(5) Order status / delivery status

How long does it take until I receive my wheego car?

The majority of wheego vehicles are already waiting for you in stock and are therefore immediately available. The maximum waiting time is 1-2 weeks, depending on delivery.

What is the status of my order and delivery?

After your successful order, the wheego service team will inform you about the fastest possible delivery or handover date for your wheego car. In individual cases, this date may be postponed, as we are dependent on our suppliers, forwarding agents and registration services. Should a postponement of your appointment be necessary, the wheego service team will inform you immediately.

My delivery status has not yet been confirmed, what is the current status?

We will confirm the exact delivery or handover date of your wheego car as soon as we have received all the necessary information from our suppliers, carriers and registration services. This can take up to 2 working days from the time of your binding order.

(6) Handover / delivery / return

Can I pick up my wheego car myself?

You have the choice: When you place your order, you can decide whether you want to collect the car from one of our hubs yourself or whether we should deliver your wheego vehicle to your desired address. Unfortunately, it is no longer possible to change the delivery method agreed with you after you have placed your order, as we immediately instruct our logistics partners to ensure the fastest possible delivery.

How much will delivery to my desired location cost?

The delivery costs depend on the distance to your desired location. Delivery is carried out by one of our logistics partners with whom we have agreed the best conditions for you. The wheego team will inform you about the exact delivery costs when you place your order.

Where can I have my wheego car delivered?

We will deliver your new wheego car to your desired address within Germany. Unfortunately, delivery to islands is not possible.

What do I need for the handover?

The handover of your wheego vehicle takes about 20 to 30 minutes. Please have your valid driver's license and your original identity card ready.

Can another person take over the wheego vehicle for me?

Please contact our customer service directly ([email protected]) to find out whether it is possible for a third person to take over your wheego car.

What costs will I incur when returning the wheego car?

You have the choice of having your vehicle collected by one of our logistics partners or returning it to the wheego hubs free of charge. The costs for collection by a logistics partner depend on the distance. If you would like a pick-up, please contact the wheego service team. We will then inform you of the exact costs and arrange the collection. If the car is returned with damage that it did not have when it was handed over, you will be invoiced for the repair costs following a neutral expert opinion.

How do I return my wheego car?

You have two options for returning your wheego car subscription: A neutral appraiser appointed by us will make an appointment with you and prepare the vehicle condition report together with you online. All you need is your smartphone with a camera. The vehicle will then be collected from your home promptly by one of our logistics partners. There is a collection fee for this, which depends on the distance. Alternatively, you can return your vehicle to our hubs free of charge - within opening hours. The vehicle will then remain on site. Please allow between 30 and 60 minutes for the condition report.

When will my deposit be refunded after the subscription ends?

The refund of your deposit can take up to 14 working days. When you return your wheego vehicle, an independent, official online appraisal will be carried out. Any damage that has occurred during the term will be recorded here. The cost of repairing this damage will then be charged to you and, if applicable, offset against your deposit.

Where can I return my car?

You have the choice: Either you bring your wheego vehicle to one of our hubs free of charge or you decide to pay for a pick-up. If you would like a pick-up, please contact the wheego service team at least 21 days before your subscription expires. The collection costs will then depend on the distance to your desired collection location in Germany. The wheego service team will inform you of the exact collection costs when you place your order. Before a driver from our logistics partner collects the vehicle from you, a mobile, independent appraisal will first take place at your location. A neutral expert appointed by us will make an appointment with you and then prepare the vehicle condition report together with you online. All you need is your smartphone with a camera.

How is the expert opinion carried out on the return?

A neutral expert appointed by us will make an appointment with you and prepare the vehicle condition report together with you online. All you need is your smartphone with a camera. This takes 20-30 minutes, depending on the condition of the vehicle. After a processing time of 5-7 days, you will receive a copy of the report and the final invoice by email. If you bring your wheego vehicle back to one of our hubs yourself, the appraisal will take place at the respective location. If you have your wheego vehicle collected from your home for a fee, the online appraisal will be carried out by our logistics partner shortly before collection.

I have a long journey to the return location, will I lose my inclusive kilometers?

Yes, please include the distance to the return location in your inclusive kilometers. The mileage at the time of return at our wheego hubs counts. You pay the agreed costs of the additional kilometers for each kilometer that exceeds your booked inclusive kilometer package. If you pick up the wheego vehicle at your home, the mileage at the time of handover to our transfer partner counts as the return mileage of your rental contract.

What hidden costs will I incur?

Basically none, as we do everything we can to make our prices as transparent as possible for you. If you order a delivery to your desired location in Germany at the beginning of your wheego subscription and/or a collection at the end of the rental period, we will charge you the logistics costs. However, the wheego service team will always inform you of the exact costs before you place your final order. If you collect your car from our hubs and return it there, there are no additional costs for you.

What damage will be billed at the end of my subscription?

Your wheego Aborate includes signs of use such as minor scratches on door handles or in the interior. Naturally occurring signs of wear and tear, such as tire and brake wear, are also included.
