Carré Mobility

What Carré Mobility does

Carré Mobility GmbH is a Berlin-based mobility startup founded in 2020 that operates a station-based, battery-electric vehicle sharing platform purpose-built for the German residential housing sector. The company combines three service components into one mobile application: a local pick-up (Mitbring) service, fixed-station vehicle sharing spanning cars, transporters, cargo bikes, and e-bikes, and a neighborhood carpooling solution. Its proprietary underground-garage-compatible access control eliminates the need for repeaters or WiFi hardware, enabling deployment in typical German Tiefgarage environments without additional infrastructure. All vehicles are battery-electric, supporting ESG and CO2-certification goals for property owners.

The business model is dual-sided: a B2B sales motion sells managed mobility services directly to German housing companies (Wohnungsunternehmen) such as HOWOGE, GEWOBAU, Bauverein AG, NHW, and Bonava, while a B2C mobile app (iOS/Android, plus web) allows residents to register, verify identity via Veriff, and book vehicles by the minute. A Mobility Budget (Mobilitätsbudget) module allows housing companies to embed mobility credits into tenants' monthly rent, with Carré handling operations, insurance, billing, and compliance with German urban development contracts (städtebauliche Verträge). The company claims up to 50% parking-infrastructure cost savings for clients and is backed by Techstars Berlin (2023), with long-term vehicle supply partnerships with Audi, Volkswagen, R&M, ISICARGO, and Herrmanns Radhaus. Headcount is approximately 6 core employees plus 3 advisors, with operations in Berlin and Rüsselsheim.

2. Mobility Budget/Subscription: Monthly subscription model where housing companies provide mobility budgets to residents as part of rent. Residents can use this budget to access shared vehicles at discounted rates.

Core offering

Carré Mobility operates a neighborhood mobility platform that combines three service components — a local pick-up service (Mitbring-Service), station-based battery-electric vehicle sharing, and a carpooling solution — into a single app and web product for residential tenants in Germany. It sells housing companies (Wohnungsunternehmen) a fully managed mobility program that includes fleet operations, insurance, maintenance, billing, and compliance with urban-development-contract requirements, and provides residents with usage-based access to cars, transporters, cargo bikes, and e-bikes via an optional rent-integrated Mobility Budget (Mobilitätsbudget).

Product overview

Carré Mobility operates as a comprehensive neighborhood mobility platform combining three core service components: a local pick-up (Mitbring) service, station-based vehicle sharing with battery-electric vehicles (cars, vans, cargo bikes, e-bikes), and a carpooling solution. The ecosystem is managed through the Carré Mobility App as the central interface. The platform targets the residential real estate sector, offering solutions for both new construction and existing housing districts, with an optional Mobility Budget module enabling property companies to integrate sustainable mobility credits into tenant rent structures. All vehicles are battery-electric, supporting ESG and environmental certification goals.

Problem solved

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Station-based Battery-Electric Vehicle Sharing Shared, station-based usage of a battery-electric fleet (small cars, medium cars, premium cars, transporters, cargo bikes, e-bikes) parked at fixed locations in German residential neighborhoods. Tenants of housing-company properties register via the Carré app, pass ID and driver's-license verification, and book vehicles at fixed stations by the minute, optionally against a rent-provided Mobility Budget.
• Local Pick-up Service (Mitbring-Service) A local delivery/pick-up service that brings vehicles (or items via those vehicles) to users within a defined service area, complementing the station-based sharing model and adding an on-demand last-mile mobility option for housing-company residents.
• Carpooling Solution (Fahrgemeinschaftslösung) A ridesharing / carpooling feature that lets users within a Carré-enabled neighborhood share rides, integrated into the same digital platform as vehicle sharing and accessible via the Carré Mobility app.
• Managed Mobility Program for Housing Companies (Wohnungsunternehmen) A full-service B2B package for German housing companies (Wohnungsunternehmen) covering the entire station-based sharing, carpooling, and pick-up service, plus fleet operations, insurance, maintenance, billing, and compliance support with German urban development contracts (städtebauliche Verträge) and CO2 certification objectives. Targets both new-build districts (where it can replace up to 50% of parking-infrastructure capex) and existing districts (to relieve parking pressure and enable infill development).

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Free2Move: Stellantis-owned multi-modal mobility platform with carsharing operations across European cities. Comparable as a broad European shared-mobility incumbent, though more focused on free-floating and consumer mobility than residential/housing-company verticals.
• Share Now: BMW/Daimler-backed free-floating carsharing platform operating in major German cities with much larger fleets and brand recognition. A broad incumbent offering overlapping functionality but free-floating (not station-based) and lacking Carré's housing-company vertical focus.
• Flinkster: Deutsche Bahn's station-based carsharing network covering many German cities, often tied to rail stations and integrated with Bahn products. Comparable as a station-based carshare incumbent in Germany, with broader geographic reach and public-transport synergy.
• Sixt SE (Sixt Share): Major German rental car and mobility company with a vehicle-sharing product and large fleet. Comparable as an incumbent mobility provider in Germany offering carsharing as part of a wider rental/mobility portfolio.
• Miles Mobility: Free-floating carsharing operator active across Germany with broad consumer focus. Comparable as a German shared-mobility incumbent competing for the same end-user pool, though model and target segment differ.

Direct peers

• Cambio Carsharing: German station-based carsharing provider operating across multiple cities with both corporate and residential user programs. Directly comparable as a station-based carshare operator in Germany with B2B fleet offerings, though broader geographic reach than Carré.
• Stadtmobil: German cooperative carsharing operator with station-based services in many German cities. Comparable as a multi-city station-based vehicle-sharing peer targeting both consumers and corporate/institutional accounts.
• teilAuto: German cooperative carsharing operator with station-based services across multiple cities, including corporate and residential user programs. Closely comparable to Carré in model (station-based) and target (multi-city German carsharing).

Regional players

• Greenwheels: Dutch station-based carsharing operator with strong corporate/housing-cooperation program expertise. Comparable as a station-based carshare peer with experience integrating into residential housing programs, though primarily active in the Netherlands.

Others

• Reboot Mobility (evemo): Provides the vehicle lock/unlock hardware and software layer that Carré integrates with for in-app access control. Comparable as an enabling technology supplier in the carsharing stack rather than a direct customer-facing competitor.
