List your car for rent

Below we’ve listed some of the most appreciated reasons our members in Denmark, Sweden, and Spain choose to rent and share cars through GoMore. So grab your reading glasses and thinking cap — what do you think?

Affordable Rental Prices and A Way to Cover the Cost of Owning a Car

Our renters have noticed the same thing we have – many traditional car rental prices are high, which naturally reduces the willingness to rent. That’s why GoMore recommends fair pricing to car owners based on a broad dataset of pricing information we constantly collect from different rental companies.

This helps us offer affordable rental prices to our members and, in turn, a large number of rental requests for car owners – helping them cover maintenance costs or even monthly payments.

“Many of our active members even make a profit by renting out their cars.”

P.S. Many active members actually earn more than their car’s expenses by renting through GoMore. Want to learn how? Get in touch and we’ll gladly share tips based on our top members’ strategies!

Sharing Private Cars Significantly Reduces the Environmental Impact of Car Use and Ownership

Peer-reviewed research shows that car sharing greatly reduces environmentally harmful emissions like CO₂ and methane. People who share their cars also tend to drive less, which encourages a shift in how we move — toward walking, cycling, or using public transportation.

For instance, a study by U.S. researchers Donna Chen and Kara Kockelman found that, on average, Americans who joined a car-sharing community reduced their transportation-related energy use and greenhouse gas emissions by 51%.

“On average, Americans in car-sharing communities reduce transport-related emissions by 51%.”

Much of a modern car’s environmental impact actually comes from its production and end-of-life phases — especially true for low-emission cars. So, the fewer cars we own collectively, the less environmental harm we cause.

According to the European Parliament, the majority of CO₂ emissions from cars powered by renewable energy come from production and disposal stages. Even traditional gasoline and diesel cars generate about 20% of their lifetime emissions during those same phases.

Another often-overlooked downside of car ownership is its effect on urban livability. Cities are growing, and there simply isn’t room for more cars. Construction projects must include mandatory parking spaces, which adds costs and ultimately increases housing prices.

We strongly believe parking spaces could be put to better use. Why not turn a parking spot into a cozy terrace for a café — especially on a sunny summer day? Or perhaps a children’s play area or sports zone near your apartment block? We know what we’d choose!
