  • Tailored insurance pricing: the cost of the insurance is calculated based on multiple factors including your driving history, age and the characteristics of the car you have chosen.

 ! IMPORTANT !

Unfortunately, without the user logging in we cannot calculate the cost of the insurance and the rental price will be displayed with the average insurance amount. You are advised of this fact by the text below the rental price. Only after logging in will the insurance price be automatically updated.

Owners with their own insurance

If the owner can prove to us that their insurance policy allows them to rent out the vehicle, HoppyGo will allow rentals. However, it must be understood that all problem solving is then left to the owner and driver. HoppyGo cannot guarantee the claims handling process of such an insured rental. Drivers must then bear in mind that the terms and conditions of the owners‘ own insurance may differ from HoppyGo’s standard terms and conditions.

Tip: You can get more detailed information directly from the owner of the specific car.

What is HoppyGo? 

HoppyGo is a car sharing platform that connects those who want to rent a car occasionally with car owners who do not use their cars on a daily basis. Users can thus use cars that would otherwise be parked in parking lots. On the other hand, owners can solve the costs of owning a car in this way or secure a side income. 

The platform includes over 1500 cars of all categories and brands. As a user, you have the opportunity to choose between luxury and affordable cars, sports cars, vans and camper vans, family cars or city cars. In short, you will find everything here.
