Our mission

More space in the city. This has been our most important corporate goal since the company was founded. Our solution: Your car on demand just around the corner. Car sharing à la cambio creates space for a better standard of living in the city.

And it works: Every single cambio car replaces eleven private cars on average. And while a private car still stays unused for an average of 23 hours a day, a cambio car is on the road for six to eight hours.

Our history

The company's origins go back to the environmental movement. In 1990 and 1992, committed people in Aachen, Bremen and Cologne started the shared use of cars. The constantly growing number of customers led to increasing professionalization in the 1990s. In March 2000, the previously independent CarSharing companies from Aachen, Bremen and Cologne joined forces and founded the cambio Group. Together, they were able to improve the service and expand it to other cities.
