FAQ
General questions
Why should I use the Europcar Mobility App?
With the multitude of different offers and apps for urban mobility, this question is quite justified! With the Europcar Mobility App, we expand our brand promise "Moving your way" and want to offer you the opportunity to use a wider range of different mobility services beyond rental cars with just one app and one user account according to your needs. We consciously lead with a product that does not yet include all offers and is not yet perfect. With this approach, we want to receive your feedback very early in order to best understand and serve your needs in the app. We are convinced that in this way, together with you, we can develop a new, even better Europcar experience.
Which mobility services can I book through the Europcar Mobility app?
At the start, the Europcar Mobility App includes the entire range of Europcar rental cars as well as car sharing from MILES in Germany.

However, we see this only as the beginning. Together with you, we want to continuously develop and expand the offering of the Europcar Mobility App based on your wishes and needs.

Document validation
Why is my ID being scanned?
To increase document verification security and prevent identity theft or fraud, we and some integrated third-party providers verify both the driver's license and an identity document. For example, this ensures that the driver's license is not stolen or lost.
I do not have residency in Germany. Can I use the app?
In principle, yes. The crucial factor is the issuing country of your documents, which our authentication partner IDnow can read. Passports or identity cards and driver's licenses from the following countries are currently supported: Belgium, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, Croatia, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Moldova, Malta, Macedonia, Netherlands, Norway, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Sweden, Switzerland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Czech Republic, Hungary, United Kingdom, Cyprus.
I have a paper driver's license. Can I use the app?
Paper driver's licenses are currently not supported by our authentication partner IDnow. If you still want to book a rental car from Europcar, we recommend downloading the Europcar Car Rental app.
I have an international or foreign driver's license. Can I use the app?
Foreign driver's licenses are accepted. The issuing countries of your documents, which our authentication partner IDnow can read, are crucial. The following states are currently supported: Belgium, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, Croatia, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Moldova, Malta, Macedonia, Netherlands, Norway, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Sweden, Switzerland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Czech Republic, Hungary, United Kingdom, Cyprus.
The international driver's license is not accepted.
Document verification failed. What can I do?
If you receive a message in the app stating that your document verification has failed, please feel free to contact us via email at mobility-app@europcar.com.
Is there an alternative for verifying my documents?
Manual verification of identity documents that does not take place in person significantly increases the risk of misuse or fraud and may therefore lead to the rejection of bookings with the integrated third-party providers. If you reject an automated check and would still like to book a rental car from Europcar, please download the Europcar car rental app and use the app to complete your booking. You can then have your documents checked in person at the counter as usual.
