About SnappCar

SnappCar is a Dutch peer-to-peer car-sharing platform founded in 2011. The company provides a marketplace where car owners can rent out their vehicles to other individuals.

The business model is centered around the sharing economy, aiming to reduce the number of cars on the road and, consequently, CO2 emissions. SnappCar facilitates the rental process by handling payments and providing all-risk insurance coverage for every transaction. For a seamless user experience, some vehicles on the platform are equipped with keyless technology, allowing renters to open the car using the SnappCar mobile application.

The company operates as a social enterprise and has been a certified B Corporation since 2015, which underscores its commitment to social and environmental goals alongside its financial objectives. While the platform is primarily for private car owners, business rentals are not permitted and are actively monitored to maintain the peer-to-peer nature of the service.
