FreeNow

FreeNow is a comprehensive mobility super app headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, now part of Lyft, that operates across over 150 cities in nine European countries. Originally founded as mytaxi in 2009, the platform was rebranded to FreeNow in 2019 following a joint venture between Daimler and BMW. The app consolidates multiple transportation options into a single platform, making urban travel more accessible and efficient.

Multi-modal transport options are at the heart of FreeNow's offering. Users can access taxis, private hire vehicles, e-scooters, e-bikes, e-mopeds, carsharing services, and public transit—all from one app. This eliminates the need to juggle multiple apps for different transport needs, whether you're commuting to work, exploring the city, or catching a flight.

Business travel made simple with FreeNow for Business, which provides companies with complete visibility and control over ground transportation expenses. Over 15,000 companies across Europe have adopted the platform, benefiting from digital expense management, reduced paperwork, and simplified reimbursement processes. Employees can use monthly Mobility Benefits Cards for all their travel needs.

Convenient booking features include the ability to prebook taxis up to 90 days in advance, in-app chat with drivers, real-time location sharing with friends and family, and the option to save favorite addresses for faster bookings. The platform covers major European airports including London Heathrow, Frankfurt, Barcelona, Rome, Athens, and many others with 24/7 availability.

Flexible payment options include credit cards, Google Pay, Apple Pay, and PayPal, eliminating the need for cash transactions. Users can also benefit from vouchers and referral rewards when inviting friends to the platform.
