History

The success story of Flinkster, Deutsche Bahn's carsharing service, began in 2001. Since then, the carsharing service has developed rapidly in Germany. From the very beginning, carsharing customers have relied on Flinkster for seamless mobility at train stations and in daily life. The history of Flinkster showcases its continuous development.

A long exposure of a road at night shows red light trails from vehicles that extend along the road and disappear into the darkness. The road itself is only dimly lit, which makes the light trails stand out.

Mission statement

As part of modern mobility, Flinkster looks ahead to where the future of carsharing is headed. Alongside our vision and mission for carsharing, our values reflect our commitment to our customers.
