Let's get you parked perfectly
Your easy guide to stress-free parking with MILES — from start to finish, we’ve got you covered.
Park it like it's MILES!
New to MILES? Here’s your go-to parking cheat sheet.Skip the confusion, keep it smooth — parking’s on us.
Traffic rules always apply
Road traffic regulations apply during every trip and when parking. Only leave the car where signage clearly allows it. Keep an eye out for temporary restrictions too, like construction sites or temporary no-parking zones.
The 48-hour rule
Once you park, you’re responsible for the car’s location for 48 hours, unless someone else takes it for a ride in the meantime. If you park in a permanent no-parking zone (Halteverbot), you’re liable regardless of the 48-hour rule.
Stick to public streets
Within the MILES business area, you can park for free on public streets — we cover the parking costs there. Outside the business area, parking fees are on you. Parking garages are only allowed if clearly marked as permitted.Park like a pro
Use public parking
Public parking is on us — even in managed zones (Parkraumbewirtschaftung).As long as you’re in the business area, no Parkschein needed!
Use parking at train stations
You can find designated MILES parking hubs at bigger train stations like Berlin Central Station, Berlin Ostbahnhof or Berlin Südkreuz via the app.

Official car sharing parking

Only park where it’s allowed
Watch out for red no-parking areas in the app before you pause or end your trip. Other areas, like private parking lots at supermarkets, may be fine for short stopovers but not to end your ride.
Mind the 48-hour rule
You’re responsible for the car’s location for 48 hours — unless someone rents it again. Watch for time-limited zones like Halteverbot or event signs!
Business area limits
You can drive almost anywhere. Even beyond the business area.But rides must end within it. Outside? Just pause your ride and keep exploring.
