High weekend activity and strong capacity utilisation
The rental pattern in Q1 2026 remained clearly weekend-driven, with Saturday as the strongest rental day. In selected markets, capacity utilisation was particularly high, including Denmark with a rental frequency of 145% on Saturdays and 131% on Sundays, as well as Sweden with a rental frequency of 100% on Saturdays during the normal low season.
A rental frequency above 100% reflects that the same unit is rented out several times within the same day.
Continued development of the platform and user activity
During the quarter, Freetrailer continued its work to improve the user experience in the app, particularly in the search and booking flow. The updates implemented have contributed to a more stable user journey and reduced friction in key parts of the customer experience.
Comment from the Group CEO
Thomas Zeihlund, Group CEO of Freetrailer Group A/S, states:
Q1 2026 confirms that Freetrailer continues its strong growth, with an 18.9% increase in the number of rentals and progress across all markets. This development is supported by a growing and more active user base, as well as strong partnerships, where Freetrailer is becoming increasingly integrated into partners’ customer offerings. At the same time, we are seeing high capacity utilisation at weekends, and the booking development in March indicates that the seasonal uplift has started earlier this year than last year. Our focus remains on strong operational execution, a simple and reliable customer experience, and disciplined scaling of the business.
Monthly traffic updates from May 2026
Going forward, Freetrailer will publish traffic data on a monthly basis, with the first update on 1 May 2026. The more frequent updates are intended to make it easier for shareholders to follow the development of the business on an ongoing basis.

About Freetrailer Group A/S
Freetrailer was founded in 2004 with a simple idea: to make it easy to borrow a trailer whenever you need one. Today, we operate an international platform that connects partners and users and makes local transport more accessible.
Freetrailer is Europe’s leading sharing-based solution for the rental of trailers and electric cargo bikes. The platform has been expanded with additional rental products tailored to local needs. Through a self-service app and digital locking systems, we create flexibility where it delivers the greatest value.
At the same time, our rental units function as mobile advertising spaces in the urban environment, creating visibility for our partners close to their customers. This makes Freetrailer an effective combination of transport and local marketing.
Freetrailer Group A/S was listed on Spotlight Stock Market in 2018.
