About us
Freetrailer - simple and flexible transport when you need it
Freetrailer began with a simple idea: to make it easy to borrow a trailer when you need one. Since 2004, we’ve been working to simplify everyday logistics and today, we’re present in multiple countries with thousands of trailers and cargo bikes.
Together with partners like IKEA, Silvan, ILVA, Elgiganten and many others, we enable thousands of rentals every single day across Scandinavia and Northern Europe. Our platform connects businesses and users, making it easy to borrow a trailer directly from a partner location – quickly, easily, and completely free through the Freetrailer app.
Everything is self-service, and with our digital lock system, getting started is simple – no keys or paperwork required. When you use Freetrailer, you get more than flexible transport – you also support a local partner and help create visibility in the community.
We continuously develop new features and products to make Freetrailer an even more flexible and valuable solution – both for you as a user and for our many partners.

More about Freetrailer
Freetrailer was born from an idea that originated from the world of sharing economy, and has now grown into an international company.
We strive to think differently and develop ideas that make transport from A to B as easy as possible. We know that people have less time and want to spend their money wisely. At Freetrailer, convenience is the most important thing we can offer the customer. A simple solution is a free solution.
Freetrailer has established and expanded a trailer rental market where customers can borrow a trailer for free and partners can promote their business, and thereby get more customer visits and increase sales.
Freetrailer is, in all its simplicity, an extra free service for our partners’ customers. A concept that creates value for both the company and the customers – we call it WIN-WIN.
Are you interested in working in a fantastic environment with the best colleagues in the world? Then Freetrailer might be something for you.

Partnering up with Freetrailer is a great way for your company to get exposure and at the same time give your customers an excellent offer!
Freetrailer was founded in Denmark back in 2004 by Allan Sønderskov Darré and Aksel Blomgren Ambjørner. It’s based on the unique business idea that all sorts of companies should be able to offer their customers the option to borrow a trailer for free.
IKEA was the first company to partner up with Freetrailer. The concept was such a great success that Freetrailer is now the leader in the trailer rental market in Denmark. The company expanded to Sweden in 2006, Germany in 2013, Norway in 2015 and The Netherlands in 2025.
Satisfied customers have since borrowed a Freetrailer more than 5 million times in total!
Sharing smarter, together
Sharing creates value, for both people and the planet. Every time a trailer or cargo bike is shared instead of owned, we reduce the need for materials and transport. That’s the idea behind Freetrailer, and it only gets stronger with every partner and user who joins the platform.
A network on the move
Behind every rental and pick-up point is a growing community of partners and users, working together to make getting from A to B easier – in a way that makes sense for both everyday life and the future.
