Freetrailer for Android

Freetrailer is a vehicle-sharing app by Freetrailer that lets people borrow a trailer or an electric cargo bike at no charge across Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Germany. The idea behind it is simple: instead of buying a trailer you might use a few times a year, you borrow one from a partner location close to where you live or work, and the booking is handled entirely from your phone. The service has been around since 2004, and the app itself first appeared in 2018, so it has had plenty of time to settle into a routine that suits everyday errands rather than one-off occasions.

Using it follows a short path. You open the app, look for an available trailer or cargo bike nearby, and reserve the one you want. When you arrive, you unlock it from your mobile, load up, and drive off. Once the job is done, you bring the trailer back to the same place and finish the rental in the app. More than a million rentals happen each year, which gives a rough sense of how routine this kind of borrowing has become for households in the covered countries, whether the trip is a move, a run to the summer house, or simply hauling something that will not fit in the car.

Version 26.10.12, released on 9 October 2026, focuses on the booking experience and makes it easier to spot an available trailer near you. The same update also includes stability improvements and fixes for smaller issues. The app is free, carries no ads and no in-app purchases, and holds a rating of 4.56 from more than 31,000 ratings, with over a million installs to date.

It requires Android 8.0 or newer and takes about 125 MB of space.

What's New · 26.10.12

Version 26.10.12 focuses on the booking experience, making it easier to locate an available trailer nearby. The update also includes several stability improvements and fixes for minor issues. No new features are listed beyond these refinements.

People who need a trailer occasionally for moving, furniture pickups or garden waste; households planning trips to a summer house or holiday home; and anyone who would rather borrow an electric cargo bike for a day than buy one.

Reserve the trailer before you set off, especially on weekends and at the start of the month, when popular pickup points tend to be busiest.

Freetrailer covers a narrow need well: getting a trailer or cargo bike for a short job without paying for one. The app is free, ad-free and well rated, and the latest update smooths out booking. The main catch is that it only helps if a partner location is within reach, so check availability in your area first.
