You want to go directly to the app?
You can find out whether there are parking spaces on site and other information about the desk or the local conditions directly in the advertisement for the desk.
Yes, if you see the "pets welcome" icon on your booked desk. If not, you could contact the provider via email or phone and ask.
If you have booked in for a single desk, you can't bring any other people with you. If you would like to work together with your friends or colleagues, they can also book a desk via independesk, provided there is still capacity. However, if you have booked a meeting room that is intended and advertised for several people, only one person has to book this room and you can of course take your colleagues with you. Therefore, please always pay close attention to how many people the booked room is designed for.
Some desks have extra telephone rooms, at others you can make calls at your own desk without any problems, and then there are desks where you shouldn't make calls at the desk. You can find out from the advertisement which rules must be observed at a desk.
A basic requirement for being able to offer a desk through us is WiFi access. If you do not have access on site, there is always a contact person on site who can help you.
Yes. If you have a question, please first look at the information and details on the advertisement. If anything is still unclear, you are welcome to contact the provider directly using the contact details provided on the advertisement or, in the case of a corporate membership, your independent Hybrid Work Manager.
As a user, you are responsible for leaving your desk (including all personal and other items located there) in the condition in which you found it. If it can be proven that damage was actually caused by you as a user, the provider can demand compensation from you as a user. You can find more information on this in our terms and conditions.
Please don't do this without "direct" prior consultation or agreement with the provider.
Look at the description and details of your booked desk. There you will find all the relevant information and rules that need to be observed on site, including whether you need to check in or out. You are automatically checked in via our app for the booked time.
You can see from the advertisement which rules must be observed on site and where a mask must be worn. If this advertisement contains a corona protection seal, the provider of the desk assures you that all hygiene guidelines are observed to ensure safe working.
You can book as many times as you want as long as a desk is available. If you use independesk through your company, you may have internal guidelines for use.
There will be no additional costs for you. You will be shown gross prices (i.e. the price including VAT). The price that you are shown for a desk includes everything that is specified for this desk in terms of equipment.
The desk provider set their own prices. Basically, the price depends on the location and the equipment, so it is worth comparing the prices. With us you will find everything - from ergonomic workspaces in individual offices to relaxed tables in co-working spaces.
In principle, every booking includes a desk, a chair, electricity and WiFi access. In addition, the suppliers of desks indicate their individual equipment features in the space profile. These range from kitchen use to air conditioning. But also childcare or the entrainment of pets is partly given.
Yes. A large number of different premises can be found via independesk, including meeting rooms and conference rooms, which are also perfect as a location for workshops, off-sites and customer presentations.
At independesk, we want to make desks available to anyone, anywhere. Just use the in-app search to see if desks are available in your city. If there is no available desk in your city, please let us know and we will try to expand the offer in your city as well. Alternatively, you can also approach a coworking space you know and suggest to the operators that they register with us.
Please let us know by email (service@independesk.com) if there are no free desks in your area. Then we try to get in touch with the companies in your region and introduce ourselves. Otherwise, you can of course approach a company you know directly and suggest that they register with us. Then they would start directly with a potential regular customer.
The search function not only allows you to select the exact place you are looking for. You can also specify other criteria that are relevant to you and your desk search. So you can easily find a desk that exactly suits your taste and needs.
No. If you want to book a meeting room for several people, only one person has to book this room. However, please always pay close attention to how many people the booked meeting room is designed for, so that in the end there are not more people than the capacities allow.
Yes, you will receive your invoices by email.
A cancellation by the provider is only possible up to 48 hours before the start of the confirmed booking time. Of course, you will not incur any costs. You can find more detailed information regarding a cancellation in our terms and conditions.
You are insured by your employer during your working hours or by your health insurance company if you are self-employed.
You can cancel your booking from your dashboard. Free cancellation is possible up to 2 hours before the start of the booking time. Afterwards the first 2 hours of the booking would be charged.
At the end of your booking you will be offered the opportunity to spontaneously extend the booking time - provided there is still a place available and the space is still open. The extension results in additional costs, which are subject to the same hourly rate as your previous booking.
The desks can be booked a maximum of two months in advance.
Yes, the minimum booking time is 2 hours.
We ask for it. Independesk offers you the highest flexibility when booking your desk. Starting immediately, you can book your desk every 15 minutes.
Yes that is no problem. Your employer only needs an "independesk coworking" membership. This can then be used to provide any number of employees with a monthly budget for bookings. More information on our page "independesk coworking".
Costs are incurred for the time you have booked and are payed either by your company in the case of an independesk membership or by yourself in the case of an individual account. It is up to you whether you want to use the desk for the entire duration or leave earlier. Make sure, however, if your desk requests that you check out.
No! If you do not have a corporate membership and have provided credit card information, it will only be used to pay for your desk and will not be made available to any third party.
No. The only cost involved is the cost of the desk itself per hour. The exact prices can be found directly in the offer. You will be shown gross prices (i.e. the price including VAT). Depending on the nature of your account, your company may also bear the costs.
You don't need to pay for your bookings yourself. After registering, you can enter your credit card details and all bookings will then be automatically billed at the end of the booking period. If you have an employee account, your employer will pay for your use as part of the corporate membership.
To do this, log into your account and then go to “Bookings”. There you will see all your pending and past bookings of your desks.
Log into your account and then go to your "profile overview" clicking on your name. There is a “Change Password” option where you can then enter your old password and your new desired password. Then click confirm and you have successfully changed your password.
Only you can book a desk via your account. However, if you need a meeting room for several people, you only need one account or one booking. If your colleagues also want to use independesk, introduce independesk Coworking in their company.

There are no hidden costs. We deduct our commission fee from users' rental payments. The rest is up to you. There are no other fees.

No, the use of our app is free of charge. We do not charge anything for publishing and offering a desk. Only when a successful booking has been made do we charge a commission of 20%.
You alone decide the prices. In the app we ask for a daily rate (8 hours), which serves as the basis for calculating the hourly rate.
As a guide, we recommend between €20 and €30 per day (€2.5 – €3.75 per hour) for a desk, depending on the equipment. For the meeting rooms, on the other hand, we recommend a price starting at €120 per day (€15 per hour), depending on size and equipment.

Your employees will then receive an invitation link by email and can then book the desks as part of this company account.
The same registration process as for the standard accounts is followed and you have the option of opting for a company account right from the start. Afterwards, the option “Convert to a company account” can be selected in the menu bar.
A company account is an extension of the standard account. Additional options will be activated with which your own employees can be invited and managed. A specific or unlimited budget can then be made available to them for booking. More information on this can be found on our pages on independesk coworking and the independesk manager.
