Your ice cream truck in Hanover: We reveal all secrets

Do you have questions about our handmade ice cream, the ingredients or our events? Here you will find answers to the most common concerns about our ice cream truck in Hanover and our manufactory.

Booking & Events

How much does it cost to rent an ice cream truck for an event in Hanover?
The cost of renting an ice cream truck in Hanover largely depends on the duration of the event and the number of guests. Typically, there is a basic fee that covers the journey and the provision of the truck. In addition, there are costs for the ice cream actually consumed or booked packages. For a customized offer, it is best to send an inquiry directly with the key data.
How can I book an ice cream truck for a wedding or celebration?
Booking is easy via our online contact form or by email. As soon as we have checked your desired date, we will get back to you with a concrete offer.
Can I also order the ice cream truck at short notice for a company party in Hanover?
Yes, spontaneous inquiries are generally possible, provided we still have free capacity. Especially in the hot summer months, however, our trucks are quickly fully booked. A quick call is the fastest way to clarify availability in such cases.
What happens to the booking in case of bad weather?
We offer fair cancellation conditions if the weather on the day of your event doesn't cooperate at all. You can usually postpone the booking free of charge up to 48 hours in advance.
How much space does the Nicezeit ice cream truck need on my private property?
Our ice cream truck needs a solid, level standing area of about three by two meters. In addition, we need a normal 230-volt power connection in the immediate vicinity.
Can the Nicezeit ice cream truck also be rented for a photo shoot or as a film prop?
Yes, our nostalgic ice cream truck is also available purely as a prop for photo and film productions.
From how many people is it worthwhile to reserve the Nicezeit ice cream truck exclusively?
An exclusive booking usually pays off for a party of about 50 people. For smaller groups, our minimum order value often applies, which would slightly increase the cost per person. Nevertheless, we are of course happy to come for more intimate celebrations as well.

Assortment & Prices

How much does a scoop of ice cream cost at the ice cream truck?
The price for a scoop of our handmade ice cream is currently 2.00 Euros.
What ice cream flavors does a mobile ice cream truck offer?
Our assortment changes regularly and includes a mix of absolute classics and modern creations. You will always find evergreens like chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry with us. In addition, we like to surprise with unusual flavors like salted caramel or mango-passion fruit sorbet.
Is there lactose-free or vegan ice cream at the ice cream truck?
Of course, we always have a selection of vegan fruit sorbets on board, which are naturally lactose-free. Occasionally, we also offer creamy milk ice cream alternatives based on oat or almond.
What ice cream specialties does Nicezeit exclusively offer in Hanover?
Nicezeit specializes in unique regional taste experiences that you'll only find with us. A real highlight is our "Herrenhäuser Traum" flavor, inspired by the gardens of Hanover. We also collaborate with local roasteries to create a unique coffee ice cream. Seasonal specials with ingredients from the Hanover region complete our exclusive offer.
Can I create my own ice cream flavor for my event at Nicezeit?
This is actually one of our absolute highlights for weddings and corporate events! If you let us know in good time, we will develop a completely individual ice cream flavor with you. We can incorporate certain colors to match your company logo or combine your favorite ingredients. From basil-lemon to crazy chocolate-chili mixtures, almost anything is possible. This gives your event a very personal, culinary touch.
Can I pay cashless at the Nicezeit ice cream truck?
Yes, you can conveniently pay with all common EC and credit cards as well as via smartphone. Cash payment is of course still possible.

Route, Logistics & Daily Operations

In which districts of Hanover does the ice cream truck operate?
We cover almost the entire city of Hanover, from List to Linden to Südstadt-Bult. However, our daily routes vary, which is why we are not in every neighborhood every day. On weekends, we often focus on highly frequented parks and recreational areas.
Does the Nicezeit ice cream truck also travel to surrounding areas like Langenhagen or Laatzen?
For private bookings and events, we naturally also travel to the entire surrounding area of the Hanover region. However, for regular street sales, we usually limit ourselves to the more direct city area.
When and how often do ice cream trucks come to residential areas?
Our tours through residential areas mainly take place in the afternoon hours between 2 PM and 6 PM. The exact frequency depends heavily on the season and the current weather conditions. On hot summer days, we try to visit the most popular neighborhoods at least twice a week. However, we cannot guarantee regular visits for street sales.
How can you track the ice cream truck live nearby?
Through our Nicezeit app, you can see the current location of our ice cream truck in real-time on a map at any time. It also shows you how long the truck is expected to stay at its current location. This way, you're guaranteed not to miss us when we're in your neighborhood.
How do you call an ice cream truck?
In regular street sales, we announce ourselves with our widely audible melody, so you can simply come outside. We'll then gladly stop directly for you if you call out or signal via the app.
What song does the ice cream truck play?
We use a modern interpretation of classic ice cream truck melodies that sounds cheerful but not too intrusive. Sometimes we also adapt the music to special holidays or promotions.
Are there ice cream trucks in winter?
Our classic street sales pause during the cold months. However, the truck can still be booked for winter events, Christmas markets, or company parties. Then, in addition to ice cream, we often serve hot waffles and warm drinks.
How many scoops of ice cream can an ice cream truck serve per hour?
An experienced team in our truck can easily portion up to 300 scoops of ice cream per hour. This speed ensures short waiting times for guests even at large events.
Is the ice cream truck allowed to stop and sell everywhere?
No, we have to adhere to strict regulatory requirements of the city of Hanover. Selling at confusing intersections, bus stops, or directly in front of schools is usually prohibited. However, we have official permits for many public places and streets. On private properties, we are of course allowed to stand at any time with the owner's permission.
How sustainable are the cups and spoons at Nicezeit?
We attach great importance to environmental protection and completely avoid plastic. Our ice cream cups and spoons are made of one hundred percent biodegradable materials. We also promote consumption in the classic edible waffle, as this comes without any packaging waste.
