Method for positioning a motor vehicle in a suitable charging position for contactless charging of an energy store of the motor vehicle by means of a charging plate, comprising the steps: a. acquisition of a first item of position information describing the relative position of the charging position to the motor vehicle by a first acquisition device with a first acquisition range, b. guiding of the motor vehicle in the direction of the charging position through triggering of at least one longitudinally or laterally guiding driving intervention dependent on the first item of position information and/or triggering of at least one driving instruction relating to the guiding of the motor vehicle, dependent on the first item of position information, to a driver of the motor vehicle by a control device of the motor vehicle, c. acquisition of a second item of position information by a second acquisition device with a shorter second acquisition range than the first acquisition range, and d. guiding of the motor vehicle to the charging position through triggering of at least one longitudinally or laterally guiding further driving intervention dependent on the second item of position information and/or triggering of at least one further driving instruction relating to the guiding of the motor vehicle, dependent on the second item of position information, to a driver of the motor vehicle by the control device of the motor vehicle, whereby the first acquisition device comprises at least one sensor device, through which environment data relating to the motor vehicle environment are acquired, after which the first item of position information is determined in dependence on the environment data, characterised in that the second acquisition device comprises at least one receiver device for the reception of a radio signal transmitted by a transmitter device assigned to the charging plate or the motor vehicle, whereby the second item of position information is determined by the second acquisition device through evaluation of the radio signal, whereby, before step a), a presence of the charging plate in the environment of the motor vehicle is acquired by the first acquisition device, after which a charging plate instruction relating to a usability of the charging plate is issued to the driver of the motor vehicle, after which, in dependence on an operating input on the part of the driver, the method is continued with step a) for the guiding of the motor vehicle to the suitable charging position for contactless charging of the energy store by means of the charging plate or is cancelled. a. acquisition of a first item of position information describing the relative position of the charging position to the motor vehicle by a first acquisition device with a first acquisition range, b. guiding of the motor vehicle in the direction of the charging position through triggering of at least one longitudinally or laterally guiding driving intervention dependent on the first item of position information and/or triggering of at least one driving instruction relating to the guiding of the motor vehicle, dependent on the first item of position information, to a driver of the motor vehicle by a control device of the motor vehicle, c. acquisition of a second item of position information by a second acquisition device with a shorter second acquisition range than the first acquisition range, and d. guiding of the motor vehicle to the charging position through triggering of at least one longitudinally or laterally guiding further driving intervention dependent on the second item of position information and/or triggering of at least one further driving instruction relating to the guiding of the motor vehicle, dependent on the second item of position information, to a driver of the motor vehicle by the control device of the motor vehicle,
