Rental system

You can usually best recognise our official stations by the station kiosks and bicycle racks. Generally, you can find all of our stations on our website and through the nextbike app. In case of doubt, please contact our customer service at 020 8166 9851.

It is possible to rent up to four bikes at once under a single account. It can also be arranged to allow up to seven bikes at once in some exceptional cases. Please contact our service center to inquire more information. Requests for larger groups of eight bikers or more can also be scheduled by our team as well. Please contact Customer Service at 020 8166 9851

Because this rental was generated with our app, all corresponding rental information will continue to be provided directly over the app to avoid redundancy.

Your active nextbike registration makes it possible to rent bicycles within all cities and countries with an existing nextbike bike-sharing system.

You can park your bike en route and safeguard it by putting the lock through the front fork and using the parking mode 'P' on the board computer. To unlock the bike, enter the 4 digits code on the board computer and press 'OK'.

 

Note: The bike will still be rented while in 'Parking' mode.

 

Even if a terminal kiosk is out of service, you can still continue renting and returning bikes at the station via our app or service hotline. Please make sure to inform our customer service of any malfunctions by phone at 020 8166 9851 or e-mail  info@nextbike.co.uk so we can make sure to take care of it right away.

 

You are accountable for checking the bike of any possible damages before you start your journey. Please make sure to report any defects to us so that all affected bikes can be decommissioned and repaired as soon as possible. You can contact Customer Service at 020 8166 9851.

 

In the case that you have already started your ride when noticing a defect, such as that the gears or the breaks are not working properly, we kindly ask you to immediately stop your ride and contact our customer service at 020 8166 9851. It is only in this case that we can cancel your ride and register the bike for our repair service. Unfortunately, we can't credit you the fees for any time spent riding a bike with evident malfunctions.

 

Return

The bike can only be taken and returned within the same city, otherwise high return fees will incur.

If all bike racks are full, you can just leave the bike next to the station and check out the bike by phone or via app. The bike has to be locked.

If the station is still not relaying any signal, please proceed to close the lock and press "C", that will return the bike. Alternatively, you can call the service hotline at 020 8166 9851. 

nextbike Customer Card

The nextbike customer card makes it easier for you to rent a bike at our station terminals and via the board computer on the bike. You can order a card during the registration process, or even later via our service hotline at 020 8166 9851.

It is possible to order several customer cards so that one account can be shared with another person.Please note:In this case, the person who is registered as the official account holder would be held liable for any damage or loss.

Please contact our customer service at 020 8166 9851 if your customer card does not seem to work at several stations. We will then make sure to send you a new customer card. If you notice that your customer card is not working on one particular station, it is possible, that the terminal kiosk of the station is not working properly.
