*This version is effective as of February 9, 2024
How payments work
*You must pay for the rides immediately, we do not provide credit.
Charging your card
- at the beginning of the ride
- during the ride every €20 (every 80km or so you drive)
- remaining balance at the end of your ride
Please make sure that your card has money and is working at all times. The car may stop or lock itself at any time if a payment is not successful.
Minimum payment is €1. If less than €1 is due, the system charges you €1 and puts the change on your bonus account.
Please check after your ride that your RideNow account balance is zero or positive.
Deposit
Deposit is usually not required. A deposit of €100 can be requested from your card if you are younger than 21, have driving experience of less than 12 months, have not paid us on time in the past or were involved in accidents or risky behaviour.
The deposit may also be required at the request of the company's security department.
The deposit is not returned automatically. You may request its return anytime by messaging our customer support. Usually it takes us a few days to confirm that we have no outstanding issues with your payments and no damage to the cars you rented. It will take a few more days for your bank to process the return of the deposit - thank you for your patience!
Non-payment
*Non-payment within 24 hours results in a fine of €5 (once)
A large debt (over €20) or many non-payments result in:
- a deposit of €100 required before future rides
- the future rides being more expensive
The deposit may be lifted if you pay on time for 30 days.
After 30 days of non-payment your account will be suspended. Re-activation fee is €25.
