  1. How much does it cost to ride?
      1. The cost to ride a RYDABLE varies by the venue/location but usually includes a small fee to start and then a minute-by-minute rate and allows you to arrive at your desired destination faster and costing a fraction of a taxi, rideshare, etc… while also having way more fun than walking or other transportation options.

 

    1. How do I pay for my ride?
      1. Before you can ride a RYDABLE, you will create your Account/User Profile in the RYDABLES app. During that process, you will be directed to enter your credit (or debit) card information. When your ride has ended, the amount you owe will be deducted from your card/bank account.
      2. Reminder: Your ride only ends and your card only stops being charged when your Rydable is returned to a preapproved and designated “RYDABLES Drop-Off (and Pick-up) Location!”  You will continue being charged until that time.

 

    1. How do I end my ride?
      1. Once you arrive at a preapproved, designated Pick-up and/or Drop-off location, open the RYDABLES app and click “End Ride.” Please note, you must be standing next to the RYDABLE for your ride to end. This will mark the location of the scooter and complete the transaction. Always verify that your ride has ended.  You will be given a chance to Rate your ride and RYDABLES experience once it has ended and see a summary of your rental transaction.  After that, you will be taken back to the “Map” once your ride has been properly completed. Until a ride has been ended correctly you are responsible for all charges.

    1. The allowed perimeter for your RYDABLES scooters will be illustrated on the map associated with your location/venue.

RYDABLES SAFETY

  • Please visit our safety page here for more information.

“I’m seeing, what appears to be, an ‘extra’ (or additional charge) in my bank account after renting a Rydable. Have I been overcharged or do I need a credit or refund?”

At some venues, they have requested that we implement a “pre-authorization” (or, “verification of available funds”) feature in our Rydables app as part of the checkout process when renting a Rydable.

This is just a temporary hold on funds that confirms there is a minimum amount of dollars in the selected account/method of payment for the rental.

Once the actual rental transaction has been processed and cleared your account, your bank/financial institution will drop (or release) that temporary hold, and those funds will be available again to use.

It doesn’t actually charge (or debit) your account/method of payment removing those funds but rather places a hold or verification that those funds are there and available.

This usually takes place within 24 hours but is dependent upon your bank/financial institution and can occasionally take 24 to 72 hours if it’s over a holiday or weekend.

Please feel free to contact us if there are additional questions or concerns or anything we can do to further assist you following your Rydables experience.

Thank you for your business and, as always, we hope your rental was memorable and a lot of fun! We look forward to seeing you again next time.

Remember to Ride. Smile. Repeat.
