Any more questions?
Does the 4 € discount only apply to the daily rate?
Yes, the discount only applies if you also use the Call a Bike for a day tour, which is ideal for exploring the surrounding area. The daily rate applies when the maximum daily rate is reached in your tariff. This is in the premium fare from 4 hours travel time (including break) and in the starter fare already from 2 hours and 15 minutes (also including break).
Important: If you want to use the bike at the daily rate, please do not log it off in case of interruptions. Use the driving break for this. Otherwise, billing would start again.
When and how do I get the 4 € credited?
You will receive the credit automatically after completing your booking. Please note that it may take up to 24 hours for you to see the credit in your app. You will then be charged 4 € less with your next bill for this trip. You will only receive the credit if you return the bike to a return location on the S-Bahn stations.
How do I find the Call a Bikes at the station?
In the Call a Bike app you will find the location of the pop-up station. Also note the instructions that we have placed at the stations.
Can I pre-book the Call a Bike?
We are sorry, but the reservation function is not yet available for this promotion. Please check the app in advance to see if there are enough bikes available.
What happens if I don't return the bike to the pop-up station?
If you do not return your bike to one of the pop-up stations, you will be charged a service fee of 25 €. Therefore, please always return your bike to one of the pop-up stations at the Starnberg, Tutzing, Steinebach, Seefeld-Hechendorf or Herrsching railway stations in Munich or at the Wilhelmshagen, Friedrichshagen, Grünau, Strausberg Stadt or Erkner railway stations in Berlin. You can recognise the stations by the floor markings.
Can I return the bike to another station?
You can also drop off the Call a Bike at another pop-up station. Please do not take the bike back to the city center on the train. The bikes are only intended for the summer promotion.
Note: If you do not return your bike to one of the pop-up stations, you will be charged a €25 service fee.
