Payment options

Ook beschikbaar in Nederlands

Before renting your first bike you need to enable recurring payments. For students with a valid student e-mail there is also a pre-paid option.

If you enable recurring payments your account will be automatically recharged with €4.75 if your ride credit is below €0,-. It won't recharge as long as your first ride is shorter than 24 hours.

Recurring payments are supported by the following payment methods:
* iDEAL
* Credit Cards
* IBAN (SOFORT, Bancontact, Belfius, ING Home’Pay and a number of European banks)

For students (and users with a whitelisted e-mail) there are the following additional options:
* PayPal

All payments are processed by our payment partner Mollie. 

Discount passes can be purchased directly in the online store (https://www.cykl.nl/shop). But you don't need one to start you first ride :-)
