There are two ways to ride with us, you can either buy bundles of minutes up-front, or pay as you ride.
Minute bundles
Best for regular users of the scheme as you won’t pay an unlock fee when you ride.
Buy a bundle of minutes upfront and we’ll deduct minutes from your balance depending on how long you ride for. The cost of one minute of riding is 5p.
Bundles available
| 100 mins | 300 mins | 600 mins |
|---|---|---|
| £5.00 | £15.00 | £30.00 |
Pay as you ride
Best for those who cycle occasionally. You will pay £1 to unlock a bike, and then 5p per minute of cycling thereafter.
Compare the plans
| Minute bundle | Standard PAYG tariff |
|---|---|
| 5 minute ride - 25p | 5 minute ride - £1.25 |
| 10 minute ride - 50p | 10 minute ride - £1.50 |
| 25 minute ride - £1.25 | 25 minute ride - £2.25 |
| 45 minute ride - £2.25 | 45 minute ride - £3.25 |
| 1 hour - £3.00 | 1 hour - £4.00 |
Pay for your ride by linking a credit/debit card or your Swift account to the Beryl cycle hire app.
