We have different options available for payment so you can choose the best option for your rides in Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch and Dorset.

Option 1: Pay As You Ride

Pedal bikes: £1 to unlock, plus 8p per minute.

e-Bikes: £1.50 to unlock, plus 16p per minute.

e-Scooters: £1.50 to unlock, plus 20p per minute.

This option is best for a single ride. You pay the unlocking fee as a base charge, then the Price Per Minute is added to the base charge. At the end of the ride, we calculate how long you used the vehicle for and your card will be charged.

Example: You ride an e-Scooter for 15 minutes, and end the journey in a designated Beryl Bay. You pay a £1.50 unlocking fee, plus 15 mins at £0.20/min = £4.50.

e-Bikes: £1.50 to unlock, minutes automatically deducted from your minute balance.

e-Scooters: £1.50 to unlock, minutes automatically deducted from your minute balance.

This option is best for regular riders. You buy a bundle of minutes before you ride and we deduct your riding time from your balance.

Additional charges

Out-Of-Bay Fee: £5

You'll be charged the convenience fee if you end your ride outside of a designated parking bay (exemptions apply to Day Pass riders only).

The fee covers the operational cost incurred to return the bike to a bay so another user can ride.

Out-of-Zone Fee: £10

Beryl operates within large operating zones, agreed with the local authority. If you end your journey outside the red-outlined zone on your in-app map, you will be charged a fee.

Out-of-Zone Fee +24 hours: £80

If the bike is not brought back into the operating zone within 24 hours, an additional fee will be charged to cover the cost of recovering the bike.

Unlocked Vehicle Fee: £10
​Please check in the app to make sure your vehicle has correctly registered as locked.
A flat fee is applied in place of a time based journey cost when a user fails to lock their bike at the end of their journey, or fails to end their Scooter journey in the app. Users must physically secure the bicycle by locking the rear compartment and, if applicable in some schemes, the front compartment as well. For Scooter journeys, users must end the journey in the app.
