We have different options available for payment so you can choose the best option for your rides in Portsmouth. You are charged by the minute, plus any base fees and additional charges.

Option 1: Pay As You Ride

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

e-Bikes: £1 to unlock, plus 16p per minute.

This option is best for a single ride. You pay the unlocking fee as a base charge, and 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 and your card will be charged.

Example: You ride an e-Bike for 15 minutes, and end the journey in a designated Beryl Bay. You pay a £1 unlocking fee, plus 15 mins at £0.16/min = £3.40.

Option 2: Minute Bundles

50 minutes: £8

100 minutes: £16

200 minutes: £32

400 minutes: £64

Minute bundles work out to cost 16p/ minute.

e-Bikes: 50p to unlock, minutes automatically deducted from your minute balance.

e-Scooters: 50p 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.

Example: You ride an e-Bike for 15 mins, and end your journey in a designated Beryl Bay. You pay a £0.50 unlocking fee and you will have 15 minutes deducted from your balance at the value of £2.40.

Additional charges

Out-Of-Bay Fee: £10

You'll be charged the convenience fee if you end your ride outside of a designated parking bay. The fee covers the operational cost incurred to return the vehicle to a bay so another user can ride.

Out-of-Zone Fee: £25

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

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.
