The Instabike costs

What are the exact costs for an Instabike?

An Instabike subscription costs €18,95/month for the transport bike, and €23,95 for the city bike. That’s it. For that amount, you get a good quality bike, free repairs by our excellent team, and the flexibility to cancel your Instabike subscription whenever you like. The subscriptions are all-inclusive. No service costs, no start-up costs, no repair costs.

I still have my own bicycle. Can I exchange it?

Yes, you can. Bring your bike along when you come to pick up your Instabike and we’ll estimate its value. If you decide to leave your old bike with us, we’ll offer you its value in Instabike-terms in return. It makes all the difference.

Subscriptions

Everything about subscriptions

What kind of bike will I get?
When you get an Instabike subscription, you can choose between two types of bicycles: the sturdy transport bike and the more luxurious city bike. So this means you no longer need your own bike, because you get one from us. And as long as you keep your subscription, this bike really is yours. In other words: you don’t have to share the Instabike with other people.
When can I cancel my subscription?
The minimum lease period is 3 months. When this period is over, you can cancel your Instabike subscription every month.
How can I cancel my subscription?
Just send us an email through our contact form, which you can find on the contact page, with “cancellation” as the subject line.

Can I take my Instabike everywhere?
Of course! Whether you cycle to a different city, or even to a different province, it doesn’t matter to us. Just take into account the fact that you have to bring the bicycle to Amsterdam or Hilversum yourself in the event that you need to get it repaired.

Loss/Damage

Did your bike get stolen, or did you lose your keys? What now?

What should I do if I lose my Instabike key?
If you lose your Instabike key, then you can request a new key. This costs €15.
And what if my Instabike gets stolen?
In order to prevent your Instabike from getting stolen, always lock it with two locks. And what if it still gets stolen? Then you’ll pay a €40 deductible excess.
