Frequently asked questions
As of September 1, 2024, the inclusive units for bike sharing have been removed from the LeipzigMOVE GTC. But don't worry: there has been a transition period since September 2024. During this period, you will continue to receive free rides of 10×15 minutes per month. If a journey takes longer than 15 minutes, you will pay the normal fare for the next unit. Even if your 10 units are used up, you can of course continue to travel - at the regular conditions.
The free units of 10 x 15 minutes per month for bike sharing will be deducted directly after use until further notice. You only pay what is due per rental minus the free quota.
We are currently working on an attractive alternative where we want to reward people for their environmentally conscious mobility behavior. The free travel contingents were a great way to get to know our multimodal offer. To ensure a fair and sustainable system in the long term, we want to focus on new measures in the future that are more strongly geared towards your individual use of our services.
Stay tuned to see what happens next - we'll keep you up to date with all the latest news.

Late return of the vehicle will be penalized with a fine of up to €50. Extend the booking before the end of the booking period via the app or the hotline (0341/4921000) as soon as you realize that you will need the vehicle for longer.
