Flexa offers an ideal link to public transport (streetcar, bus and S-Bahn). Whether for business or pleasure, Flexa travels to numerous transport hubs, from where you can easily travel on to neighboring districts, Leipzig city center or the entire MDV area.

After that, all you have to do is enter your desired pick-up point and destination before each journey - Flexa will take you there quickly and conveniently.

You can also check the status of your booking under "Subscriptions & bookings"
In the booking process, you can select your departure time or your arrival time when selecting the time. In this case, we recommend that you select "Arrival time" and enter your preferred arrival time. The background system will then plan the route so that you arrive at your destination on time. It also calculates who else can be picked up where along the way (pooling) so that you arrive on time.
When making your booking request, enter your entire route to your final destination within the MDV area. In this case too, the background system will plan the route so that you reach your connections on time.

Bikesharing is billed in 15-minute units - every unit or part thereof counts. One unit costs €1. For example, if you cycle for 45 minutes, you pay €3 for your ride with LeipzigMOVE. Service fees may apply if you return the bike in the pink zone (€1 in Leipzig) or outside the business area (min. €20 in Leipzig). Service prices may vary in other cities. Please note: cargo bikes have slightly different conditions. Take a look at these under 6.5 and 6.6.
You can only return the bike within the zones marked on the map (in Leipzig: blue/pink shading) and stations. If you place the bike in a blue zone or station, there are no additional charges and you only pay for the time units used. Returning the bike in the pink zone will cost you an additional €1. You should avoid parking your bike completely outside the zones - unfortunately we have to charge at least €20 extra for this. Service prices may vary in other cities. Please note: cargo bikes have slightly different conditions. Take a look at these under 6.5 and 6.6.
By clicking on "Start rental", the lock on the rear wheel of the bike opens automatically. If this is not the case, shake the bike a little until the lock pops open and/or click on "Open lock" again in the app. When you have reached your destination, lock the bike by pushing the lock lever down in the direction of the arrow until it clicks into place. The beep signals that the bike has been successfully locked. This may take a few seconds - please wait for this so that you can be sure that the return was successful. Check the completion of the ride in the app.
Yes, you can rent up to four Nextbikes at the same time via LeipzigMOVE.
Bikesharing is billed in 15-minute units - each unit or part thereof counts. One unit costs €1. For example, if you cycle for 45 minutes, you pay €3 for your trip with LeipzigMOVE. The cargo bikes can only be rented and returned at their home stations. Otherwise a service fee of €20 will be charged.
Cargo bikes can only be rented and returned at their home stations. The cargo bike stations are marked with "CARGO" in the app. You will find the name of the home station on the transport box. If a cargo bike is not returned to its home station, we charge a service fee of at least €20.
You can easily switch on the assistance using the on/off switch on the bike computer on the handlebars. You can set the assistance intensity using the +/- controls. At the end of your ride, you can simply switch the board computer off again.
The loading area of the e-cargo bike may be loaded up to a maximum load of 50 kg.
Yes, activate the "Pause journey" button in the app and then close the lock. During the pause, the rental fees will continue to be charged. To continue your journey, simply press "Continue journey" in the app and the lock will open automatically.
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.
Bike+Ride are bicycle parking spaces that offer you the opportunity to park your bicycle safely. Depending on the location of the Bike+Ride facility, one of the following types of facility is available: * Bike garage * Bike box For the desired rental period, you will receive a personal access code with which you can use the bike box or garage.
A bicycle garage has central access for all users. There are individual parking spaces within the facility. The users of the facility have individual access data to open the facility.
Bicycle boxes have several separate individual parking spaces. Each of the individual boxes has its own door and can be opened and closed individually. Each user has individual access data with which they can only open their own bike box.
To book a bicycle parking space, you need a LeipzigMOVE account. You can also find out how to register an account in our [FAQs]. If you already have a LeipzigMOVE account, you can book your bicycle parking space as follows:
- Click on Bike+Ride on the start page of the LeipzigMOVE app.
- Then select the location where you would like to book a parking space from the list of available bike boxes and garages.
- In the next step, you can select the rental period and, if applicable, a parking space within the bike box.
- Complete the booking.
You will then receive the access data for your parking space in the LeipzigMOVE app. You can use the QR code to open the bike box or garage.
For how long can I rent a bicycle parking space?
In principle, rental is possible on a daily, weekly, monthly and annual basis. Please note, however, that we have only activated a certain number of pitches at the facilities for short-term bookings.
| Rental period | Price |
|---|---|
| 1 day | 1 € |
| 1 week | 5 € |
| 1 month | 10 € |
| 1 year | 90 € |

Open with QR code Hold the QR code in the app to the scanner above the number pad. The door opens. You have to perform an extra step before every 1st opening: Press the # button before scanning the QR code. This also applies after you have extended your parking space in the app.
Open by entering numbers You can also open the system without a QR code. Simply enter the box number and PIN one after the other without using the area code. The following steps must be carried out before each 1st opening. This also applies after you have extended your parking space in the app: Enter # key Enter "valid until date", e.g. 20230815 Enter "box number", e.g. 002 Enter "PIN", e.g. 1234 Enter "checksum", e.g. 54321 You can find your personal access data in the app under the QR code by clicking on "Open parking space without QR code".
During the rental period, you can open and close the door as often as you like using your access data.
The upper boxes are equipped with a rail that can be pulled out and folded down. The bike is placed on this rail and the rail is lifted. The bike is firmly anchored in the rail using a corresponding device.
Please note that parking an e-bike/pedelec in the upper area of the boxes is not possible at every location due to the weight. This depends on the type of facility on site. The exact details can be found in the information texts for the individual locations.
You can extend an active booking at any time. To do this, use the LeipzigMOVE app and call up your current booking. Here you will find the option to extend your booking. Select the desired extension period and complete the booking process.
No, you cannot end your booking early.
No, your bike is not automatically insured. Leipziger Verkehrsbetriebe (LVB) GmbH is not liable for stolen bicycles, objects or other damage. Please always make sure to lock your bike despite the protected parking location.
The door of the bike box does not open automatically. Once your booking has expired, the parking space is released again and can be booked by other users. If the bike is still in the bike box at this time, it can be found by the next tenant.
As long as no other user has booked, the door to your parking space can be opened again after the rental period has expired.
If your bike blocks the parking space, we reserve the right to clear the space and charge you for the costs. Therefore, always collect your bike in good time or extend your booking.
In rare cases, a bike box or bike garage may not open due to vandalism or technical faults. In this case, please contact our customer service team directly and describe your problem. Our customer service is available on the following telephone number 0341/492-1000 to reach us. We will then find a solution together with you.
If you have caused an emergency opening through your own fault, you will be liable for the fees incurred in accordance with our General Terms and Conditions (GTC).
This may occur if the previous user of the parking space does not collect their bike before their booking expires. If your booked parking space is occupied, please contact our customer service directly. If another parking space is available at the desired location, you can book this via the LeipzigMOVE app. The rental fee for the first booking will be refunded. You can reach our customer support on the telephone number 0341/492-1000.
You may not have validated your driver's license yet. Go to "How do I validate my driver's license?".
If you have already completed the validation, there may be other reasons for this. We ask you to use the Contact form to get in touch with us.
Currently, LeipzigMOVE only offers station-based car sharing vehicles. This means that you must always return the vehicle to the station where you started your journey. Your booking is only complete when you have parked the vehicle at the relevant station.
When your car sharing booking starts, you will find the "Open" button in your active booking. Press it, enter your PIN (you can change it at any time in your profile) and the vehicle's central locking will open. If this doesn't happen immediately, just try again - sometimes it can take a few moments.
You will find the key in the glove compartment. During the booking, use the key to lock the car. At the end of the booking, insert the chip on the key back into the socket in the glove compartment. Close all doors and click on the "Close" button in your booking or hold any NFC-enabled card (e.g. a credit card) to the reading field in the windshield.
If you need to refuel on the road or your tank level drops below 25 %, follow these steps:
Search for a DKV filling station.
Fill up with the right fuel. (see key fob or fuel cap, costs for premium fuel and intermediate charging of electric vehicles are not covered)
Remove the DKV card from the glove compartment.
Enter the mileage and PIN when paying. You can find the fuel PIN in your current booking under "More -> Refuel".
If the DKV card is not accepted at the filling station or is defective, we ask you to display the costs. Then please send the fuel receipt to us (Service-Center der Leipziger Verkehrsbetriebe (LVB) GmbH, Markgrafenstraße 2, 04109 Leipzig) with the note "LeipzigMOVE Carsharing Tankquittung", your name and your customer contract number. We will reimburse you with the invoice for the journey.
Electric vehicles must always be reconnected to the charging station for charging at the end of the journey and the charging process must be started with the charging chip card.
Remember to pack the charging cable when you start your journey. It belongs to the vehicle. If the charging cable is missing at the start of your journey, report it as damage to the support hotline before you set off (0341/4921000). The vehicle must always be connected to the charging station at the end of the journey and the charging process must be started with the charging chip card.
Yes, you can. However, you can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before the start of the rental period. If you cancel at short notice, we will unfortunately have to charge you half of the hourly rate for the canceled booking period (see point 14).
Stay calm, look after yourself and everyone involved and secure the scene of the accident.
In the event of any kind of damage, e.g. an accident with wild animals or a road bollard, or in the event of theft, please report it immediately to the police and to our support hotline (0341/4921000 à car sharing), even if no one else is involved. Please inform us truthfully and in detail about the damage event. Then document the damage to the vehicle with photos.
You can report any damage caused by you or during your rental by calling the support hotline (0341/4921000 car sharing). In this case, please also call the police. A written report is also required within three days. You can also send photos of the vehicle damage here.
Any existing damage that you notice before the start of your journey and that is not yet listed in the damage list in the app must also be reported immediately and before the start of the journey by calling our support hotline (0341/4921000) must be reported. This also includes heavy soiling or missing utensils. Please never use the vehicle if the safety appears to be impaired by the damage found.
According to the overview of fees in the LeipzigMOVE appendix, self-support is €1,500.
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. If the vehicle has already been booked by another user after you, it is unfortunately not possible to extend the booking in the app. Please call the hotline anyway so that a solution can be found with the next customer. This will also reduce the penalty payment.
You can shorten your booking via the app if you are back at the station much earlier than planned. You will then only be charged half of the time price for the originally booked period.
No, the use of a vehicle by another person is not possible. Making your account or a vehicle freely available to friends or family members is therefore not permitted and will result in the termination of your contract.
After you have entered your driving license details when completing your profile or subsequently in your profile, you must have your driving license checked before making your first booking. The LVB team is available for this purpose at the following service centers:
Service Center Markgrafenstraße 2, 04109 Leipzig
Mobility Center at Leipzig Central Station Willy-Brandt-Platz, 04109 Leipzig
For opening hours see https://www.l.de/verkehrsbetriebe/kundenservice/servicezentren/.
Your first booking is possible the following day. Have a good trip.
You don't need to have cash or a debit card with you, as you can pay for your journey conveniently via your LeipzigMOVE account using the payment method you have selected. At the end of the journey, the cab driver will give you a receipt for the amount to be paid. Sign it to confirm the fare. This exact amount will also appear later on your LeipzigMOVE invoice.
Yes, you can cancel your journey free of charge before it starts. Simply click on "Cancel" in your app booking.
For various reasons, the cab may take a little longer to get to you. The cab may still be on its way to you. However, you can also cancel the cab request if no driver appears. As long as you have not yet started the journey, you will not incur any costs.
For requests that are not covered by the "Options" function, you must contact the cab company 4884 by telephone on 0341/4884 report. In this case, your booking will not be processed and billed via the LeipzigMOVE app but directly via the cab company.
If you are dependent on an accessible cab, please call the cab company 4884 directly on 0341/4884. This allows the cab company to respond specifically to your request. In this case, your booking is not processed and billed via the LeipzigMOVE app but directly via the cab company.
The activation fee for e-scooters is €1 per ride. As soon as you start the rental, you pay an additional €0.22 for every minute or part thereof. This applies to the e-scooters of both partners (Voi and TIER (dott)).
All journeys with Leipzig e-scooters must end at a designated e-scooter parking area. The stations (mobility stations) are shown on the map in the LeipzigMOVE app. They are marked with a purple e-scooter icon.
Please note that parking e-scooters outside the stations is not permitted and will be penalized with a €25 fine. In addition, the journey cannot be completed, so the price per minute will continue to apply.
No, you do not need a driver's license to ride an e-scooter (scooter) in Leipzig. However, to be able to rent an e-scooter from LeipzigMOVE, you must be at least 18 years old. Also make sure that you are fit to drive.
To start your ride, scan the QR code on the handlebars or enter the multi-digit code manually in the app and tap on "Start rental". The e-scooter is ready to go.
Make sure that your chosen e-scooter is fully functional to ensure a safe ride. If the e-scooter is damaged, please report this damage to the LeipzigMOVE hotline at E-Scooter (+49 341 492 1000). Customer support will let you know whether the e-scooter is still roadworthy.
To end the journey, park the e-scooter properly in a marked parking space, tap on "End" in the bottom right-hand corner of your active booking and then on "End journey". If you have any problems ending the ride, please call the LeipzigMOVE hotline at E-Scooter (+49 341 492 1000).
- To get going, stand on the e-scooter with one foot and push off with the other.
- Press the accelerator lever on the handlebars down with your right hand to pick up speed.
- Release the lever or carefully apply the handbrake on the left or right to slow down the e-scooter.
- Use the indicators on the right and left to show other road users where you are going.
- Put the e-scooter back on the stand when you have finished your ride.
Please report any accidents, collisions, damage, bodily injury, stolen or lost vehicles to the LeipzigMOVE hotline at E-Scooter (+49 341 492 1000). In the event of damage, you must contact us by telephone to find out whether you can continue your journey.
You must also report an accident involving personal injury, property damage or other damage to third parties to the local police immediately. This also applies if the vehicle was stolen while you were driving.
The maximum rental time including the paused time is 60 minutes. After that, the ride ends automatically. If you do not move the Voi e-scooter for 10 minutes or the TIER (dott) e-scooter for longer than 30 minutes, the ride will also end automatically.
Riding the e-scooter under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication is prohibited. It impairs your sense of balance, your reaction time and your judgment. This puts you and other road users at risk.
No, because you are not allowed to leave an e-scooter opened with your account to another person.
Always ride sober, do not take another person with you on your e-scooter or leave the e-scooter to another person and wear a helmet for your own safety.
You may only ride your e-scooter on marked cycle paths or on the road. Always ride responsibly and be considerate of others.

It is not necessary to carry the chip card for the D-Ticket. The D-Ticket in MOVE in conjunction with a valid ID document is sufficient as authorization to travel.
As a customer, you are obliged to carry a valid ticket. If you do not have your chip card with you and cannot show a D-Ticket in LeipzigMOVE, you will not be able to continue your journey.

No, the D-Ticket is only valid for public transport. For bike & car sharing, as well as all other LeipzigMOVE offers, you can simply sign a MOVE or MOVE+ contract under "Complete profile" and start riding immediately.
No, you can only add one D-ticket to a MOVE account. If you have already added your own ticket, you cannot add any more.

No, this is not possible. Only D-Tickets purchased from LVB can be used with MOVE.
