Métrovélo
Short and long - term rental Station
For a business meeting or a family outing, all our rates are very affordable and the accessories – bike locks, baby seat, helmets – are free.
Save time on small everyday trips with a well-equipped bicycle, maintenance included ! And why not a fleet of "metrobikes" in your company or organisation: talk about it with your manager or HRD.... If you live less than 5 km from your workplace, try going by bike. You will be surprised by the results : you will save time and arrive at work full of energy, not to mention the money you will save. In fact, a large proportion of the 6 000 bikes in the Métrovélo fleet are used by customers who have made this practical and eco-citizen choice !
Rental - user information
Check if a bike is available in the agency of your choice and maybe weather conditions too – make sure you have the necessary papers
- identity papers: ID (passport, resident's permit or driving license)
- deposit:
- < 25 days contract: credit card or with the official paper from your bank details (IBAN + BIC or SWIFT CODE)
- > 26 days contract: ONLY with the official paper from your bank details (IBAN + BIC or SWIFT CODE)
Always attach your bike, even for short stops: bikes are rented with two high-quality locks: main U-shaped lock for attaching the frame to a fixed point and a secondary lock with a cable for attaching the rear wheel. If possible, keep your bike in closed premises on a storage hook overnight – visit the agency regularly for bike inspection and maintenance (approximately every two months under ordinary conditions); for major problems, visit the agency for emergency repairs – plan your trip: a windbreaker or rain cape and a small puncture-repair spray can be very practical for arriving at your destination dry and on time ! These accessories are on sale at the bike shops.
