Pricing has been changed to be more flexible, more accessible and better adapted to the needs and desires of more customers. This allows us to offer you short trips that are less expensive with regular BIXI bikes and no longer limit your travel time. You now only pay for the time you use. Not a penny more.
Electric BIXI bikes require more mechanical attention. They are more frequently transported to the warehouse, where the CycloChrome team provides expert maintenance. They also require the care of a ground team dedicated to recharging their batteries to ensure that they are always sufficiently powered for your trips.
Not at the moment. However, we remain open to evaluating this possibility for future seasons. Until then, current memberships offer a substantial discount on BIXI electric minutes
No. The initial fee simply allows you to proceed with the bike rental by unlocking the bike of your choice. Afterwards, you can cycle for as long as you like, and each minute will be billed individually.
Yes! 45 minutes of regular BIXI travel time are included with your seasonal or monthly membership.
Yes! A one-way ticket can be purchased when you need it via the BIXI mobile app or the kiosk at most stations. For more details, see one-way fares.
The seasonal membership is available until May 31, 2024. You can purchase it here. After May 31, opt for a monthly membership.
When you join BIXI with a One-Way Pass, there is a pre-authorization hold of $100 per bike. This is not a charge against your credit card, it acts as a security deposit and gets returned to you. Holds can take up to 10 days to get released, depending on your credit card company. The hold release might take up to 30 days with an international credit card.
Seasonal and monthly memberships are offered via our website and the BIXI mobile application. If you do not have access to the Internet, simply contact our customer service at 514-789-BIXI (2494) or 1-877-820-2453. Open 24/7. Please note that payment is made by VISA, MasterCard or AMEX, and that an email address will be required. However, no security deposit will be charged to your card.
One-ways are available on the BIXI mobile app and at most of the BIXI station kiosks. Payment can be made using a VISA, MasterCard, or AMEX credit card. Please note that a security deposit of $100 per bike is placed on your credit card. This hold can take up to 10 days to get released, depending on your credit card company. With an international credit card, the hold can take up to 30 days to get released.
For BIXI members, usage fees (if applicable) for trips with an electric BIXI or for those of more than 45 minutes with a regular BIXI are billed on the 20th day of each month. You will receive an email each month letting you know when your online statement is available. Your statement can be viewed when you sign in to your online BIXI space. For a one-way, usage fees will be billed to your credit card at the end of your trip.
Yes. You have the option to subscribe without a credit card or prepaid credit card by becoming an additional member. The account and credit card holder will complete the subscription form to add you to the account and purchase a membership for you. This person will become responsible for the account and the financial transactions of all subscribers on his or her account.
A BIXI account holder with a valid credit card on file may pay for the expenses of several members. This person is responsible for the account and financial transactions of all his/her co-members, i.e., the amount of their respective memberships and their usage fees (if applicable). Only the account holder may renew the memberships of his/her co-members. If a co-member’s bike is lost, the charges will be billed to the account holder’s credit card. On the 20th day of each month, the account holder will receive an account statement detailing the charges of each member for whom the account holder is responsible.
