Question 1

What is the rookie fee?

Accepted Answer

The rookie fee is a measure that only applies to younger drivers aged 18 to 20, who are newer and less experienced. This small fee applies to each ride in addition to the base fee.

This measure aims at sustaining the accessibility of car-sharing for everyone so that younger drivers can find a car when they need one through an affordable fee structure.

Question 2

Do I have to pay the toll costs?

The toll sticker (vignette) for motorways and expressways is covered in Vienna for Austria. However, in other Free2move countries, you are expected to pay the toll costs when you drive on the motorways.

In an insurance policy, the deductible is the amount paid out of pocket by the policyholder before an insurance provider will pay any expenses.

Question 6

Why does the minute rate change according to time and location?

Accepted Answer

You might have noticed that the minute rate for each car changes depending on where and when you look in the app. The reason is: availability! Sometimes there are too few or too many cars when and where you need them. To get cars moving to the right spots, the minute rate automatically adjusts itself based on time and location.

The advantages: ✓ Cars in low demand areas are discounted daily so they are more likely to be driven. ✓ For just a few cents more or less, demand and supply are brought back into balance. ✓ This improves the availability of cars throughout the Home Area so you can find a car at the right place and time – for the right price. ✓ Our prices are capped and never exceed the maximum price range.

You can always see the latest minute rate by tapping on a car. Simply look out for cars with red stickers in the app to enjoy the lowest price. Happy bargain-hunting!

Question 7

Are there additional costs if I exceed the time or mileage included in my rate?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After you exceed the fixed time or fixed mileage of the rate, a different fee for each additional minute and/or kilometre will apply. This is charged on top of the rate price. To see these additional fees, simply tap on a rate in the app. Detailed pricing information will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Minute rate ✓ After 200 km, the long distance rate of 0,39 € per additional kilometre will apply.

Hourly rates ✓ After time runs out, the overtime minute rate (rate depends on car model) will apply.

Daily rates ✓ After time runs out, the overtime minute rate (rate depends on car model) will apply.
