How to end the Zity rental.

If you’re using a Renault ZOE:

• Position the driving stick on P
• Pull the handbrake
• Press the “START/STOP” button on the right side of the steering wheel.

If you’re using a Dacia Spring:

• Hold the brake down,
• Turn the driving knob on the N position,
• Turn the key all the way, then pull the handbrake.

Make sure the lights are switched off and all doors and windows are closed. Once you are out of the vehicle, open the Zity app and press “Finalize”. Wait a few seconds and the vehicle will close: your trip is officially over.

You can park for free at any public parking spaces (free or chargeable) in our Zity service area, apart from private car parks or underground parking garages (even in Stand By mode), as well as spaces reserved for electrical or shared vehicles and market areas. In compliance with the highway code, you can’t end your rental in loading and unloading areas, spaces reserved for people with disabilities, those reserved for authorities and those in constructions areas.

To make your life easier, we take care of recharging the vehicles, Zityzens are not allowed to do it. If you want to rent a Zity for several days and drive beyond the vehicle’s autonomy, you will have to return the first car in the service area (with at least 10km of range) and rent a new one. However, with the filters on the right side of the app, you can choose the most charged Zitys around you: let’Z go!

All users have the duty to leave the vehicle with a battery range of at least 10 km. If this level is reached, you must park the vehicle safely in accordance with parking regulations and end your trip. Otherwise, a “low battery” surcharge may be applied, as specified in the RTC.

Vehicles must be returned with a minimum battery range of 10 km. Ending a rental with a battery range inferior to 10km may result in financial penalties. The battery range is visible at all times on the vehicle’s dashboard.

The Stand By mode allows you to pause the rental of your Zity anywhere (except in covered and underground parking garages), inside or outside the Zity service area, keeping the vehicle reserved in your name. Stand By is offered at a reduced price (see Pricing Policy).

To switch to/off Stand By mode, press the “Standby” button in the Zity app during your rental and choose either “Activate standby” to activate it, or “Continue” to deactivate it. When you lock the vehicle, the system automatically switches from driving rates to Stand By rates and vice versa.

You can check the vehicle’s battery range directly from the Zity app or on the vehicle’s dashboard. Please note that this value is only an estimate and depends largely on the type of driving performed. Fully charged and under optimal driving conditions, our vehicles have an autonomy close to:

• 300 km for the Renault ZOE
• 230 km for the Dacia Spring (305 km in urban cycle)

Please note that the battery empties more rapidly on the freeway. We recommend that you always retain a safety reserve.

Our vehicles can only be driven by the user who rented the vehicle for the trip. Allowing third parties to drive the vehicle would constitute a violation of the Rental Terms & Conditions (RTC) and could lead to a financial penalty.

If the vehicle is already damaged before the start of the rental, please report it immediately on the Zity app. To do so, click on “Damage report” before you start driving the vehicle. You can also send us photos of the damage at bonjour@zity.eco or contact us through the Zity app, click on the icon and select Customer service.

You can drive your Zity wherever you want, always respecting the highway code and our General Conditions of Use (GCU). You can leave the Zity service area, provided you return and complete your journey within it.
