Lime charges a fixed cost to unlock each vehicle and a per-minute rate when you ride. Rates may vary across different locations and times of day.
Finding your local rate
You can find rates for your location in the app before you start your ride. Either tap the vehicle icon or scan the QR code on a vehicle to view local rates.
In some locations, the price for each ride also includes local costs, permit fees, or surcharges, including:
- City permit fees or surcharges cover operating fees Lime pays to a city or university to operate there. You can see the fee amount before you start your ride in the app or by scanning the QR code for a vehicle. City and university fees are taxable.
- Local costs cover the expenses incurred by Lime to comply with certain regulations imposed on companies that rent e-scooters. This includes rider liability insurance coverage for third-party damages caused by a rider's negligence.
