In bike leasing, as an employee, you can lease a bike through your employer for three or four years. The monthly bike rent is covered by a portion of your gross salary. If you were to receive this part of your salary directly, you would have to pay various taxes and deductions, leading to a lower net amount. This includes taxes like social security, regular taxes, and employer contributions.
However, when you opt for bike leasing, you can use this specific portion of your gross salary to cover the lease and effectively avoid those taxes and deductions. This means the entire amount can go towards your bike instead of being reduced by taxes, as would otherwise be the case.
While your net salary is slightly adjusted based on the lowered gross salary, the benefits of biking far outweigh the minor reduction in net pay.
At the end of the lease period, you'll need to pay a small fee to officially become the owner of your bike.
At the end of the rental period, you have the option to buy the bike at its residual value. As the end of the rental approaches its final weeks, you will thus receive a message from B2Bike. If you choose to take over the bike, we will prepare an invoice for the purchase, which can be easily paid online. If you prefer not to buy the bike, you can simply return it to your B2Bike dealer on the rental end date. The bike won't go to waste because after the rental period without purchase, B2Bike will offer the bike for resale on the second-hand market for a second life!
The answer is simple: you can choose any type of bicycle that is permitted within your company's bicycle policy and that can be found within our network. Within this, you completely choose which type of bicycle you wish to lease according to your specific route and budget! In that case, any brand and model that can be found at the more than 800 bicycle shops in our network can be considered. Your dealer can certainly give you useful advice if you indicate how intensely you want to use the bicycle and other preferences in terms of driving behavior, appearance, etc. Even custom-made bicycles are among the options!
No, the bicycle remains the property of the leasing company during the term. After the lease you will have the opportunity to take over the bicycle at an affordable rate. When using the bicycle, you must treat it as a responsible driver and maintain it properly. You can also use the B2Bike service passes and the good advice and technical workshops of our dealers for this.
This is possible subject to payment of a termination fee when you return the bicycle. When taking over the bicycle, we look at the outstanding debt to determine the acquisition price.
To connect your two leases, you can indeed start a new application in advance. Once that file is approved, the bicycle shop will be notified of the date from which the new bicycle can be collected. This means there is no overlap between the two lease files and you will not run into problems with the wage exchange. On average, employees start a new application 3 months before the end of the lease. However, a maximum term can be specifically determined in the employer's bicycle policy, so be sure to inquire about this in advance with us or your HR department.
Please contact B2Bike via [email protected]. We will then deactivate the lost card to prevent misuse and provide a new card. You can then collect it from your dealer. After deducting an administrative cost of €10, the correct balance will immediately be shown!
That's perfectly possible: the service pass is valid in every store in the B2Bike network. Please check with the dealer in question whether they have the necessary specialization & parts for your bicycle brand or type of bicycle. They may still have to refer you to a colleague. We therefore recommend that you use the dealer where you leased the bike as much as possible: after all, this is the one who has the right parts and tools to service your brand and they know you and your bicycle best.
The bicycle shop makes an estimate of the damage and the insurer and the leasing company are informed of this. Sometimes insurance can request a damage report of the circumstances and photos. When the insurer approves the claim file, a repair invoice is issued. If the insurance company intervenes, you can count on a replacement bicycle, so you can always have peace of mind on the road.
