Dockless vehicles park on-street inside app-approved zones; there is no station to return them to.

Several distinct rental-product families rather than one uniform tariff, structure only (no amounts recorded per policy): a short-term day-rate product ('Bérbringa', up to roughly 10 days); a monthly/seasonal subscription for the riding season ('Idénybringa'); a long-term instalment product running 24-36 months with monthly payments ('Tartósbringa'); an outright-purchase option ('Örökbringa'); and a straightforward minute-based bike-share subscription ('Közbringa') sold as a monthly pass, with a separate, higher monthly tier that also covers the e-bike fleet. Rates change often; the app shows the current price before you unlock.
