Dear students,
this semester we have entered into a cooperation with Nextbike!
What does that mean for you?
In the summer semester 2024, from Monday the April 15, 2024 until September 30, 2024, HTW students can use the Nextbike bike rental system at special conditions.
Who can use the Nextbike service?
All currently enrolled students with an @student.htw-berlin.de e-mail.
What are the special conditions?
- Each rental up to 60 minutes is free of charge for participants
- For a journey of more than 60 minutes per ride, € 1.00 incl. VAT is charged for each additional 30 minutes. The maximum daily rate is € 15.00 incl. VAT.
- If up to 3 additional nextbike bikes are rented on a customer account, the billing per nextbike bike is based on the basic rate, i.e. € 1.00 per 15 minutes incl. VAT / maximum daily rate € 15.00 incl. VAT.
- Each participant can rent up to four bikes at the same time via their customer account. However, the above conditions only apply to one rented bike at a time. The prices according to the price list of the contractual bike rental system apply to additional bikes rented.
But be careful! Always park your bike at a physical or virtual station, otherwise you will receive a fine. (If you receive a fine by mistake, please contact Nextbike support)How often can I use the free rides?
You can use the free rides several times a day. However, you should always end the rental within 60 minutes. There is no limited number of free rides.
Does that only apply in Berlin?
You can use the offer in nextbike bike sharing systems throughout Germany! However, the following are excluded: Usedom, Bremen, Kiel, Munich, Nuremberg and Oldenburg.
What do you have to do?
- Download the “nextbike” app from the Android or iOS app store and create your account.
- You must enter payment information because you will still have to pay if you exceed the 60-minute limit or park incorrectly.
- Now link the HTW via the menu >> Wallet >> Link partner >> „CAMPUSbike HTW Berlin“
- Enter your @student.htw-berlin.de e-mail address. You will shortly receive a verification link in your university e-mail account. Confirm this!
- Wait 5-10 minutes
- It has worked if the active tariff and linked partner “CAMPUSbike HTW Berlin” is displayed.
Don't have a smartphone?
Unfortunately, this is a smartphone-only solution.
You don't want the offer?
No problem! You don’t have to do anything else.
Do you have technical problems?
In case of technical problems (e.g. log-in not working), please contact Nextbike customer support.
Who pays for it?
We pay for the contract from the student body’s reserves (StuPa resolution 7.1 “Bikesharing” from April 5, 2024 – link here). The university has also offered to contribute to the costs. We would like to thank the university management for their quick assurance.
What happens after this semester?
The cooperation is initially a pilot project and we are gathering experience and seeing how many students use the offer. If it is well received, we will be happy to see whether we can continue the offer with Nextbike.
Drive responsibly and have a great summer 😊!
