Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: A message popped up when I was renting a scooter for the first time, saying that a $30.00 hold would be placed on my credit card. Does this mean that I have to load $30.00 onto my Spin account before I can rent a scooter?
A: No. The credit hold is simply verifying that you have enough available credit for a long rental period. Nothing is charged until you end your ride and the exact amount owed is calculated. You will only be charged for the time that you have used.

Q: If I ride a scooter from ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ to downtown, and later decide to catch a ride back to ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ with friends, can I leave the scooter downtown?
A: Yes. All scooters are equipped with GPS transponders. Spin will pick up the scooter and bring it back to ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ.

Q: If I park a scooter and go to class, but do not end my ride within the app so that I know the scooter will be there for me when I'm finished, will I be charged for the entire time my ride was active?
A: Yes. Keeping your ride active is a way to reserve a scooter so that no one else can use it, but you must pay for that time. Most ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ locations will have additional scooters nearby should someone rent the scooter you just finished using.

Q: How do I report a damaged scooter or other issue?
