Payment & BikUp commission

Bike trip

The BikUp commission

Signing up on BikUp is free, but it involves operating costs (hosting, accounting, moderation-related expenses, etc.). To operate, BikUp charges a 5% commission on your rentals.

How much will you earn per rental?

When publishing your listing, you set a daily rental price. For each rental, BikUp takes a 5% commission to cover operating costs.

For example, if you list your bike at €20 per day and it’s rented for 5 days, you will receive €95.
Earnings = €20 × 5 days × (1 − 0.05) = €95
