To subscribe to CityBee, open the CityBee app and go to the ‘Subscription’ section. Choose the plan that best suits you from the available options. The plan cost will be automatically charged to the payment card linked to your CityBee account. Once the payment is successful, you’ll receive a confirmation email. The purchased plan will be activated immediately and will be valid for 30 days.
When reserving a car, you have two options:
· Choose a car, click on “Reserve,” and you will get a free 15-minute reservation, giving you access to the car for unlocking
· If you do not unlock the car within this 15-minute window, your reservation will automatically end unless you choose to pay for an extension.
If 15 minutes isn’t enough, you can extend your reservation for longer periods, but keep in mind:
· You can easily extend your reservation through the app after you’ve booked the car. Just click on Reservation and then select Extend.
· After the 15 minutes expire, the paid reservation time will begin. The cost per reserved minute is the same as the cost per minute when driving the car;
· You can extend the reservation for up to 24 hours;
· If you do not unlock the car by selecting “Unlock” in the app, the reservation will automatically end, and you will be charged for the time the reservation was active.
You can cancel a paid reservation at any time, and you will only be charged for the time used.
Once you’ve reached the car, click “Unlock” in the app. The car will unlock, and the keys will be inside the vehicle.
If you encounter any issues while trying to unlock the car using the app, please contact us by phone, and our 24-hour Beehive Assistance Center will be happy to help:

The CityBee subscription plan does not automatically renew when it expires. However, if needed, you can purchase a new plan to continue your subscription.
Vans have their own parking zones, which are different from the ones for cars. Just tap the van icon in the app to see where you can go. The color-coding works the same way you’re used to:
– Clear zones – Park or end your trip here anytime, as long as you follow regular parking rules
– Yellow zones – These might add a small fee or give you a discount when you start or finish a trip. Tap the € symbol to check the exact amount for that zone
– Grey zones – No ending trips here, sorry!
The good news? You don’t have to bring the van back to where you picked it up. Any allowed van zone works.
One thing to keep in mind: Electric vans have their own special zones. If you plan to drive an electric van, make sure to select it in the app, that way you’ll only see their specific zones.
For more details on parking zones, see our guide here.
In that case, we recommend purchasing a pre-paid trip package. Before starting your trip, you can choose whether you want to use a subscription plan trip or buy a pre-paid package. You can select from available packages or create your own.
‘CityBee’ zones shown on the app map indicate where you can start, pause, or end your trip. Always follow local traffic and parking rules, and avoid restricted areas such as ‘No Parking’, ‘Reserved’, or private spaces.
Please do not leave ‘CityBee’ cars in underground or multi-story car parks, private driveways, lawns, or areas with time-regulated parking.
Important: parking zones are different for passenger, van, and electric van vehicles.
Zone Types and How They Work
Transparent (light) areas are the main ‘CityBee’ zones. Here, you can freely end your trip or park temporarily free of charges as long as you follow parking rules and don’t use disabled, reserved, or private spots. If you park in a private paid lot such as Citypark, Unipark, Europark (unless stated otherwise), you are responsible for the parking fee.
Yellow zones may include an extra fee or a discount when starting or ending a trip, depending on the zone. Tap the yellow zone or (€) icon in the app to view details.
Grey (dark) zones are areas where trips cannot be ended. You can drive through them or park temporarily, but if you do, you’ll need to pay any parking fees yourself.
If you want to finish your trip, you must move to a transparent or yellow zone.
Private or Paid Parking Lots
Parking in private paid lots is allowed unless stated otherwise, but you will need to cover the parking cost yourself.
Country-Specific Parking Rules
Lithuania: You can park the car in public city parking free of charge if it’s a ‘CityBee’ permitted zone displayed in the app. Be aware of private parking exceptions and traffic rules described above. You can find parking zones in Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda, Palanga, Kretinga, Gargždai, Jonava and Rukla.
Latvia: You can freely park the car in public city spaces in Riga, Jūrmala (no need to buy entry pass), Liepāja, Ventspils and Ādaži. If the car is parked in a private paid parking lot (e.g., Citypark, Europark), except for these exceptions, the driver covers the parking fee themselves. Riga City Parking zones, except for Zone R, are free of charge for ‘CityBee’ users.
Estonia: Parking is free in public city spaces (except Old Town) and in selected Europark private car parks. If you park in a private paid lot, you must pay for parking yourself.
Travelling Between Cities and Countries
❗ You’re welcome to take a CityBee car across the Baltics (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia) and finish your trip in any CityBee zone you see in the app. Just keep in mind that a €69 cross-border fee applies when a trip starts in Latvia or Estonia and ends in Lithuania.
More information about the reason for this additional fee can be found here.
If you end the trip in Latvia or Estonia, no additional fees will be charged.
Van drivers should note that in some cases, road vignettes or passes may need to be purchased separately, depending on local regulations.
Before You End Your Trip
1. Open the ‘CityBee’ app, click ‘Reservation’ and check your current zone.
2. Ensure you are in a transparent or yellow zone.
3. Review any applicable fee or discount in the app.
4. Confirm you are parked correctly according to traffic and parking rules.
5. Avoid grey zones, restricted areas, or private driveways.
CityBee users do not need to purchase a Jūrmala entry pass.
