Renting a Donkey bike is as easy as these 6 steps. During the process the app will ask you for extra information along the way.
1. Install the Donkey Republic app from the Play Store on Android or App Store on iOS. Please give the app the the permissions it asks for.
2. In the app, find the most convenient pick-up location for you, tap on it and then select the bike(s) you would like to rent out (up to 5 vehicles per account) and tap on "Confirm selection".
3. Choose if you want to Just Ride (no memberships, just pay for the time used), a Membership (monthly, quarterly or yearly plans) or a Day Deal (special offers for fixed amount of time).
4. The options available depend on the city you are in, not all cities have the same pricing and options.
After you have selected the best option for you, you will be asked to create an account or to login to an existing one.
5. You will now be presented the rental confirmation screen, where you can enter any discount codes, add theft insurance or a bike reservation. You will also need to accept the terms and conditions to be able to rent. Once you have done so tap "Rent now".
6. Locate the bike at the pick-up location, make sure that the name in the app matches the bike you are next to, tap Unlock in the app and saddle up - you're good to go!

I would like to point out that it is not easy to find the subscription, and also it is not possible to subscribe with the app without using facebook
As memeber of epfl, I needed to find a way to subscribe with the epfl's adress, not with the facebook one
Hello. Are the bikes exactly like in the picture? It seems that quite a few of them are similar. Also I read about an insurance, do I have to buy separate insurance on top of the price for renting? By the way I was looking at Copenhagen as I'll be there in a few days.
Agree with Nicola, I only found how to sign up because I wanted to write a comment here agreeing with her. And magically found a sign up button after clicking 'Sign In'. Ridiculous.
And ironically now I cannot find a 'sign out'! Or my own profile at all! I suspect after posting this comment I'll have to click my own name. Who knows. Very poorly designed website!
Still no sign out button and now I realise that signing up here does not sign you up for the app. Where can we do this??
