Elsa took the time to explain the terms and conditions and was patient with my issues
James helped quickly with my query and my experience was so positive. I think beryl know they have some issues with locking bikes and always are quick to put the users first instead of sending you off and stating terms and conditions. 👌🏽
Ever since I’ve used beryl bikes Evan has been there since the trenches, he’s saved me so much money and been so fast to help . 10/10 service
What went right when I came to the end of my ride. It wouldn't lock and then it kept charging me and charging me. Could not contact anyone because it was 1030 at night. The main problem is the app is linked to your bank and so when your minutes run out the money keeps coming out. I use a lot of bikes and occasionally this has happened but was daytime so someone could be contacted and ride could be ended not this time though.

I like many others have been locked out of my account this has had a terrible impact of my wellbeing and shows the awful incompetence of the company. The automated response is pathetic and won't cut the mustard. Let it be known the longer this company holds a strop over legitimate discount code usage the worse business will become for them because I for one will not be held for ransom because of an error that has nothing to do with me, as i trust many others will not either. Be warned Beryl.

Always a pleasure to speak to all the staff verry quick to respond as soon as there on shift and are always happy to sort out any issues really enjoy beryl keep it up !!!
Beryl have locked me out of my account for using a disocunt code. My friend had been liaising with Scott who is not taking on responsibility themselves as a company for not making the discount code one use and have instead locked me out of my account. I am absolutely fuming and strongly suggest that no one else uses this company as they cannot take responsibility for their own mistakes and instead blame the costumer!!

My account was recently blocked after I used a discount code that had been passed on to me. I had no idea that using the code was against their policy—it was not clearly stated anywhere, and I genuinely believed I was using it appropriately.
Instead of giving me a warning or an explanation, they went straight to suspending my account without any chance to clarify the situation.
I’ve contacted their support in the hope of resolving this, but their response is vague and they have not given me any reassurance that my account will be reinstated which has left me frustrated. It seems absurd to punish customers for a mistake that is clearly not my fault.

After using a promo code given to me by a friend that gave me an amount of free minutes, without warning, Beryl Bikes blocked my account from using their service, accusing me of fraud. After contacting their customer service team, they doubled down on the notion that my activity was fraudulent and that by using this code it was a breach of their terms of service, and on closer inspection, it became apparent that they had not only blocked my account, but also my device from being able to use their service.
Whilst I understand that the code may not have been intended for me, this was a legitimate code, so blocking my access as well as making accusations of fraud is absolutely ludicrous and offensive. This was Beryl Bikes error, but they have placed the blame on the end user. I would have understood, to an extent, if they realised their error and removed the code and minutes, but the removal of service to this extent is absolutely insane, especially for a service run in partnership with the local council.

I'm genuinely astonished at the level of incompetence and poor business practice demonstrated here.
I had planned to complete part of a journey using a beryl bike - instead I was locked out of my account without any explanation and forced to walk for miles through treacherous terrain. After finally managing to get hold of customer support I was told bizarrely that I was being accused of fraud.
My alleged crime? Using a publicly available discount code. Yes, you read that correctly. I was penalised for doing precisely what every customer is encouraged to do - applying a discount that was not marked as restricted in any clear way.
To have my integrity questioned over this is frankly insulting. Rather than taking the opportunity to resolve the matter professionally, the company doubled down on their accusation. I can assure you that my legal and PR team are now fully briefed, because this is not how you respond when the fault lies squarely with your own systems.
In summary: if you enjoy being randomly locked out, accused of dishonesty, and generally treated like a criminal mastermind for using a promo code, this is the company for you. Otherwise, I strongly suggest taking your business elsewhere.

They have banned lots of local customer accounts en masse, without communication or reasons why. When emailed they claimed "fraud". There is no fraud in using a voucher code that the business themselves created and shared for use. They have stopped replying, leaving tens of customers without access to their paid for accounts. Also they have over reached massively by banning all devices for each user. This is way above any acceptable response, even if we'd done something wrong!
They have messed up, refused to engage or apologise, and blamed the customer for their mistake!

I was passed a discount code by a friend, which seemed wonderful to be able to trial the bikes which I have been enjoying. Today I have discovered that they have banned anyone using the code, their email addresses and devices, this is their fault for issuing the code, not a consumer problem. As a business owner I generate, activate and disable discount codes all of the time - they are my responsibility to manage. The way that this company is dealing with this issue is totally unacceptable

I used a discount code for some free ride minutes and then they banned my account and blocked my device from making a new account.
They created a discount code, that people used and now they're breaching their own Ts&C's to prevent losses that they caused.
Disgraceful tbh

Found a promo code to get some free minutes, which I thought was really cool. Used the code and they have now accused me of fraud for doing so and have permabanned my account meaning I can't ever use their bikes. Absolutely ridiculous, I'm beyond livid

I used a disocunt code tghat gave me some free minute that a freind sent me!
Next week they banned my account and accused me of fraud! for useing a disocunt code.
I don't actually use the bikes much cos they are awful to use, but i'm furious that they are telling me that i should not have used a disocunt code that tjhey created and that I have commited fraud, rtaher than they made a mistake!

I was sent a discount code by a friend for some free minutes which I was really pleased about as i have been trying to be more active. Unfortunately due to some error by the company about the discount code I have not only had those minutes deleted but have been fully banned from my account with no warning or word about why. Atrocious lack of service due to what can only be their mistake.

Used the Beryl bikes in Brighton this week. Amazing! All services working well and so many choices of safe off road cycle routes. If you are cycling along the road there are dedicated cycle lanes. So much better than any other areas I have cycled in this country. All beryls we hired worked well, unlocked easily (had issues before in Bournemouth) and there were many Beryls readily available. We took a ride from Brighton all the way to Saltdean Lido which is 5 miles and there’s a Beryl bay right outside the lido. Perfect. Highly recommended
