What should I do if I’m involved in an accident?
If you’re involved in an accident during a rental, it’s important to act quickly. Here’s what to do:
Immediately contact Pikyrent Customer Service and describe:
- how the accident occurred,

Stay at the scene of the accident until a Pikyrent operator arrives, unless you require urgent medical assistance. In that case, call emergency services right away.

Remember to:

not allowed on ring roads, highways, motorways, or roads with engine size restrictions. - Category L7 vehicles (e.g. ZD microcars):

Can I pause the rental during my trip?
Yes, during your rental you can take breaks, even outside the operational area, as long as the vehicle is parked properly and in accordance with parking regulations.
The pause can last up to 30 minutes, during which a reduced rate will apply.
If the pause exceeds 30 minutes, the rental will automatically continue under the standard per-minute rate for the vehicle type used.
What do the colored areas on the map mean?
On the Pikyrent app map, different colored areas indicate how the service works based on your location:
- Blue area: This is the Operational Area, where you can start and end rentals and pause your vehicle.
- Red areas: These are zones where you can drive and park, but cannot end the rental.
- Orange areas: Temporarily restricted zones where you can neither park nor end the rental, due to public order or local limitations.
You are allowed to drive freely outside the blue area, and also pause the vehicle if needed.
However, to end the rental, you must always return to the Operational Area.
Where can I park a Pikyrent vehicle?
With Pikyrent, you can park freely, as long as you follow a few essential rules:
If you want to end your rental:
- Make sure you’re inside the operational area, highlighted in blue on the app map.
- You cannot end your rental outside of the operational area.
If you want to pause your rental:
- You can park outside the operational area, but the pause time will be billed separately according to the current rates.
Parking rules to always respect
In all cases (pause or end of rental), the Highway Code must be followed.
Incorrect parking may result in fines or penalties charged to you.
Is the cargo safe during transport in the Piky Cargo?
Yes. The Piky Cargo is designed to ensure maximum safety even while transporting materials.
A vertical partition wall separates the cargo area from the driver’s seat. This barrier is designed to:
- protect the driver from the load in case of sudden stops or sharp turns
- provide sufficient space for transporting items
- ensure driving comfort
To enhance load stability, there are hooks to fasten tie-down straps, ideal for securing fragile or unstable items.
The partition wall has a height designed to stay below the window line, allowing for 360° visibility, which is essential for safe city driving.
