'CityBee' parking zones
‘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.
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.
Payment for fuel
When using CityBee, you don’t have to pay for fuel yourself – you only pay for the time and kilometers you drive.
Refueling is easy!
Go to any of our partner Circle K gas stations. Open the CityBee app and start the refueling. Follow the simple instructions, fill up, and hit the road!
If the fuel is below 1/4 of the tank, you’ll receive a €2 discount for topping up.
Step by Step refueling guide
-
Check the Reservation map in the app to see nearby fuel stations. Tap a station for details and directions, then drive there.
-
When you arrive, tap the notification or open the CityBee app, go to Reservation, and select Refuel.
-
The app shows available pumps. Pick your pump, activate it, and wait for confirmation.
-
When it says, “Ready to fuel,” pick up the nozzle and start fueling. Return the nozzle when finished. The app will update the fueling status automatically.
-
If you decide not to refuel, you can cancel in two ways:
-
Manual cancel: Pick up the nozzle and immediately return it – the refueling is canceled.
-
Automatic cancel: If the nozzle is never picked up, the app will automatically cancel the refueling after 2 minutes of inactivity.
-
In rare cases, you may need to use the fuel card inside the car. This happens if the pump doesn’t work via the app or if you’re refueling outside the Baltic States. The CityBee app shows the PIN code and fuel type under your active reservation.

Radar function
The radar function in the CityBee app helps the user to be the first to know if any of the CityBee cars are nearby his location at a specific time chosen by the user.
The radar function icon can be found in the “Search” section of the app, to the left of the “Filter” icon. When you click on the icon and activate the radar, it will turn blue.
The minimum radar distance is 150 meters, the maximum – 1250 meters.
When activating the radar, you can choose between two options:
Notification without automatic reservation – when a CityBee car appears at the specified time and distance, the app will send a message to the user to inform them about it.
Automatic reservation – when a CityBee car appears at the specified time and distance, an automatic car reservation will be made by choosing the “Pay as you go” tariff. The tariff can be changed after car reservation. Car reservation remains free until the end of the free reservation period (15 min).
Additional information:
The radar function will be activated at the specified time and will remain active until you reserve your car. If the car is not available within 2 hours, the radar will switch off. The radar function detects only cars that are incoming in the current location of the user and chosen distance when the radar function is activated.
