What Is a "Lime" Charge on My Bank Statement?

A Lime charge is a rental fee for a Lime electric scooter or e-bike. Lime charges an unlock fee plus a per-minute rate, so longer rides cost more.

Plain-English explanation

Lime scooters charge an unlock fee (typically $1) plus a per-minute rate ($0.15–$0.42 depending on city). Longer or unintentionally running rides can add up. Lime also offers monthly subscriptions and day passes. Charges appear as 'Lime' or 'LIME PLUS' on your statement.

Most common reasons this appears

• Electric scooter or e-bike ride paid per minute
• Lime day pass purchase for unlimited short rides
• Lime subscription for regular riders

How to verify this charge

• Open the Lime app → Ride History to view trip details.
• Check the unlock fee plus per-minute charge for the trip duration.
• Contact Lime support at li.me/support for billing issues.

When to be concerned

• Very large charge suggesting a scooter was left running without ending the ride.
• Lime charge from a city where you haven't used the service.
• Multiple Lime charges from a single day.
