  • The Citroën Ami has a maximum battery range of up to 75 km, but we recommend keeping a safe margin — actual usage depends on your driving style, weather, and terrain. Always monitor your dashboard during the ride — it shows the current battery level and remaining range in real time. Your AmiGo may be handed over with slightly less than 100% charge due to transfer logistics (handover point or hotel/Airbnb delivery).

  • Examples with buffer:
    — Iseltwald via Bönigen ~25 km RT
    — Roger’s Bakery in Wilderswil — ~12 km RT
    — Interlaken and Unterseen loop ~10 km
    — Groceries/chocolate add ~5–10 km

    Avoid highways and roads above 60 km/h and keep at least 5 km for return.

  • If you run out of battery or go outside the allowed area, towing and any extra costs are your responsibility. Always monitor the battery range on the dashboard and plan your trip within safe limits. Keep at least 5 km for safe return. Call us if you need help (number on your booking confirmation).

  • Yes. Charges on a normal household plug; includes an extension cord and an adapter for standard EV stations. A full charge takes ~3–4 hours. Charging costs are your responsibility.

  • Any standard outlet; includes cable + EV adapter. Full charge 3–4 hours. Public chargers in Interlaken include (examples): Hapimag (Höheweg 95), M‑Charge (Lindenallee 98), eCarUp/Migrol (Unterseen & Gymnasium). You can also check with your hotel/Airbnb host if on-site charging is possible.

    No highways, mountain passes, or roads over 60 km/h.

  • Yes — reasonably clean: no trash, food, or excessive mud/dirt (normal dust/splashes are fine). If it needs special cleaning (e.g., sticky spills, stains, pet hair, large amounts of mud/trash), a CHF 50 cleaning fee will be charged to your card.

  • You must return the AmiGo with at least 5 km of battery range showing on the dashboard. If it’s under 5 km and needs towing, towing/recovery costs are your responsibility.

  • You’re fully responsible. Small damages (scratches, dents, mirrors) are charged up to CHF 500 (deductible); cost is based on a local repair estimate and charged to your card. Larger repairs are covered by insurance, but the CHF 500 deductible always applies. Traffic fines are not covered by insurance and will be charged to your card — even if they arrive later. Administrative costs may apply.

    See our Terms & Conditions for full details.

  • Key replacement & reprogramming: CHF 200 fee. If the AmiGo becomes unusable or needs towing as a result, additional charges may apply. Keep the key safe; never leave it unattended in the vehicle.

  • We offer a 15-minute grace period for returns. After that, a CHF 50 per hour (or part of an hour) late fee applies. Examples: 20–30 minutes late = CHF 50; 1h10 late = CHF 100. Charges are applied to your card automatically. Always let us know if you’re delayed (number on the booking confirmation) — it won’t remove the fee, but helps us coordinate logistics.
