Riding Freebee After September 1st, 2025
*Starting September 1st, Freebee rides will begin to charge non-residents on a per ride basis, at $3 per passenger. Freebee will stay free for St. Pete Beach residents who complete a one-time registration. If you're a resident, here’s what that means for you:
Register in person. Online registration isn’t available. To register, stop by the St. Pete Beach Community Center (7701 Boca Ciega Dr - open Mon–Fri, 7 AM–6 PM) with two forms of proof of residency. City staff will verify your information and link it to the Freebee system.
Guests ride free with you. Whether you’re taking your kids, family, or friends along, as long as you (the registered resident) request the ride, everyone rides free. Drivers won’t be checking who’s a resident and who’s not.
Don’t stress if you’re away. Registration doesn’t end on September 1, you can sign up anytime before your first ride after that date.
No paperwork needed. Once you’re registered, you’re all set! Drivers confirm your status directly in the app, so you won’t need to show anything.
Refunds. There are no refunds for unregistered trips, if you have any issues with your payment or believe a refund is necessary, please contact us through ridefreebee.com/contact.
Adding Payment Details
Before requesting a ride on the Ride Freebee app, it is important to have a valid credit or debit card added to your account. This ensures a smooth and hassle-free experience when using the service. Please note that if you're not a pre-registered resident, the Ride Freebee app will not allow you to fully request a ride until you have added these details. There are two easy ways to add a payment method on the Ride Freebee app:
Method 1: Adding a Payment Method at the "Confirm your ride" Screen
When you are ready to request your ride, you will be taken to the "Confirm your ride" screen. At the bottom of this screen, you will see a fillable section that requires you to add and fill out your payment information.
Method 2: Adding a Payment Method through the Ride Freebee App Home Screen
If you prefer to add a payment method before requesting a ride, you can do so through the Ride Freebee app home screen. Simply tap on the three adjacent lines on the top right corner to bring up the menu. From the menu, select "Payments" and then "Add credit/debit card". You will then be prompted to fill out all of the required fields.
