We have 1 600+ customer organisations, big and small, and from all imaginable industries.

When your employee leaves, their contract with Vapaus ends. They can choose to either buy their bike or return it to Vapaus. In some cases, they can also transfer their benefit bike contract either to a colleague within your company or to their new employer. Whatever happens, we'll make sure the bicycle doesn't become a burden for you. Contact support

Woo-hoo! Start by sending your basic company information here. We use the information to get a credit decision and speed up the process. After this, we will contact you to set up your bike benefit contract and guideline.
Yes you can. The only thing to note is that if you offer the bike benefit together with a commuter ticket benefit, their maximum combined taxable value is 3 400€ per year (per employee). The maximum taxable value of the bike benefit (1 200€ / year) means that the commuter ticket benefit's taxable value is limited to the remaining 2 200 € / year. The bike benefit does not affect any other benefits, like lunch, culture, or car benefit.
