Billing and Charges

How is pricing calculated?

keyboard_arrow_down

For time-based rates, pricing is based on how long you rent the charger. Your rental time starts when the charger is dispensed, and ends when the charger is returned to any chargeFUZE station. For flat rates, pricing is a one-time, flat rate. Additional fees may be added for chargers returned past their due date.

Why was I charged before I received the charger?

keyboard_arrow_down

To verify your payment method, we place a preauthorization hold on your card at the start of the charger rental. This is not a charge, and will disappear within 0-5 business days, depending on your bank or card issuer.

What is a pre-authorization hold?

keyboard_arrow_down

When you start a rental, a temporary hold is placed on your credit or debit card to confirm your payment method is valid and has sufficient funds. This is not a charge, and will disappear automatically.

How long does the hold last?

keyboard_arrow_down

The pre-authorization may appear as pending, and should drop off within a few days. Most holds are removed within 0-5 business days. In some cases, it may take longer depending on your bank or card issuer.

Where can I get more information about the hold?

keyboard_arrow_down

Contact your bank or card issuer directly. They can confirm that funds were not withdrawn, when the hold will be released, and how they handle pre-authorizations.

Late Fees and Overages

Why was I charged after returning the charger?

keyboard_arrow_down

A late fee may be applied if the charger was returned after the rental window stated in your SMS or app expires.

I was overcharged or see a charge I don't recognize

I canceled my rental, but still see a charge.

keyboard_arrow_down

Even canceled rentals may leave a pending pre-authorization, which should resolve shortly. For details, contact your bank or card issuer.

Can I get a receipt?

keyboard_arrow_down

Yes! Receipts are available in the chargeFUZE app under "Payment," sent via SMS upon ending your rental. You can also request one by contacting support here or texting support at +1 (213) 451-6667 with your rental details.
