The hvv switch points may only be used by the affiliated mobility partners and their customers. The same applies to the charging infrastructure. Private users or non-affiliated mobility services can, for example, use the public charging infrastructure in Hamburg.

MasterCard, Visa and American Express (Amex) are accepted as card payment methods at hvv switch.

No, unfortunately it’s not. hvv switch is still intended solely for private use. This means you need to enter the same postal address in your account that appears in your ID documentation. This address is also included on your individual invoices.

No, this is not possible. Only in Hamburg can you use Voi via the hvv switch app.

When a journey is started in the hvv switch app, the system reserves a fixed amount, also known as a pre-authorisation. This is to ensure that you have enough credit on your payment method to be able to pay for the journey later. At the end of the journey, only the amount actually used is collected; the remaining amount is released again afterwards.
