Dott has already removed its rental scooters from Budapest and will end its service across the rest of Hungary by November 15. The electric scooter-sharing operator, previously known as TIER, collected its vehicles from the capital on November 1.
Revb first reported the exit after Dott notified Gödöllő’s municipal government that it would stop offering electric scooter rentals in the town from November 15, 2026. The decision covers every Hungarian location where it operates, not just Gödöllő. Dott’s customer support has also confirmed to users that the scooters have disappeared because the service is shutting down.
The company hasn’t publicly explained why it is leaving Hungary. HVG points to planned tighter traffic rules for electric scooters as a possible factor: the government announced in October 2026 that it intended to introduce new regulations governing their use. There is, however, no evidence directly linking those proposals to Dott’s decision.
Some Revolut subscribers will also lose access in Hungary to a perk introduced just weeks before the withdrawal. Revolut launched its Dott partnership offer in mid-October, giving Premium, Metal and Ultra subscribers one free scooter ride each month, lasting 15, 20 or 30 minutes depending on their subscription plan. The benefit also covered the scooter’s unlocking fee.
The perk may still work abroad, in cities where Dott continues to operate.
The Hungarian exit does not mean Dott is shutting down internationally. Formed through the merger of TIER and Dott in 2024, the operator says it serves more than 400 cities across 20 countries in Europe and the Middle East, with a fleet of more than 175,000 rental electric scooters and bicycles. From November 15, users in Hungary will need another provider to travel by shared electric scooter.
