Who we are
HUBO is a network of power-bank rental stations in cafés, malls and hotels in Plovdiv and Sofia: €2 per 24 hours, return at any station; for venues, a station free for 6 months.
What HUBO does
HUBO places power-bank rental stations in cafés, malls and hotels. When your phone runs low, you rent a power bank from a station and carry on with your day – no hunting for a socket, no waiting by the wall while it charges.
You rent with the HUBO app: scan the station’s QR code, pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and take a charged power bank. It costs €2 per 24 hours, with no start fee.
Each power bank holds 8,000 mAh and has three built-in cables – USB-C, Lightning and micro-USB – so you don’t need a cable of your own. Return it to any HUBO station, not necessarily the one you took it from. The receipt arrives in the app and by email.
HUBO operates in Plovdiv and Sofia. See the HUBO locations to find a station near you.
What we offer venues
If you run a café, a mall or a hotel, you can try a HUBO station free for 6 months, with no commitment. We sign a contract and a handover protocol for the station. During the trial, the rental revenue is HUBO’s and you pay nothing for the station.
You can buy the station at any time – in the first month or at the end of the trial. The timing is up to you. From then on you keep 70 % of the rental revenue after payment fees. There are no monthly fees, and the power banks are free. We agree the station’s price at a meeting.
Choose a compact or a large station, depending on the space you have. The large one has a vertical screen that shows video and still images.
The trial and purchase terms are on the For venues page, and advertising on the screens is on the Advertising page.
