1. Subject of the contract

1.1 The rental agreement obliges the lessor to provide the lessee with a vehicle for the duration specified in the rental agreement, in accordance with the terms of use. The lessee is obliged to pay a rental fee as well as all other costs incurred during/through the use of the vehicle.

1.2 When handing over and returning the vehicle, the lessor and the lessee together create a handover report of the vehicle, which is part of the contract.

2. Booking and payment methods

2.1 Reservations can be made online, by telephone or by e-mail. In the case of a telephone or e-mail booking, the lessee first receives a written offer by e-mail, which must be confirmed within 48 hours. If this is not the case, the offer is cancelled. By confirming the reservation by concluding a contract (= confirmation), the lessee agrees to the General Terms and Conditions of the rental.

2.2 The reservation is binding only after receipt of the written confirmation by the lessor.

2.3 A deposit in the amount of €200 is due upon conclusion of the contract, but no later than seven (7) days after return of the written confirmation by the lessee to the lessor. The balance must be paid no later than 60 days before the start of the rental. The lessor reserves the right to withdraw from the contract and to charge cancellation fees in accordance with point 8 in the event of non-compliance with the aforementioned deadlines after sending a payment notification and after expiry of a reasonable period of time.

2.4 If the reservation is made less than 60 days before the start of the rental, the entire rental amount must be paid immediately.

2.5 All agreements, ancillary agreements and special requests requested by the lessee in the order must be agreed in writing, otherwise they shall have no binding effect. In the event of contradictions between the order and the booking confirmation, the content of the booking confirmation shall prevail.

3. Price

3.1 The rental price corresponds to the amount specified in the rental agreement, which depends on the category of the vehicle, the selected rental period and the additional packages and options. The rental price covers the insurance specified in point 11 as well as the maintenance costs resulting from normal/fiduciary use of the vehicle.

3.2 All additional costs/expenses in connection with the rental of the vehicle which are not included in the total rental price, in particular fuel costs as well as toll, parking and camping fees, shall be paid by the lessee. Any costs incurred as a result of fines, penalties or legal proceedings must also be paid by the lessee.

4. Changes to the reservation after confirmation

4.1 After preservation of the confirmation, changes requested by the lessee are only possible with the express consent of the lessor. If the rental period is changed, the reservation is regarded as a cancellation and new reservation. In this respect, the cancellation conditions explained under point 8.1. apply.

4.2 If the lessor is obliged to make changes due to circumstances of any kind, the lessor must inform the lessee. These circumstances must seem acceptable for the lessee.

5. Services guaranteed by the lessor

5.1 The lessor shall only provide the services expressly stated in the confirmation. This service includes the provision of the booked or higher vehicle category. The model of the vehicle is not binding. This can be replaced by a similar model in the same booking category.

5.2 Any other services other than those included in the offer, or the confirmation, are not guaranteed by the lessor.

6. Handover/return of the vehicle

6.1 The handover and return of the vehicle occurs at the lessor’s premises at the time specified in the rental agreement.

6.2 At the time of handover of the vehicle, the lessee is required to present his identity card and driving license, which must be valid for the vehicle as well as for the duration of the rental. If this is not the case, the lessor is entitled to refuse to provide the vehicle. These documents must be presented in their original form. Copies are not permitted.

6.3 The vehicle can be collected from 9 am (Early Pick up) on the first rental day and only by appointment. The vehicle is washed, cleaned and filled with fuel.

The lessee ensures on return that the vehicle is in a clean condition and that the tank of the vehicle is full.

If the toilet is not cleaned, the lessee will be charged a fee of €75.

6.9 An extension of the rental period is only possible with the express written consent of the lessor. The right to use the rental vehicle only extends to the period of use agreed in the rental agreement. Further use after the end of the rental period does not lead to an extension of the rental agreement.

7. Obligations of the lessee

7.1 The vehicle may - except in urgent cases - only be driven by the lessee himself or by the driver(s) specified in the rental agreement. In case of additional drivers, the lessee is obliged the day of handover to inform the lessor of their exact names and addresses and present their original identity card and driving licences. The lessee must ensure that the other drivers can operate the vehicle and that no driving bans are imposed on them.

7.8 The removal/overstickering of the advertising stickers affixed to the rental vehicle is not permitted except with the written consent of the lessor (e.g. in the case of co-branding).

8. Cancellation by the lessee - no-show of the lessee

8.1 The lessor has the right to charge a one-time processing fee of €30 per booking to the lessee in the event of even a partial cancellation by the lessee.

If the rebooking results in higher total costs, the difference must be paid by the lessee. In case of lower total costs, the lessor issues the lessee with a voucher for the difference.

9. Cancellation by the lessor

9.1 The lessor has the right to terminate the rental agreement immediately if the lessee or one of his companions after the handover of the vehicle, even after a reminder, significantly disrupts the agreed contractual conditions, shows a manner of conduct, which makes a continuation of the rental agreement unacceptable for the lessor and/or the other parties involved, or if the lessee/companion does not adhere to objectively justified rules. In this case, the lessor has the right to terminate the rental agreement and to demand the immediate return of the rental vehicle to his premises, while respecting his right to payment of the total price specified in the rental agreement, without prejudice to the right to compensation.

9.2 The lessor reserves the right to terminate the contract before the handover of the vehicle. If the cancellation is not due to a fault of the lessee, all payments already made in direct connection with the order will be refunded to the lessee after cancellation of the contract.

10. Cancellation due to a force majeure event

10.1 If one of the contract’s essential services cannot be executed by the lessor before start of the rental following an event of external nature, the lessee, who has been duly informed of this, has the right to withdraw from the contract within seven (7) days. Alternatively, the lessee may opt for a substitute service of equal or higher value offered by the lessor at no extra charge.

The lessee is also obliged to contact the lessor in this respect, to get information about the next steps.

11.5 In the event of an accident or breakdown not caused by the lessee, where further travel is not possible, the lessor reserves the right either to have the vehicle repaired within a reasonable period or replaced with an equivalent or higher-value vehicle. If it is not possible to repair or replace the vehicle within a reasonable period, the lessee is entitled to a refund for the remaining rental days. Additionally, the lessor will cover the costs for the return transportation of the lessee and his companions in this case. The coverage of return transportation costs expressly applies only to persons. Any additional costs incurred during the return transportation due to medical or personal reasons or because of pets, must be borne by the lessee. If the lessee declines the return transportation option offered by the lessor, the lessee must arrange the return transportation himself and bear the full costs incurred for the return. 
In the event of an accident or breakdown caused fully or partially by the lessee, where further travel is not possible, the lessor reserves the right to have the vehicle repaired within a reasonable period or replaced with an equivalent or higher-value vehicle.
