This also applies to vouchers from cooperation partners.
§6 Advance payment: In case there has not been any advanced payment by a coupon purchase or a partly advanced payment, the renter has to pay the full rental amount before the start of the rental. A scheduled reservation of a car is only valid in case the renter can provide a credit note to prove an advanced payment with a minimum of € 300,- (at rentals until 500 km’s included) or 35% of the rental amount (at rentals of more than 500 km’s included). At long-term rentals the total amount can be divided into monthly rates.

§7 Security deposit: When picking up a car, a security deposit applies; which can be paid in cash or reserved on a credit card, and will be released after returning the car without any defects. The amount of the security deposit will vary based on the rented vehicle. Furthermore, the renter has to present a valid identity card & driver’s license. In case of damages to the rented car, the renter is entitled to withhold the whole security deposit amount until the damages have been repaired, the total damages amount is known, and the responsibility of the damages has been sufficiently cleared. The security deposit also serves as safeguard for the rental company in cases of non-payment of the rental rates, and can be withhold/booked until the demands are settled. The rental company has the right to return security deposits payed in cash with a bank transfer after the car has been returned without any defects. The rental company makes every effort to return the security deposit right after it has been released; although, this process can take up until 7 working days due to technical reasons.
§8 Included kilometers and extensions: When booking, the renter can choose between different rates with different included-kilometers. Additionally driven kilometers on top of the booked included-kilometers will be charged at the end of the rental period when returning the car.

Every violation has to be reported immediately to the rental company and has to be settled by the renter. The renter is liable without restrictions, according to the general liability terms, for all added accident damages according to the rental company. In remaining cases, the renter is liable without restrictions for all damages inflicted by the renter which occurred in cases of unauthorized use, by transporting cargo, or by improper handling (e.g. mis-shifting, overheating the engine, overloading the clutch, etc.) of the vehicle. In case the renter illegally left the place of an accident (§142 German Criminal Code), or failed to comply the obligations regarding these conditions, the renter will be fully liable, unless this violation had no effect on the determination of the damage claim. The renter will be imposed with a flat rate of € 45,- for expenses in case of a fine, and € 250,- in case of a summon or hearing by court. For the lost of rental income, the renter pays for every day which the damaged car is not available for the rental company a flat rate of two thirds of the agreed daily rental price. Multiple renters can share liability. Brake-, operational-, and burglary-damages are not considered accident damages, this applies in particular to damages which have been caused by moving loads. On roads which require toll, the renter is responsible for paying these toll costs. The renter exempts the rental company for all claims from authorities or third parties due to untimely or incomplete payments of toll.

§14 Damages: In case of an accident or damages (even minor damages), the renter is always obliged to completely fill out the accident protocol which can be found in the car, and to report the damages to the rental company and the local police immediately. For damaged wheels, a flat rate of € 300,- applies. In case the damages caused by a renter require to replace the complete wheel, the renter will be liable up to the amount of replacing with a new wheel.

An accident insurance for occupants has to be taken separately by the renter if required. The rental company is not liable for personal injuries of the occupants, or damages due to technical- or material-defects during the rental period. In case a repair is needed during the rental term which is not caused by the renter and is necessary to assure operating the car or taking part in traffic safely, the renter is allowed to visit a repair workshop for repairs up until € 50,- without consulting the rental company on forehand.

Excluded are traces of normal usage of the car. If the time of returning is exceeded by more than one hour, the renter will be liable for the additional charges for the additional rental time, based on the agreed on rental charges. Fueling might only be done exclusively with Super Plus (minimum 98 octane), receipts have to be kept until the end of the rental period, and have to be shown on request to the rental company at returning the car. The rental company has the right to charge € 100,- in cases of cars which have been returned in an excessively dirty state. At every delivery, the tire tread will be recorded. By signing the rental agreement the renter confirms the exact state of the car at the time of delivery. Later renegotiations are excluded. If the car is returned to another rental location, the renter is responsible for the repatriation costs in the amount of € 1,50 per km and an additional flat rate for expenditures of € 150,-, unless agreed different in writing before. In case of violations of the returning duties, several renters can be held responsible together.
§16 Fulfillment and termination of the contract: The rental company is entitled to terminate the rental agreement and claim the car in case the renter fails to comply to the rental terms, or when after completion of the contract the renter proves to be unreliable. The rental company can refuse a contract proposal without mentioning any reasons. Pre-orders of the renter, even oral- or telephone-agreements, are binding. The car has to be handed over at the agreed handing over time. However, the rental company does not need to have the car available after one hour after the agreed pick-up time. The complete rental price has to be payed before the start of the rental. In case the rental company has to cancel a reserved booking due to a technical defect at the car or an act of God, the rental company will not be liable to pay damages. The rental company is allowed to give another date to fulfill the rental contract or is also allowed to cancel the contract. The down payment will be refunded in these cases. In exceptional cases, the rental company can terminate rental agreements based on a good cause without notice. This especially applies when: significant deterioration in the financial circumstances of the renter, bounced bank transfers or checks, when the renter is subject to a forced foreclosure procedure, a lack of car for the vehicle, improper and unlawful use of the vehicle, disregard for the rules on cars for the use of freight transport, and unreasonableness of the continuation of the rental agreement for example in cases of high amounts of damage.
In case there are several contracts between the renter and the rental company and the rental company has due to circumstances the right to terminate one of the contracts without notice, the rental company is also allowed to terminate the other contracts without notice in case the other contracts are also not able to be maintained due to misconduct of the renter.
