What to do if an accident happens?
In case of an accident, fire, collision with game or other accidents, contact the Police and fill in the “Accident Record” form, which you find in your vehicle. This holds true for minor accidents and injuries as well, where the claiming party is guilty with no-one else’s infliction. The “Accident Record” form must be delivered to us in writing within 24 hours. You are not insured without the police record and you are responsible for all damages to full extent. You should also contact the rent-a-car company to receive further instructions.
-
What if I have an accident abroad?
The procedure is the same all around Europe. The presence of the Police is always vital. One of the documents you receive is the International Motor Insurance Card (“green card”), which you submit to the Police together with the Certificate of Immatriculation.
-
If I pay the All Risks Liability and Insurance then I am not responsible for anything?
The All Risks Liability and Insurance protects you fully concerning all eventual insured accidents, even of your fault. However, you are still responsible within the driver’s technical minimum (see driving school), e.g. when driving out of motor oil with consequential engine damage (ignoring light alarm)… Also, wheel rim and tire damage is not subject to insurance.

Can more drivers drive a rented car?
Yes, they can. We charge a single fee for each additional driver – see the price list

-
What to do in case I am delayed on the way and I need to extend my rental?
In such a case you need to send fax at any time of day or night: announcing requested extend (e.g. from a hotel, a post office, etc.). Only this way you can avoid being penalized for late vehicle collection.
-
What documents do I need to submit to the Police in case of road check?
Passport, driving license (European or International) and vehicle papers (the Certificate of Immatriculation, Responsibility Insurance Card + the International Motor Vehicle Insurance Card, so called “green card”).
