Insurance protection

The vehicle is insured in accordance with the applicable insurance conditions as follows: Liability insurance: damage to property and financial losses: up to 50 million EUR. Personal injury per injured person: up to 8 million EUR. Comprehensive cover: 1000 EUR per damage is the deductible. A fully comprehensive insurance is granted from a rental period of 2 weeks. There is no insurance is for any transported goods. The loss of the papers of the vehicle, tools, accessories, and personal items is always at the expense of the user, insofar as there is no fault of the owner. Hanggtime works with independend location partners, which provide their own rental fleet insurance. Deviations from the above mentioned conditions of insurance may be communicated to the tenant in the offer. Hanggtime acts only as an intermediary. The location partners are liable of all insurance claims.

The user’s liability / obligations of the user

The user is liable for all damages including the total loss of the vehicle due to his fault. The user is liable without limit in particular for damages arising through the cargo or improper treatment such as poor storage or inadequate closure. As far as the damage is balanced by an insurance, in particular by insurance companies after paragraph 13 the user benefits from the insurance, but anyhow the deductible stated in paragraph 13 must be paid. A self-adhesion of the user mainly occurs due to lack the of obligation, especially if the damage is caused by alcohol or drug-related minds. The same applies for the damage caused by the failure to observe the vertical height or if the tenant uses the vehicle not as intended or passes it to not authorised persons or violates the rules of behavior after traffic accidents. Further obligations of the user: in the case of vehicle failure the user has to take care of the structural maintenance. The owner of the vehicle is to contact immediately to clear the following steps. The user has the obligation to bring the van to the return location which is determined in the offer. The ADACplus insurance is to use for that. Benefits of ADACplus insurance can be taken in consultation with the insurance claim (E.g. Hotel accommodation, replacement vehicle (car) for home, etc.). If other defects occur during the time of use (e.g. failure of the fridge, water pump, etc.) the user has a duty to cooperate: In some cases it could be possible that there will be a need to visit a mobile home / caravan trade operation or a mechanic to remedy the deficiency. But the first step is the consultation of the owner of the vehicle. If coordinated like this, the costs of the repair will be refunded completely after. IMPORTANT: In the case of occurring faults – during the holiday travel – no claims for damages arise against the owner of the vehicle. The user is obliged to inform himself (e.g. at the ADAC) of the regulations in the country he is going to travel to and to comply with them (speed limits, limit tables, sets of replacement lamps, etc.). Please note: when using ferries or trains a special insurance policy is to be completed by the user (train- or ferryinsurance). If this insurance is not completed, all costs of an accident or total loss of the vehicle from sinking are born by the user. Deficiencies which are noticed or occurred shortly before the delivery of the van, which do not impair the ability to drive or the road safety of the vehicle, must be ruled as follows: a: either the user acquires the vehicle e.g. a day later. In this case the refund is about the value of 1 day. b: he takes the van including the defects without any refund.

Liability of the owner

For any damage that is not covered by the insurance, the liability of the owner in the case of damage to property and pecuniary loss is limited to cases of intent and gross negligence unless that the contractual obligations have been violated. This limitation of liability also applies for the benefit of employees of the owner and its location partners or other vicarious agents. Claims for damages of the user against the owner as a result of vehicle breakdown or any defects on the vehicle are excluded. If the vehicle is not available at departure due to a failure of the vehicle or a mecanical fault, the owner will – if possible – provide another vehicle. If there will be no other vehicle, the user has the right to immediately terminate the contract. In this case, the user receives back the fee immediately. Claim for damages of the user are excluded toward the owner.

Storage and disclosure of personal data

The user agrees that his personal data is stored by the owner. The disclosure to third parties is allowed in special cases, if false information was made in the agreement, if the vehicle is not used or returned correctly, if the claims of the owner are not duly fulfilled or if a procedure is operated because of unlawful or disorderly behaviour against the user or its passengers.

Place of jurisdiction

Each location is responsible for all disputes. Hanggtime occurs in mediating role.
