For renting a motorhome, the following conditions for trade become the contents of the contract between the owners of Wohnwagen Lohmann ‘the Supplier’ and the ‘renter or hirer’ of the vehicle.
THE AGREEMENT
The subject of the contract is regarding renting a motorhome. The Supplier does not offer any travel guidance and does not offer more than vehicle hire. The legal regulations for the travel contract – in particular the 351 A-I B GB – do not apply. The hirer will use the vehicle independently and the Supplier takes no responsibility for any extra activities taken during the hire of the vehicle.
PICK UP AND DROP OFF
Pick up times: 16:00 - 17:00
Drop off times: 9:30 - 10:00
Pick up between 17:01 and 18:30 will cost 50€ .
You will be required to sign a contract at pick up of your vehicle confirming this agreement.
LATE RETURNS
With late return of the vehicle (return time is specified in the delivery record) the Supplier is able to charge late fees after 59 minutes (after the agreed drop off time) another full day rental. The resulting expenditures of the Supplier as well as claims of the next hirers for being late are going to be credited to the hirers account.
EARLY RETURNS
Returns of the vehicle before expiration of the agreed rental period do not have influence on the costs of renting, unless the vehicle can be otherwise used.
EXTENTION OF VEHICLE HIRE
And extension of the rental period is possible but only after written agreement from the Supplier is confirmed. Generally there is no agreement from the Supplier for the hirer to keep the vehicle for an indefinite period regardless of whether the hirer continues to pay unless this is agreed to first by the Supplier.
ALTERNATE VEHICLE
If the booked vehicle cannot be provided, the landlord reserves himself the right to give the client an alternative vehicle of the same category (in size and equipment). If it is a smaller one and the offer is accepted by the hirer, the rent difference between the two vehicles is refunded.
TRAVEL INSURANCE
The supplier recommends that clients ensure they take out the highest level of travel insurance. In many cases this will cover any losses incurred if you are forced to cancel your booking.
MINIMUM AGE
Minimum age of all hirers is 21 years old.
DRIVING LICENCE REQUIRMENTS
All hirers have an international drivers licence or must have held a German drivers licence for at least 1 year and must be valid for the respective class of vehicle – which is a class 3, class B – (for vehicles with a permissible total weight of up to 3,500kg) or the class C1 of more than 3,500kg total weight. A valid proof of identity must be supplied along with the drivers licence (both in original) and sighted by the Supplier. At this time a delivery record must be filled in. By signing the delivery record both parties accept the logged condition of the vehicle.
Before the vehicle is handed over a detailed vehicle briefing will take place. The Supplier is able to deny the delivery of the vehicle until the vehicle briefing is finished. If the Hirer is responsible for a delivery delay he/ she will be responsible.
The tenant commits to the return of the vehicle at the contractually agreed time, cleaned inside, with the toilet holding tank emptied and at the status of the logged condition (as per the delivery record signed at pickup). If the toilet is not emptied prior to drop off, a sum of 110€ will be charged. All damaged or missing articles are to be at the expense of the tenant.
The hirer is fully liable to the fullest extent for the vehicle and only persons mentioned on the agreement are entitled to drive the vehicle. If at the time of pickup of vehicle, the hirer mentioned on the agreement has a missing driver’s licence thereby resulting in an abnormal or defective pickup, any related costs will be debited to the tenant. If the agreed hirers drivers licence cannot be provided either at the agreed time of pickup of vehicle or within an appropriate time period, the Supplier is entitled to cancel the contractual agreement – at which time the cancellation policy mentioned in the Terms and Conditions will then apply.
