Please read the general terms and conditions carefully beforehand

Rental conditions for trailers, in addition to the terms and conditions

1. Rental price
The rental prices valid at the time of the rental, which can be viewed on the landlord's website, are generally considered to be the rental price. In the case of special tariffs, the rental price is based on the agreements in the rental agreement.

2. Payment terms
The entire rental price is to be paid in full when the trailer is picked up without any deductions. The landlord determines the choice of payment method. Before handing over the rental property, the landlord can request an additional deposit up to the value of the rental property. If a rental trailer invoice is credited and not paid within two weeks after the vehicle has been returned, the renter will be in default if this period is exceeded. After the occurrence of default, the tenant is liable for processing fees and default interest. This does not affect further claims of the lessor from default. Several tenants are jointly and severally liable.

3. Vehicle condition
The lessee must treat the vehicle with care and observe all regulations and technical rules that are relevant to its use. The tenant has to find out about this from the landlord before using the trailer. The lessee must regularly check the trailer to ensure that it is in a roadworthy condition and that the trailer is properly locked.

4. Accidents / theft
After an accident, theft, fire, damage from game or other damage, the tenant must immediately notify the police, call in and report the damage to the landlord immediately. This also applies to minor damage and accidents caused by yourself without the involvement of third parties. At the latest when the trailer is returned, the renter has to inform the lessor of the accident in writing of all details and with a complete accident report. The accident report must include the name and address of the persons involved and any witnesses, the full address of the person who caused the accident, the license plate number and the liability insurance. As a matter of principle, the tenant may not recognize opposing claims.

5. Liability of the lessor
The lessor's liability is limited to intent and gross negligence. In addition, the lessor is only liable for the respective rental trailer within the framework of the existing motor vehicle insurance. If the trailer causes damage to the towing vehicle, the lessor of the car trailer is not liable for this damage. The tenant has the right to prove to the landlord that the damage caused by the landlord was culpable (intent or gross negligence).

6. Liability of the lessee
The renter is liable according to the general liability rules if he damages the trailer or commits other culpable breaches of contract. In particular, the tenant has to return the trailer in the defect-free condition in which he took it over. The tenant's liability also extends to the incidental damage costs such as expert costs, towing costs, depreciation, loss of rent costs. The tenant has the right to prove to the landlord that the claim for damages is actually lower. Several tenants are jointly and severally liable. The renter is liable for all traffic and regulatory offenses during the period of actual possession of the trailer.

7. Use of the trailer
The trailer may only be driven by the renter, his employees or members of his family or the drivers specified in the rental agreement. The renter must independently check whether authorized drivers are in possession of a valid driver's license. The renter has to represent the actions of the respective driver like his own. All provisions of this contract that favor the tenant also apply in favor of the respective authorized driver. If the rental vehicle is not picked up by the renter himself, but by a driver authorized under the rental agreement or by a representative of the renter, the rental company reserves the right to claim against this person for outstanding claims that the renter does not settle. Before starting the journey, the renter must check the road safety of the trailer. If the tenant discovers defects, these must be reported in a written defect report. The road safety of the trailer must be checked regularly during the rental period. The renter must not overload the rented item, nor the permissible trailer load of the towing vehicle. The load must be properly secured and excessive loading must be avoided. Furthermore, the transport of any dangerous goods (regardless of their physical state) is prohibited. The renter is still obliged to adjust his speed in poor road conditions and to exercise caution. Parts on the trailer may only be exchanged and changed after consultation and approval of the lessor. The renter is prohibited from using the vehicle for motor sport events, for test purposes and for other illegal purposes, even if they are only prohibited by the law of the crime scene, and making it available to third parties. Trips outside the Federal Republic of Germany are only permitted with the prior written consent of the lessor.

8. Return of the trailer

The grace period for the return is one hour after the contractually agreed end of the rental period. The lessee is obliged to return the trailer to the lessor at the lessor's place of business at the end of the rental period. The return can only take place during the lessor's business hours, whereby the lessor must be notified in good time by telephone or in writing of any delayed return. The renter is obliged to return the trailer, including the associated vehicle documents and accessories, to the rental company. The parties to the rental agreement are entitled to terminate the rental agreement in accordance with the statutory provisions. The lessor can demand the immediate return of the trailer as well as the complete accessories and the vehicle registration certificate after termination.

10. Compensation

If it is not possible for the landlord to provide a replacement trailer, the landlord is entitled to cancel the order. In this case, the tenant will receive any advance rent payment back. Any further claims for damages are excluded.

11. Reservation
Reservations are binding for the tariff selection, but not for the actual availability of the trailer type. All reservations are only to be regarded as binding after confirmation by the landlord.

12. Written form / withdrawal
The rental contract can only be agreed in writing. Oral side agreements are invalid. If individual clauses are ineffective, the remaining provisions of this contract remain unaffected. The tenant has the right to request the cancellation of the rental agreement before the agreed start of the rental period.
