For insurance reasons, a trip to Albania, Romania, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Macedonia, Turkey, Cyprus and Russia is generally not possible. Otherwise, it depends on the particular rented vehicle model or the vehicle category, in which European countries you are allowed to enter. A trip abroad requires the written permission of Buchbinder. In any case, there is an additional "Cross Boarder Fee", depending on the country between 20 and 45 EUR. An additional fee of 40 EUR is charged for ferry use. Please note that a trip abroad must always be coordinated in advance with the rental station! Specific questions about the use of our vehicles abroad will be answered by our Service Center at +49 203 860510 or by e-mail at servicecenterbuchbinder "«@&.de.

After every external or self-inflicted accident (even without the participation of third parties), theft, fire, wild collision or other damage to the rental vehicle, the renter and / or driver is obliged:
a) immediately notify Buchbinder by telephone (emergency service day and night) and thereby coordinate the further use of the damaged rental vehicle.
