Are all models available at each station?

Our vehicles like cars, transporters and trucks are divided into different categories. If you choose a rental car from Buchbinder, then first book a vehicle category. This is to simplify the selection on the one hand. On the other hand, several similar products can be offered on the same terms in this way. Please understand that an assurance of a certain make and feature is therefore usually not given. Due to the very different capacity utilization in the car rental industry, we can not guarantee that all vehicle models are always available everywhere. Nevertheless, at Buchbinder we give our best to meet your wishes, so you get your preferred rental car. In principle, it should be noted that vans and trucks are not available at the airport stations.
