GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Applies from 11.10.2023.

• From January 2024, the familiar adhesive motorway vignette is being replaced by an electronic version. (Article 10 b)
• From the beginning of October, damage handling is becoming easier. You can use the new Mobility app to view and document damage to the vehicle. As a Mobility customer, you’re obliged to check for any damage and report any new damage every time you drive off. By doing so, you help to keep our fleet in impeccable condition and protect yourself against liability for damage caused by someone else. However, in the event of an accident or service disruption, you must call us.
  Failure to report damage/an accident or to respond appropriately to a liability or damage event incurs fees. (Articles 12 b, 17 b, c, d and 18 l)
• Damage is repaired at the discretion of Mobility and its insurer. Mobility reserves the right not to repair damage. Damage leads to a reduction in the value of the vehicle, which is why the customer is charged an amount equivalent to the cost of the repair, but not exceeding the policy deductible. (Article 17 l)
