In case of Breakdowns, Accidents and other Incidents
For events such as accident, theft, loss, fire, wildlife or other damage, the renter must immediately inform the police and have a police report issued, "Europäsche Unfallprotokoll". This also applies to self-inflicted accidents without the participation of third parties. Opposition claims may not be recognized. In the event of theft, loss or misappropriation of the vehicle, Rent a Classic is always to be contacted in addition to the police. The renter must, without delay, make a detailed written report, including a sketch, for all the events mentioned, even if minor damages occur. In the event of an accident, the report must in particular contain the full name and address of the persons involved and any witnesses, as well as the registration numbers of the vehicles involved. For this, the European accident report "Europäsche Unfallprotokoll", which is located in every vehicle folder, must be used. In the event of theft, the vehicle keys, a report of the theft and the police report must be submitted to Rent a Classic within 24 hours. The renter has to grant Rent a Classic full access to all documentation involved.
All vehicles are insured with a breakdown service. In the event of a breakdown, please contact us directly during our opening hours, otherwise contact the Touring Club Switzerland TCS. The TCS documents can be found in the brown leather folder inside the vehicle.
Rent a Classic is not liable for any expenses or losses resulting from a breakdown, accident, defect or damage to the vehicle.
Condition of our vehicles
All our vehicles are regularly serviced by MADmotors in Kemptthal. For our customers we keep the vehicles in technically perfect condition.
They all have a natural patina, there are no over-restored Concours vehicles to which no dust particles may adhere. Our vehicles want to make experiences possible, not to stand around in the museum.
For the sake of completeness we would like to draw your attention to some minor details.
Some of our vehicles do not have a car radio, or only long and medium waves can be received. Maybe a car radio is installed, but not working. It doesn't matter, we think, on the contrary: Enjoy the vehicle without distraction. If you still want musical entertainment, just sing out loud.
If a clock is installed, but it doesn't work: enjoy it. You are now sitting in your dream vintage car, and time doesn't matter.
Some vehicles were once delivered with "air conditioning", which may now no longer work and has not been repaired. However, if "air conditioning" is mentioned on the vehicle page, then it does work!
