1. As a renter and driver, you should pay attention to the following after an accident, fire, theft, or other damage:
   1.1 Notify the police and Almericar immediately. This also applies to accidents caused by yourself without the involvement of third parties or if there is damage to objects, e.g. walls, railings, fences, hedges, etc. 2. Prepare a written accident report / damage report. You will find a form for this in the vehicle documents. The accident report or damage report must contain, in particular, the names and addresses of the persons involved and witnesses, as well as the number plates of the vehicles involved and the police station responsible and the police file number. In addition, a sketch of the accident must be made. Submit the accident report and the sketch to the Almericar office. Even in case of minor damages, such as scratches, you are obliged to prepare a written accident report and a sketch and submit them to the office. Failure to create an accident report may constitute a breach of your contractual obligations.
2. In the event of an accident or breakdown, an emergency management service is available to you. Our emergency management services are included in the rental price. Details on the scope of services can be found in the General Rental Conditions.

If you have been fined during your rental, you will receive a notice of the fine from the fining body, which you will have to pay.

Almericar provides its clients with 24 hour roadside assistance. The numbers of the assistance company can be found both in the rental contract and in the folder with the documentation in the glove compartment. In the event of a breakdown or accident, you will receive rapid assistance. Remember that, in the event of an accident, you should always complete the accident report, giving full details of the circumstances in which the accident occurred. In such cases, you should always indicate the details of the opposing driver on the accident report (you will find the accident report form in the folder with the vehicle documentation). If you fail to do so, you will be liable for the cost of repairing the rented vehicle. Please read carefully the rental conditions and instructions provided upon collection of the vehicle. Damages will be charged immediately after the end of the rental period.

You can also return the rental car outside the normal opening hours. Upon request, Almericar offers an additional service outside opening hours. Simply specify a deadline when making your reservation or inform us in time if there is any sign of late delivery. Overnight drop-off box: Our overnight drop-off box is also available for you. Simply park your rental car and leave the car key in our drop box. If you return the vehicle earlier than agreed in the rental contract, you may be entitled to a refund of part of the rental charges.

The amount of the excess may vary, depending on the category of the rented vehicle. Our staff will inform you about the excess corresponding to the category of vehicle you wish to rent. If new damage is found when the vehicle is returned, the corresponding amount and the cost of the repair (including the applicable damage management and breakdown charges) will be charged. If this amount is less than the amount of the excess, the difference will be reimbursed. If the damage is due to the responsibility of a third party, and Almericar can recover the cost of this damage, the full amount charged for this concept will be reimbursed.
