In the event that the rented vehicle is not available at short notice, CamperBoys GmbH is entitled to provide an equivalent vehicle to fulfill its obligation, provided the lessee has no justified interest in an extraordinary contract termination. Depending on the vehicle, individual additional equipment may be available and can be optionally booked for an additional fee. Additional equipment must be agreed upon in writing. The agreement of additional equipment must be confirmed by CamperBoys GmbH in written or email form. Further information can be found on the vehicle details page on the CamperBoys website.

The liability insurance coverage is €100 million. The lessee's deductible for the comprehensive insurance is €1500 per damage. Comprehensive damages require a lessee's deductible of €500 per damage. Drivers under 23 years old have a lessee's deductible of €2500 per damage in comprehensive or partial damage cases.

The lessee has the option to reduce the deductible amounts through various performance packages offered by the lessor on the CamperBoys website in the Conditions section. The liability reduction/deductible applies exclusively to comprehensive damages and only if there is no breach of obligation or gross negligence, as in such cases, the lessee is also liable for the full amount of the damage. Damages to the awning, the interior of the vehicle, or the pop-up roof are not considered comprehensive damages and must be fully covered by the lessee.

4. Rental period

4.1 The rental period extends from the agreed-upon handover to the final return, as documented during online booking. In case of a delayed return by more than one hour, in addition to another regular daily rental fee, a penalty of 50 euros is incurred. Each subsequent hour also costs 50 euros per commenced hour. If a subsequent renter incurs damages as a result, the lessee, who returned the vehicle late, is responsible for covering the compensation costs for the subsequent rental.
4.2 In case of delayed return exceeding one hour we charge 50€ compensation. Every additional hour will be charged with 50€ per started hour. If your delay causes damage to the next lessee, you will additionally have to pay the sum of indemnity of the following rent.
4.3 The ordinary termination of the rental contract, in particular before the start of the contract, is excluded. The right to extraordinary termination, the right to contest the contract or to withdraw from the contract in accordance with the statutory provisions shall remain unaffected by this. An extraordinary right of termination shall be based in particular, but not exclusively, on the breach of the duties of the lessee specified in Section 14.

5. Authorized vehicle driver

5.1 When handing over the vehicle, the hirer must present a valid driving license, a valid means of payment as well as a valid identity card or passport, at least in Germany (for journeys abroad for the respective countries), required for driving the vehicle. If the lessee cannot present these documents when handing over the vehicle, CamperBoys GmbH reserves the right to withdraw from the rental contract; claims of the lesee due to non-fulfillment are excluded in these cases. Any costs incurred by the lessor up to that point, or any loss of profit or any other damage resulting from the rescission, shall be reimbursed by the lessee.
5.2 The vehicle may only be driven by the hirer or by the driver specified within the pickup protocol. The lessee is liable for the fault of the additional driver named by him.
5.3 The lessee and/or driver must be at least 18 years old and have a minimum of 1 year continuous driving experience with a comparable motor vehicle, but at least with a passenger car. Proof of this can only be provided through a driver's license or another official document.
5.4 If several lessees have become contractual partners, they shall be jointly and severally liable.
5.5 Unauthorised drivers are persons who do not meet the requirements of this section; they are not authorised to drive the vehicle. A violation of this regulation entitles the lessor to immediate withdrawal or immediate termination of the contract.
The lessee is liable for any damages incurred as a joint and several debtor.
5.6 The unauthorized driver is not covered by insurance or additional services offered by CamperBoys GmbH. Coverage is then provided exclusively within the scope of statutory liability insurance (indispensable insurance cover).

6. Treaty area

6.1 The contractual territory in which the vehicle may be operated includes the national territories of the following nations: Albania, Andorra, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Germany, Denmark, Estonia, France, Finland, Greece, Great Britain, Italy, Ireland, Iceland, Croatia, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Latvia, Malta, Moldova, Monaco, Montenegro, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Austria, Portugal, Poland, Romania, San Marino, Sweden, Slovak Republic, Spain, Switzerland, Serbia, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Vatican, and Cyprus. 
6.2 On request, the contract territory can also be extended by individual contracts. The agreement must be made in writing.
6.3 The lessee is responsible for familiarizing himself with the country-specific laws, in particular traffic and regulatory regulations and toll obligations. This applies in particular to the proper equipment and technical specifications of the vehicle. The lessee is liable to CamperBoys GmbH for violations of these obligations. The CamperBoys GmbH has in the case of the claim as a vehicle owner e.g. by fine and warning fines an exemption claim against the lessee for such breaches of contract.

7. Transfer

7.1 The vehicle, the registration certificate Part I/vehicle registration certificate and a key shall be handed over to the lessee at the agreed place of delivery ready to drive. The vehicle is fully refueled, tested with all operating fluids and cleaned inside.
7.2 The lessee is obliged to inspect the vehicle before handing it over. On the occasion of handing over the vehicle, a handover protocol to be signed by CamperBoys GmbH and the lessee will be drawn up in which all obvious defects and complaints, as well as the speedometer status, are to be recorded. Defects asserted later by the lessee can no longer be considered.
7.3 In some cases it may happen that bicycle racks are mounted on the rented vehicle – although they have not been expressly booked by the lessee – in order to maintain the smooth progress of the rental business. The lessor is not obliged to dismantle the bicycle carrier.

8. Return

8.1 The rental agreement ends upon expiry of the rental period agreed upon in the rental agreement. If the lessee continues to use the vehicle after expiry of the agreed rental period, the rental relationship shall not be deemed to have been extended. § 545 BGB does not apply, not even analogously.
8.2 If the return time is exceeded by more than one hour, the lessee, without prejudice to further liability, is obligated to pay compensation for the exceeding period. This is calculated as outlined in 4.1. The lessee has the opportunity to prove that no or lesser damage has been incurred by CamperBoys GmbH.
8.3 The lessee is obliged to return the vehicle to CamperBoys GmbH at the end of the rental period with a full tank of fuel, cleaned inside and in an operational condition at the place of delivery at the agreed return time. Registration certificate part I/vehicle license and key must be returned to CamperBoys GmbH.
8.4 If the lessee violates his obligation to clean in whole or in part, a cleaning lump sum of at least 100 euros shall be due. If the lessee does not return the vehicle with a completely filled fuel tank, CamperBoys GmbH will take over the refueling. For this additional service, CamperBoys GmbH demands an expense allowance of 19 Euro in addition to the fuel costs incurred.
8.5 Upon return, the hired object shall be inspected in the presence of the hirer, whereby the result of the inspection shall be recorded in a return protocol to be signed by both parties. If damage is found which is not listed in this contract or in the handover protocol, it is assumed that the hirer is responsible for the damage, unless the hirer proves that the damage already existed when the vehicle was handed over. In the event of damage, the lessor shall invoice the damage within 14 days of the return of the vehicle. If hidden damages, e.g. due to external contamination, are not recognizable during the inspection of the vehicle, the unobjected return of the vehicle does not lead to a negative acknowledgement of debt by the lessor.
8.6 If the lessee does not return the vehicle or the vehicle key – even through no fault of his own – to CamperBoys GmbH at the end of the agreed rental period, CamperBoys GmbH is entitled, for the duration of the withholding, to demand a fee as compensation for use at least in the amount of the previously agreed rental fee; the right to assert further damages is reserved.
8.7 Furthermore, CamperBoys GmbH reserves the right to file a criminal complaint with the responsible authorities for all conceivable legal reasons in the event of non-notification of a delayed return.
8.8 If the vehicle is returned at an earlier time, there is no entitlement to reimbursement of part of the rental costs.

9. Damage to the vehicle

9.1 If, during the term of the rental agreement, damage has occurred to the vehicle which did not exist when the vehicle was handed over or which was not recorded in writing in the handover protocol, the lessee shall bear the costs of repair.
9.2 If damage is detected when the vehicle is returned in the presence of the lessee and the lessee confirms that the damage was caused by signing the return protocol, one of the following regulations will apply depending on the extent of the damage:
Damages, especially substantial damages or those that affect the return of the rental vehicle and subsequent re-rental and/or necessitate temporary downtime for repair, will be settled based on cost estimates from a German contractual workshop or by our own specialized personnel using standard damage calculation software (SilverDAT) and based on the cost structure of a workshop at the lessor's location. Further liability for lost profits, loss of use, towing costs, expert fees, etc., remains unaffected by this.
9.3 In case the ban on smoking is ignored 500,00€ of the deposit are withheld to compensate for the loss of value and to carry out a professional removal of smoker residues.
9.4 Tyre damage: Tyre damage occurring during the rental period is the responsibility of the lessee unless it can be proved that it was caused before the vehicle was taken over or a corresponding liability reduction package was booked by Off. Any costs incurred for the towing service or the fitting of the tyres do not have to be borne by the Hirer if the Volkswagen mobility guarantee or the puncture protection specified in the rental documents has been notified. Material costs, such as tyres, must be paid by the lessee. The spare wheel may not be mounted on the vehicle by the lessee, but only by a towing or breakdown service.
9.5 Stone chips in windows: Stone chips in windows will be repaired or replaced depending on size and location. The proportionate costs of the partial coverage claim (deductible 500.00 € or depending on the liability reduction package) shall be borne by the lessee.

It must be completely replaced. This applies to tanks, boilers, pumps, taps and pipes. The costs are to be borne by the lessee in full. The hirer is also liable for any resulting damage to the vehicle and accessories.
9.7 Damage to the awning – In order to avoid damage to the awning, the following must be observed: The awning must never be extended in strong wind or rain and must never be left unattended when extended. The use of a car wash is generally forbidden. The cost of a new awning with installation must be borne by the lessee if this is not the case. These can exceed the deposit amount.
9.8 In order to contribute to damage reduction, the lessee is obliged to first clarify, in cooperation with the lessor, whether services such as hotel accommodation, replacement vehicle (car), vehicle pick-up, rail return etc. are to be obtained via the concluded cover letter insurance. Insofar as such services are sufficient, they serve to relieve the lessor.
Off only warrants the services of the letter of protection, all other costs are borne by the lessee.

  • In the case of simple negligence, liability shall be limited to damages which are based on a slightly negligent breach of essential duties which endangers the achievement of the purpose of the contract, or on a slightly negligent breach of duties the fulfilment of which is essential for the proper performance of this contract and on the observance of which the customer may regularly rely. In this case, however, liability shall be limited to the typical damage foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the contract. Any further liability of CamperBoys GmbH in cases of slight negligence is excluded.
  • In all other respects, the liability of CamperBoys GmbH is excluded regardless of its legal basis, unless CamperBoys GmbH is liable by law, in particular because of injury to life, body or health of a person, assumption of a guarantee, fraudulent concealment of a defect or under the Product Liability Act. Any further liability of CamperBoys GmbH, in particular with regard to a possible loss of work or production, is excluded.
17.2 CamperBoys GmbH has the right to raise an objection of contributory negligence.

18. Behaviour in the event of traffic accidents and offences

18.1 If, while using the vehicle, the hirer is at fault or not at fault involved in a traffic accident, game damage, fire or similar, he must immediately ensure that the course of the accident or damage is recorded by the police. This shall also apply if the rented vehicle was slightly damaged and also in the case of accidents for which the lessee is responsible without the cooperation of third parties. The lessee must refrain from making an acknowledgment of debt.
18.2 In addition, the lessee must provide CamperBoys GmbH with a standardized European accident report including an accident sketch, if applicable. The lessee must also record the names and addresses of all parties involved and witnesses in writing. If the accident has been recorded by the police, the lessee must also provide the address of the responsible police authority, the name of the responsible investigating officer and the associated file number.
18.3 The statutory liability regulations shall apply. The lessee is not liable if CamperBoys GmbH obtains compensation for the damages incurred by the other party to the accident, other third parties involved in the accident or from the existing comprehensive insurance or otherwise.
18.4 The lessee shall be liable for all damage to the vehicle caused by operating errors, overloading or breach of other obligations under section 14 of this contract during the rental period. The lessee is equally liable for damages caused by his relatives, workers, employees, co-drivers or other third parties who have come into contact with the vehicle through the lessee's fault, insofar as he culpably omits to make the necessary statements about the person and the object for the enforcement of any claims for compensation by CamperBoys GmbH. The lessee is also liable if the damage is only discovered after the vehicle has been returned. The CamperBoys GmbH must prove in this case that in the meantime the vehicle was not operated by him or a third party.
18.5 The lessee or driver must take all measures that are useful and conducive to the clarification of the damage event. This includes in particular that they must answer the lessor’s questions regarding the circumstances of the damage event truthfully and completely and must not leave the scene of the accident before it has been possible to make the necessary and, in particular, significant findings for the lessor for the assessment of the damage event or without enabling the lessor to make them.
18.6 A handling fee of 49€ will be charged for the handling of any damage of any kind incurred during the rental period which has to be handled by CamperBoys GmbH.

19. Final provisions

19.1 The lessee may only offset claims that are undisputed by CamperBoys GmbH or have been legally established. The lessee shall only be entitled to a right of retention or the defense of non-performance of the contract with regard to undisputed or legally established counterclaims arising from this contractual relationship.
19.2 This contract shall be governed exclusively by German law.
19.3 The registered office of CamperBoys GmbH is agreed as the place of jurisdiction if the lessee does not have a general place of jurisdiction abroad or if he moves his residence or habitual abode abroad after conclusion of the contract or if his place of residence or habitual abode is not known at the time of filing an action, furthermore if the lessee is a legal entity of the special fund under public law or a registered trader.
19.4 All agreements shall be recorded in writing. This also applies to ancillary agreements and assurances as well as subsequent changes to the contract. In particular, the cancellation of the written form requirement shall require the written form. For the acceptance of the contract by CamperBoys GmbH, however, the transcription of the contract text without a handwritten signature is sufficient.
19.5 Should individual provisions of this contract be or become invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. Instead of the invalid provision, that which the parties would have agreed in good faith in accordance with the original intended purpose from an economic point of view shall apply. The same shall apply in the event of a contractual gap.
19.6 The lessee agrees that his personal data collected by CamperBoys GmbH may be processed and stored by CamperBoys GmbH for processing, consulting and information purposes. CamperBoys GmbH undertakes not to pass on the data to third parties, excluding the respective credit institution of the lessee in order to transfer back the paid deposit, as well as an external order processing service provider. CamperBoys GmbH forwards personal customer data to partner dealers who provide us with vehicles for rental for the sole purpose of identifying drivers and reporting in the event of an offense. These dealers are authorized to forward personal data to the relevant authorities.
19.7 The General Terms and Conditions handed over to the lessee form an integral part of this rental agreement.
19.8 The place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract is Fürstenfeldbruck.
