When you return your vehicle, our team will carry out an initial visual inspection to identify any obvious dirt or irregularities. However, as many damages are not immediately visible or require more detailed technical checks, we conduct a thorough damage inspection after you have left the station. This can take 24 to 48 hours. By taking our time and exercising great care, we are able to identify:
- Hidden or hard-to-detect damages: Certain areas, such as the underbody or mechanical parts inside, cannot be fully checked during the quick handover.
- Technical and functional checks: Some issues, such as mechanical or electrical defects, only become apparent after special tests or with diagnostic tools.
- Thorough assessment: After the initial inspection, our experts carry out additional checks to ensure the vehicle is safe and in good condition for the next customer. Damages that were not initially visible may be discovered.
All findings are carefully documented to record the condition of the vehicle at the time of return. If you have photos or videos from when you picked up the vehicle, you can submit them via the Contact Form – we will take them into account during the review.
Once the inspection is complete, you will receive the return protocol. A damage invoice will only be issued if chargeable damage is found – usually within 5–14 working days. If no invoice is raised, you will not hear from us further.
