What should I do if the rental car breaks down?
If your rental car breaks down, you should follow these steps:
Immediate actions:
- Park the vehicle safely and secure it with a warning triangle
- Contact the emergency number of the rental car provider (you can find this in the rental contract, in the vehicle documents and in your rental car documents)
- In case of accidents with personal injury or major property damage: Call local police
Important contacts:
- The 24-hour emergency number of the rental car provider
- Tourlane emergency number (available in the app and in your travel visualization from 14 days before departure)
Documentation:
- Take photos of the situation and any damage
- Note the time, location, and circumstances of the breakdown
- Keep all receipts (e.g., for towing costs)
