Reducing the Security Deposit / Liability

Prior to the start of the tour, you have the option to reduce your liability limit to €500 by making a one-time payment of €20.

In the event of damage, a maximum of €500 will be charged, regardless of the actual cost of the repairs.
A Mini-Hotrod is valued at over €20,000.
If the damage amounts to €500, €1,000 of your deposit will be refunded.
If the damage amounts to, for example, €3,000, a maximum of €1,500 will be charged.
In cases of intentional disregard for traffic regulations or instructions, the reduced liability limit becomes void.
In such instances, the full cost of the damage may be charged.
