For renting a vehicle

1. MEISER offers its own and third party vehicles for rent to run during events (trackdays, driving safety events, road tours and tourist trips).

2. The vehicles are checked by MEISER and are handed over to the renter with a full tank of fuel, cleaned and in a condition in which they are safe to operate and drive. At the end of the rental period, the vehicle must be returned to MEISER without delay. MEISER will check the vehicle following the return. If it is not returned with a full tank of gasoline (98 octane (super plus)), MEISER will separately charge the renter €3 per liter of fuel. This is only valid when renting a vehicle in the basic package. In case of heavy soiling, the renter has to pay the cleaning costs, which will be charged by MEISER. MEISER is not liable for objects left in the vehicles.

3. If the renter does not book the vehicle for the whole day, the return must take place as following:

a) When booking a 40 km (2 laps) package, the return has to take place 2 hours after handover by MEISER, or in case of a morning booking, at latest by 12:45 p.m. and in case of an afternoon booking, at latest by 8 p.m.

b) When booking an 80 km (4 laps) package, the return has to take place 3 hours after handover by MEISER, or in case of a morning booking, at latest by 12:45 p.m. and in case of an afternoon booking, at latest by 8:00 p.m.

c) When booking a 120 km (6 laps) package, the return has to take place 4 hours after handover by MEISER, or in case of a morning booking, at latest by 12:45 p.m. and in case of an afternoon booking, at latest by 8:00 p.m.

e) The vehicles must always be returned to MEISER by 8:00 p.m. at the latest in the case of afternoon bookings or daily rentals, unless otherwise explicitly agreed in a written agreement. For all bookings, in case of a late return of more than 15 minutes, a separate fee charged by MEISER in the amount of 15% of the booked services applies.

4. The vehicles are intended for operation on Nürburgring-Nordschleife, Nürburgring Grand Prix Circuit, Driving Safety Center, Spa-Francorchamps as well as on other race tracks and the public sections. The vehicles should be used appropriately and with foresight. When booking the basic package, costs for fuel and track fees have to be paid by the renter. The renter will observe all legal regulations in connection with the rental and especially the regulations of the StVO (road traffic act). Fines, penalties or similar in connection with the use of the vehicle shall be paid by the renter.

5. The transfer of the rented vehicle to third parties is not permitted. The renter and therefore authorized driver is/are only the person(s) designated in the contract. MEISER reserves the right to offer the renter an alternative vehicle at its own reasonable discretion (e.g. in the event of appropriate weather conditions, driver capabilities, vehicle availability, etc.); the renter shall be informed immediately of any change of vehicle. A possible positive difference between the booked vehicle price and the actual price of the vehicle shall be refunded to the renter or, at the renter's option, converted into a gift card with a validity of 12 months. A change of vehicle by MEISER entitles the renter to the cancellation of the contract. Any costs of the renter occurred up to this point of time will not be refunded by MEISER.

6. The renter must check the vehicle display during the drive, in particular tire pressure, engine temperature, oil temperature and water temperature. As soon as the renter notices a defect during the use of the vehicle, this must be reported to MEISER immediately. Any suspicion of a malfunction must also be reported to MEISER immediately. Continuing to drive with the vehicle may cause significant damage. Any overrevving of the engine (in the case of BMW e36 325i and BMW e90 325i from 6,900 rpm, Suzuki Swift 7,200 rpm, Hyundai i30n 7,200 rpm) due to improper gear shifting or similar requires checking the technical condition of the engine. The renter agrees to pay for any costs arising as a result. For checking purposes, the data acquisition system will be read checked after the vehicle has been returned to MEISER.

7. The vehicle must be used properly. MEISER reserves the right in cases of improper use (such as drifting, burn-outs, etc.) to issue a warning the renter or to prohibit further use. In such cases, there will be no refund for the booked use of the vehicle. For damages as well as above-average wear of the vehicle, here in particular tires and brakes, the renter has to pay for compensation.
If the vehicle has a launch control, the renter and driver are not allowed to use it.

8. In the case of kilometer package agreements, a refund will not take place for not used kilometers within the intended time period. The only exception is the case due to early closure of the race track / event due to third party fault or force majeure that here was no time to use the booked service. In this case, the kilometers not driven will be credited in the form of a gift card.

9. The renter is responsible for damages to the rented vehicle, to the track (e.g. guard rails / barriers), to other vehicles or persons involved and for possible towing and rescue costs, even if an instructor/coach is present on the passenger seat. This includes extreme situations in which the instructor/coach must actively intervene in driving maneuvers and for cases in which the instructor/coach is driving the rented vehicle.

Cost coverage for the use of a rental car

1. The renter agrees to be liable for all internal/external damages, theft or mechanical defects (e.g. coupling) up to the maximum amounts listed below, which occurred during the rental period of the vehicle. This applies regardless of which car has been reserved. Likewise for all repair costs or cost estimates / appraisals of third parties. The renter accepts the obligation to accept liability for MEISER vehicles to the following extent:

Suzuki Swift Sport: 6.500€
BMW e36 325i: 18.500€
BMW e90 325i: 15.500€
BMW g20 330i: 65.000€
Hyundai I30N Perfomance: 22.500€
VW Golf GTI Performance: 22.500€

Regardless of the above, the renter's obligation to

compensate for damage exists at most only to the extent of the amount of the actual damage or to the extent of the usually occurring reduction in value. The renter is explicitly entitled to prove the non-occurrence of damage due to negligent action or improper use. The renter also has the right to prove that a significantly smaller reduction in value has occurred. In case of willfully caused damage, a duty to indemnify of 100% of the damage shall apply, irrespective of the above. The renter/driver does not acquire ownership of the vehicle or individual vehicle parts through a paid damage compensation.

2. In case of damaging a third party, the renter agrees to accept 100% of the liability of third party claims on public roads and race tracks (including tourist drives). In case of willful damage, the renter is also liable for 100% of the damage, regardless of the above.

For participation in co-pilot rides in the race cab as part of racing teams

1. MEISER offers rides in vehicles (so-called race cabs) at events. The same shall also be arranged for external racing teams.

2. The events do not serve the purpose of achieving top speeds in particular.

3. MEISER provides vehicles that are suitable for use on race tracks and are in flawless technical condition. Only qualified and experienced drivers will perform the booked drives.

4. The participant knows the general conditions of participation as well as the conditions of the organizer and the operator of the race track and agrees to follow all rules of conduct.

5. The co-pilot driving procedure is entirely up to the judgement of the driver of the car. The participant cannot demand a certain driving style. The participant is strictly forbidden to interfere with the mechanical processes

during the driving event. The participant must strictly follow all instructions of the organizer as well as the respective driver.

6. Any liability of the organizer or his assistants and agents for personal injury or property damage caused to the participant by participation in the event is excluded, except for intent and gross negligence.

7. The participant assures that he does not suffer from heart or spinal conditions. Other conditions or illnesses that may affect participation are also not present.

8. The organizer reserves the right to have the service he is responsible for carried out by a third party. In this case, the organizer undertakes to carefully select the third party so that the participant receives a service of the same type and quality. In such cases, the organizer is not liable for the service to be provided, but for the careful selection of the third party.
