Rental conditions

RESERVATION, PICK-UP AND RETURN

Reservation is possible by e-mail due to the restrictions. The contract is signed on the day of pick-up.

The pick up dates are based on the office hours of the Studihaus administration. However, the date agreed in the contract may deviate from this. The date agreed on in the contract is binding! Pick-up usually takes place between 12:30am and 2pm. The return has to take place between 11am – 12:30am.

A deposit of 100€ (in cash) must be paid upon pick-up. The car is handed over with a full tank of gas and must also be returned with a full tank as well. A receipt from the gas station must be presented upon return.


FAQ

Is the van available?
To find out if the moving van is availablee, you need to speak to our student house manager (see above for contact details). Often the car is reserved well in advance (especially on weekends and at the beginning of the semester), so it is better to ask sooner rather than later.

Can the car be rented by the hour?
No, the rental period is always on a daily basis.

Can I rent the car for a day on Saturday/Sunday?
No, the weekend rental period is always from Friday to Monday.

Can I make an arrangement with the person renting the van for the weekend to use the car for one day if they do not need it for that long and then I return it?
No.

Who can rent the removal van?
Students who are enrolled at the University, the University of Applied Sciences or the Theological Faculty in Trier.

Can I drive the moving van with my driving licence?
To drive the removal van, you need a Class B driving licence (formerly Class 3), which is the normal driver’s licence for cars. A lorry driver’s licence is not necessary. A copy of the driver’s licence of the customer and any other drivers must be presented when collecting the van.

What happens in case of damage and accidents?
The van has fully comprehensive insurance. If the moving van is damaged, all or part of the deposit will be retained, depending on the damage. If the damage is more extensive, an excess of 500 € will be charged. The deposit  is included in this fee.

Can I have the car with seats/are there still seats in it?
No, you cannot rent the new moving van with seats. Due to safety concerns, a 9-seater was not purchased. Upon request, the old 9-seater can be rented under certain circumstances.

I have tried to reach someone by phone, but no one is answering the phone?
The student house and moving van administration can be reached by phone during office hours (see above). If no one answers the phone, try again a short time later. Outside office hours, enquiries are best made via email.

The moving van is already fully booked, but I absolutely need a van on a certain date. What can I do?
Unfortunately, the Studierendenwerk only offers a moving van at the Birkenfeld location. You can find more information here: Studiwerk moving van
