    Arrive on time at the location

    Please arrive at the agreed pick-up time. Note the location's opening hours — viewings or spontaneous appointments by arrangement.

    Take over & hit the road

    At handover, you'll do the vehicle check together, then you get the key. Luggage in — and off on holiday.

In case of an accident

Six steps, in order.

Observe the legal requirements of the country you are in — hazard lights and a high-visibility vest are compulsory in most countries.

  1. 01

    Secure the accident scene

    Switch on hazard lights and put on high-visibility vests. You'll find vests, a warning triangle and a first-aid kit in the drawer under the rear seat or in the front door pocket. Warning triangle distances: 250 m on motorways, 150 m on rural roads, 50 m in built-up areas.

  2. 02

    Move passengers out of the danger zone

    Once the accident scene is secured, bring all passengers to safety off the carriageway (on a motorway, for example, behind the crash barrier).

  3. 03

    If there are injuries: first aid + emergency call

    Carry out life-saving measures and alert emergency services and police. On motorways, arrows on the delineator posts indicate the nearest emergency call box.

  4. 04

    Fill in the accident report

    Exchange vehicle documents with the other party and fill in the European Accident Statement together (this is not an admission of fault, just a record of what happened).

  5. 05

    Secure evidence

    Photograph the accident scene and the vehicles. Note the names and addresses of witnesses.

  6. 06

    Notify myvanture

    Once everything is documented: contact myvanture — we'll take care of the further process (damage report, workshop, mobility guarantee).

In case of a breakdown

Secure first. Then call.

  1. 01

    Secure the vehicle

    Switch on hazard lights, put on your high-visibility vest, set up the warning triangle (same distances as for an accident). Move passengers out of the danger zone.

  2. 02

    Call myvanture

    In case of breakdown, flat battery, technical problems, puncture or parking damage, contact myvanture first — we'll help by phone and arrange everything else.

  3. 03

    Use the VW Mobility Guarantee

    The VW Mobility Guarantee covers roadside assistance, towing, vehicle recovery, spare parts and replacement mobility across Europe. Punctures: the VW emergency line will connect you with the breakdown service. A spare tyre or repair kit is in the vehicle.
