The rental vehicle from the Emil Frey Collection must be handled carefully by the authorized driver. In particular, the rules and instructions provided in the Client briefing must be followed. All traffic laws must be strictly observed.

 

In all cases, EFC provides the Client with a detailed briefing before the start of the rental. The Client agrees to follow all instructions, especially with regards to warming up the engine, switching gears, regularly checking the oil and water levels, and observing the warning lights. The operating instructions specific to the rented vehicle must also be followed.

 

In the event of a breakdown caused by repeated incorrect handling, violation of usage restrictions (see point 6) or failure to observe the vehicle instruments, EFC reserves the right to claim compensation from the Client for the cost of the repair(s).
