The VBN Mobility Guarantee is a voluntary service by the VBN for its passengers. There is no legal obligation to provide for such a guarantee. The VBN reserves the right to exclude passengers from compensation in the event of misuse of the guarantee. The passenger will receive a notification if the examination of the declared warranty claim reveals that incorrect information has been provided. In the event of repeatedly incorrect and incomprehensible information, the customer will receive a notification of exclusion from the VBN mobility guarantee.
You can submit your claim in one of the following ways:
The claim for compensation must be submitted to the VBN within 7 days. The period starts on the day following the incident. Afterwards, the entitlement to compensation lapses.
Claims will be processed within 14 days of receipt by the VBN in the order in which the claims are received. The transfer of reimbursement amounts takes place no later than 4 weeks after receipt of the application.
