Why does it make sense to take out tyre and rim insurance?
You drive into a nail, have overlooked a pothole or someone wilfully damages your tyres? It is even more annoying if you hit the kerb and damage the expensive rims. It all happens faster than you think! And what many people don't know: Most comprehensive insurance policies do not cover tyre or rim damage. Repair, replacement or assembly will be at your expense. To be on the safe side for these cases, we recommend taking out tyre and rim insurance.
The premium is paid once in advance for all tariffs and is valid for the selected term of 12 or 24 months.
When does my insurance cover begin and end?
Insurance starts upon handover of the goods in a reifen.com branch or upon receipt of the policy after online purchase. Insurance ends with the occurrence of the damage or the end of the contract.
When can I claim on my insurance?
Immediately on the agreed insurance start date and after payment of the premium.
What is not covered by tyre and rim insurance?
Tyre insurance: There is no insurance cover for tyres purchased second-hand and already damaged tyres. For further information, please refer to the General Conditions of Insurance (GCI) Tyre Insurance - Basic oder - Premium.
Rim insurance: There is no insurance cover for rims purchased second-hand, rims that have already been damaged or rims purchased individually. For further information, please refer to the General Conditions of Insurance (GCI) Rim Insurance - Basic oder - Premium.
Is my insurance cover also valid abroad?
The insurance cover applies throughout Europe.
Do I have to cancel my contract?
The contract ends automatically at the end of the contract period or after the occurrence of a claim and does not need to be cancelled by you.
What should be done in the event of a claim?
If the damage was caused by a criminal act of a third party or in case of theft, report it to the police immediately.

Please also take photos of the tyre/rim damage
