Who pays for the vehicle report? Cost coverage in detail

In an accident that wasn't your fault, the other party's liability insurer covers the full cost of an independent damage report — as part of your claim for damages under § 249 BGB.

If partial liability is established, the insurers involved share the costs according to the fault ratio. We explain transparently what share falls to you before you commission us.

For valuation reports, for example for a purchase, sale, inheritance or divorce, there is no insurer to cover the cost. Here we tell you the cost upfront as a clearly calculated fixed price.

You'll find a detailed breakdown of all case scenarios on our cost coverage page.
