1. First STATEMENT OF FACTS page
Fill in this page. (CHECK ATTACHED EXAMPLE OF HOW TO FILL THIS PAGE) If another party is involved in the accident, they must fill in the other column. If you don’t agree with the information the other party has provided, you can mention this in the “My remarks” section. You must both sign the page at the bottom. Keep this page and bring it to our rental station. Use the back page (page 2) to write your story.
THERE ARE TWO PAGES THAT LOOK THE SAME. MAKE SURE TO FILL OUT BOTH. MAKE SURE THE PAGES ARE IDENTICAL AND THAT YOU WRITE INTO THE FIELD "STATE NUMBER OF BOXES" HOW MANY BOXES YOU FILLED OUT. IT WILL PROOF IF THE OTHER PARTY MODIFIES IT AFTERWARDS.
2. first DECLARATION page
Fill in this page as soon as possible. Sign the page at the bottom, and send it to your insurance company. This page is optional and may not be included in the downloaded PDF document.
IMPORTANT:
The form provided by our insurance looks a bit different. Not to worry, the first page looks the same all over Europe.
