How high are my reimbursement claims?
The exact amount of the reimbursement claims is determined by the distances driven by the vehicles that fulfil the preconditions for toll exemption. Since we check the documents of the vehicles as part of the audit, we have a reimbursement rate of 100% for the claims we file. You will therefore receive the full invoice amount minus our success commission.
Will the refund be automatic by Toll Collect?
Even if case law has ruled that the toll for corresponding natural gas-powered vehicles is illegal, you must take action. An automatic refund of the amounts paid will not be made. To avoid losing additional money, you should act immediately. We will support you quickly and promptly, if necessary also in court.
