Direct invoicing at technical inspection
Arval has concluded an agreement with the technical inspection agency concerning the direct invoicing of the car inspection to Arval. This means that drivers no longer have to advance the costs of the inspection themselves.
As of now, the drivers can present their car to the technical inspection agency with a form 'direct invoicing'. This form is sent to the driver, together with the invitation. Please find an example of this form alongside. The driver can fill-out this form and surrender it to a technical inspection station of his choice, which subsequently will invoice the costs directly to Arval.
Arval has concluded an agreement with all technical inspection stations. Please find alongside a list of the addresses of these stations.
Technical inspection for cars with a towing hook
The towing hook must be inspected before the first use.
If you ordered a vehicle with a towing hook, the dealer will be in charge of the technical inspection of the vehicle before delivering it to you.
If you put a towing hook later, the installer or yourself will have to let the vehicle being inspected.
For the following technical inspections, a distinction is made between two types of towing hooks:
- The towing hook for towing a light trailer (max. 750 kg) or supporting a bicycle rack or motorcycle rack.
After the inspection done before the first use, the vehicle is exempt from inspection until it reaches 4 years old. - The towing hook for towing a maximum authorized mass of over 750 kg.
After the inspection done before the first use, the vehicle must pass technical inspection every year.
