FAQs current situation regarding coronavirus (Covid-19)
Dear HYMER Customers,
At present, all of our lives are affected by the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic and the associated effects of measures taken by our respective federal and state governments and the health authorities. Of course, we understand that you are possibly feeling worried and have questions for us.
We would like to answer any questions you might ask yourself in regards to the current developments.
Nevertheless, the current situation can change daily. We will make every effort to continue to offer you the usual HYMER service. However, we also expect one or two restrictions in the coming period. We would ask for your understanding in this respect.

How is HYMER as a manufacturer dealing with the Corona crisis?
In this exceptional situation, our top priority is the health and well-being of our employees, trade partners and, of course, our customers, for whom we will continue to use all the means at our disposal to assist. Naturally, we have already taken comprehensive precautions in the course of the first public reports, which we have continuously adapted.
-
Why is HYMER cancelling trade fairs and major events until further notice?
The health of our employees, customers and trading partners is our top priority. The requirements that will continue to be imposed by the coronavirus pandemic in the coming months will make a relaxed atmosphere and in-depth conversations between people impossible. This will also have an impact on the high standards that HYMER has always placed on the advice and services provided by our company. That’s why HYMER will be cancelling trade fairs and major events until further notice. Of course we will continue offering our customers a reliable service and a product experience that is as emotional as it is informative in a safe environment thanks to our strong network of dealers and our wide-reaching digital services and platforms.
-
Is the planned delivery date of my vehicle guaranteed?
In Germany and in parts of Europe, our dealer network has had to temporarily stop distributing our vehicles due to legal regulations. Despite the restrictions that still exist, we are consistently striving to maintain our operations. At this time, we ask for your understanding as there will be an inevitable delay the delivery of your vehicle. If you have any questions, please contact your dealer directly. We are in close contact with our trade partners and keep them continuously informed about current developments.
-
Can I still pick up my vehicle from my dealer?
In some parts of Termany and in parts of Europe, collections are currently no longer possible due to legal regulations. Please note that we cannot give you a binding answer due to individual requirements of the federal and state governments in Germany as well as other governments within Europe. We therefore ask you to find out more directly from your dealer.
-
Can I currently register my vehicle after collection?
Your vehicle is registered via the regional registration office. Please inform yourself there if it is possible and about any changes in opening hours.
-
What happens if I have arranged a workshop appointment with a HYMER dealer?
Your Service Centre will inform you if a planned workshop visit does not take place.
-
Will I lose my warranty claim if I cannot keep to the relevant service appointments?
No, as a rule you will not lose your warranty claim. Due to the current situation, we have already extended the service intervals by six months. Please contact your dealer by telephone if you are affected by this situation.
-
What happens if I have a problem with my vehicle that cannot be postponed?
Please contact your dealer in advance by telephone to check availability and to announce workshop visits in advance. Whether the workshops of our trade partners are open depends on the legal regulations in the respective country or federal state. Please understand if it is not possible to make an appointment at the moment.
-
What happens to my already booked rental vehicle?
Please contact your rental station directly regarding your rental vehicle.
-
Are there currently still guided tours of the Bad Waldsee plant, is the Erwin Hymer Museum still open?
In this exceptional situation, our top priority is the health and well-being of our employees, trade partners and, of course, our customers. That is why we decided early on not to hold our plant tours for the time being.
In addition, the Erwin Hymer Museum in Bad Waldsee has also closed its' doors to visitors. You will find up-to-date information at www.erwin-hymer-museum.de.
