If it happens that a company bike can no longer be used during the lease term, it is not necessarily required that the contract be terminated through a buyout or as a damage case under the Bikeleasing Employer Downtime Insurance. An alternative is the transfer of the contract to another user or employer. The following article explains the process.
____________________________________________________________________
When is a contract transfer possible?
- When changing to another employer who is also a Bikeleasing customer or wishes to become one.
- If a user change is to take place within the company or externally to a user of another company.

Requirements for the transfer
- The new employer already has a framework leasing contract with the Bikeleasing service or is willing to conclude one.
- The previous employer must always agree to a transfer to a new employer or a new user, as they are the lessee.
- External change: For transfers to a new employer, the remaining lease term must be at least 7 months.
- Internal change: For internal user changes, the remaining lease term does not matter.
- A transfer can only take place on the 1st day of a month.
-
A follow-up lease contract cannot be transferred.
Tip: The transfer of a contract should be clarified with both parties before the change to a new employer.

Process of the transfer
1. Submit application (Ideally, the applicant is always the current employer, as confirmation is then immediately available)
- Email to: umschreibung@bikeleasing.de with the following data:
- Contract number
- Data of the new user: Name, email address (this must be unique and not already registered in our system), address
- Data of the new employer: company code (if not available, company address with email address and contact person)
- Date of the change
2. Review by Bikeleasing
- Our specialist department checks the requirements.
- If the transfer can be made, further processing will be initiated.
3. Approval and adjustment
- Depending on the type of transfer, a document is sent to the employers, either only to the new employer or to both. This document must be signed by an authorized signatory and sent back to us.
- After the transfer is completed, the new employer receives an adjusted loan agreement.
- The new long-term lease invoice will be sent by the leasing bank to the employer.
Important: The insurance coverage remains unchanged and cannot be modified; only the cost assumption can be adjusted.
