Official figures

Traffic and accidents in München

The accident atlas published by Germany's federal and state statistical offices records every road traffic accident involving personal injury, down to the exact location. For München, the following clusters emerge over 2021–2025:

  • Bad-Schachener-Straße (Ramersdorf)

    2021–2025 wurden hier 44 Unfälle mit Personenschaden erfasst, 5 davon mit Schwerverletzten.

  • Elsenheimerstraße (Friedenheim)

    2021–2025 wurden hier 44 Unfälle mit Personenschaden erfasst, 2 davon mit Schwerverletzten.

  • Fürstenrieder Straße (Am Waldfriedhof)

    2021–2025 wurden hier 42 Unfälle mit Personenschaden erfasst, 3 davon mit Schwerverletzten.

Each location covers an area of roughly 100 metres. The figures do not identify causes — a busy main road records more accidents than a side street.

How much traffic passes through

Germany's Federal Highway Research Institute continuously measures traffic on motorways and federal roads. These counting stations are closest to München (annual figures for 2024):

  • A8 · Counting station München-Perlach (S), 4.6 km away

    48,054 Fahrzeuge pro Tag, darunter 1,059 Lkw und Busse (2 %).

  • A995 · Counting station München-Giesing (S), 5 km away

    55,472 Fahrzeuge pro Tag, darunter 2,519 Lkw und Busse (5 %).

Frequently asked questions — car appraiser in München

Answers in under 60 seconds

What does a car appraiser cost in München?

In a no-fault accident in München with damage over 750 €, you pay 0 €. The opposing third-party insurer covers all costs under §249 BGB. Fees based on the BVSK-Honorartabelle in München range between 700–2.600 €.

Where do I find an independent car appraiser in München?

Claimondo refers you in München to certified partner appraisers with local expertise. You report the damage online (5 min, no registration) — we match you with the nearest available appraiser from the partner network. On-site appointment in under 48 hours. Available in München (postcode 80–81) and the surrounding region of Bayern.

Which court is responsible for disputes in München?

For claim settlement disputes in München, the Amtsgericht München has first-instance jurisdiction up to a claim value of 5,000 €; above that, the Landgericht München I (§ 23 no. 1 and § 71 (1) GVG). Most reduction disputes — cut appraisal fees, UPE surcharges, diminished value, loss of use — fall below this threshold and are therefore heard before the local court. If an insurer makes unlawful reductions or takes legal action against an assessment, our partner law firm for traffic law files at whichever court has jurisdiction. If successful, the opposing party bears legal and court costs. You pay 0 € (under §249 BGB, subject to acknowledgement by the opposing third-party insurer).

Can I choose the assessor myself?

Yes. As the non-at-fault party you appoint the assessor — not the other side's insurer. You are not obliged to accept their offer to send their own inspector: an assessor instructed by the opposing insurer does not act in your interest.

Is a repair shop's cost estimate enough?

Below roughly €750 in damage, yes — that is the minor-damage threshold. Above it, no: a cost estimate quantifies the repair alone. Diminished value, loss of use, replacement and residual value are missing from it, and those items account for a substantial share of the compensation.

What happens if the insurer reduces the assessment?

Insurers such as HUK, LVM, and AXA typically reduce UPE surcharges, delivery costs, and diminished value through audit services (ControlExpert, K-Expert, DEKRA). However, the BGH supports injured parties in the landmark rulings VI ZR 65/18, VI ZR 174/24, and VI ZR 38/22 ff. Our partner law firm recovers the full reductions.

What is a Sicherungsabtretung — and is it safe?

With the Sicherungsabtretung (security assignment) under §398 BGB, the injured party transfers the claim against the opposing insurer — up to the amount of the appraiser's fee — to the appraiser. You sign once; the appraiser then invoices the insurer directly. You pay nothing upfront. This is the industry standard.

How much diminished value can I claim after an accident?

The measurable diminished value (merkantile Wertminderung) according to the Sanden/Danner formula ranges between 500 € and 2,500 €. Rule of thumb: year 1: 25 %, year 2: 20 %, year 3: 15 %, year 4: 10 % of repair costs. No fixed age limit according to BGH VI ZR 357/03.

Am I entitled to a rental car after the accident?

After a non-at-fault accident, yes — under § 249 BGB the opposing liability insurer covers a rental car of comparable class for the duration of the repair or replacement. Alternatively it pays loss-of-use compensation in cash, graded by vehicle group and days off the road. If you drive little, the cash option is often the better deal.

Can I choose my own repair shop?

Yes, free choice of repair shop remains yours. The opposing insurer may not refer you to a partner workshop if you want the repair carried out at a brand-authorised specialist — this applies in particular to newer vehicles or those with a full service history.

What does the 130% rule mean in a total-loss case?

The 130% rule (BGH VI ZR 67/91) allows repair costs of up to 130 % of the replacement value — provided the vehicle is professionally repaired in accordance with the assessment and is used for at least 6 months after.

Habe ich nach einem Unfall in München Anspruch auf einen unabhängigen Kfz-Gutachter – auch wenn die gegnerische Versicherung einen eigenen schickt?

Ja. Als Geschädigter haben Sie nach §249 BGB das Recht, selbst einen unabhängigen Sachverständigen zu beauftragen; die Kosten trägt die gegnerische Haftpflicht, sofern der Unfallgegner haftet. Gutachter, die eine Versicherung empfiehlt, arbeiten in deren Auftrag – nicht in Ihrem Interesse.

Ab welchem Schadenbetrag lohnt sich ein Gutachten in München – oder reicht ein Kostenvoranschlag?

Der BGH hat die Bagatellgrenze bei rund 715,81 € festgelegt; viele Gerichte ziehen inzwischen rund 1.000 € als Schwelle heran. Bei höheren Schäden sollten Sie auf einem Gutachten bestehen – ein Kostenvoranschlag weist weder Wertminderung noch Nutzungsausfall nach. Bei Münchner Werkstattpreisen ist die Grenze schnell erreicht.

Wie lange dauert die Begutachtung in München – und kommt der Gutachter zu mir?

Wir kommen zu Ihnen – ob Schwabing, Bogenhausen, Pasing oder Ramersdorf. Die Vor-Ort-Besichtigung dauert je nach Schadenbild 30 bis 60 Minuten; das fertige Gutachten erhalten Sie in der Regel innerhalb von 24 bis 48 Stunden.

Muss ich mein beschädigtes Fahrzeug nach einem Unfall auf dem Mittleren Ring sofort reparieren lassen?

Nein – lassen Sie das Fahrzeug zuerst unabhängig begutachten, bevor es repariert wird. Nur so sind alle Schäden vollständig dokumentiert. Wird vor der Begutachtung repariert, verlieren Sie wichtige Beweismittel für Ihre Forderung gegenüber der gegnerischen Haftpflicht.

Was ist eine Sicherungsabtretung – und warum brauche ich sie in München?

Mit einer Sicherungsabtretung treten Sie Ihre Schadensersatzforderung in Höhe der Gutachterkosten sicherungshalber an uns ab. Wir rechnen dann direkt mit der gegnerischen Versicherung ab – Sie müssen nichts vorstrecken. Ihre Forderung bleibt durch die Abtretung gesichert.

Kann ich nach einem Unfall in München Nutzungsausfall oder Mietwagenkosten geltend machen?

Ja, beides ist bei Fremdverschulden erstattungsfähig. Nutzungsausfall erhalten Sie auch ohne Mietwagen, wenn Sie das Auto nachweislich genutzt hätten; die Tagessätze richten sich nach der Fahrzeugklasse. Alternativ sind die Kosten eines gleichwertigen Mietwagens erstattungsfähig. Wir weisen beides im Gutachten nach.
