ÖBB · During a task

How does the exterior wash work on ÖBB Rail&Drive tasks?

You wash the vehicle outside at a car wash and pay with the fuel card from the document folder. Before and after photos are mandatory, and you must do the cleaning yourself.

Applies in Vienna, Innsbruck

Steps

  1. Take the before photo.
  2. Drive to the car wash and wash the vehicle outside. Pay with the fuel card from the document folder.
  3. Take the after photo.

With a vehicle check

  • An exterior wash can be a fixed add-on to a vehicle check. If it is known upfront, the card shows "Außenreinigung" and the checkbox is pre-ticked and locked in the completion flow. You can't change it.
  • If no exterior wash is specified upfront, you decide after a visual check whether the vehicle needs washing.
  • If an exterior wash is needed and the tank is below 25%, refuelling is mandatory as part of the task too.

Notes

  • You must carry out the cleaning yourself. It can't be handed over to someone else.
  • The petrol station is only open until 24:00, so wash by 23:00 at the latest.
