Beware of marten bites: How to best protect your car - and who will pay for damage. In 2020 alone, martens caused 217,000 damages to comprehensively insured cars in Germany.

The ADAC is called to around 10,000 breakdowns caused by martens every year. If a bitten cable is noticed too late, it can lead to dangerous technical failures in the car. With electric cars, this can be particularly expensive - although tax cuts for electric car drivers are now planned.
