- rental of cars, other motor vehicles as defined in Article 3 point 11 of European Parliament and Council Directive 2007/46/EC, or motorcycles requiring a driving licence under Article 4(3)(c) of European Parliament and Council Directive 2006/126/EC

What does this mean?
This section explains what a travel service is. The term is the building block for the Act's two main concepts, package holiday (pakkereise) (§ 6) and linked travel arrangement (sammensatt reisearrangement) (§ 7). Four types count: passenger transport, overnight stays, rental of cars and certain motorcycles, and other tourist services. Overnight stays that are part of the transport, or that are for residential purposes, fall outside. A tourist service only counts if it is not already part of one of the other types. Here the Act refers to two EU directives on vehicles and driving licences. The section is in Chapter 1 together with the scope (virkeområde) in § 1 and the other definitions in § 8.
