How to rent on the platform

On Sixt, you search by pick-up location, dates and vehicle category. Results are sorted by price, vehicle size or rating. Every listing shows insurance policy, deductible, mileage cap and options (baby seat, GPS, additional driver).

Pricing, insurance and cancellation

Sixt typically offers two rate tiers: "Full protection" (zero-deductible insurance, more peace of mind but more expensive) and "Standard" (basic insurance with deductible, cheaper but higher financial risk). Payment happens at booking; a hold is placed on your card at pick-up and released at drop-off.
