Sixt Car Hire in Germany

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

Whether you're after a compact car for quick trips or a people carrier for the whole family, Sixt has a diverse selection in Germany. The most popular options right now include Compact, Economy, Mini, Luxury, Intermediate, Fullsize.
