Question 1

What is the most popular pickup location for Sixt car hires in Colombo?

Accepted Answer

The most popular locations for picking up a Sixt car hire in Colombo are typically the main airports, such as Colombo Bandaranayake Airport (CMB). Collecting your hire car at the airport offers several benefits. Firstly, many car hire companies provide a convenient shuttle service every 10 to 15 minutes from the airport terminal to their rental facility, or you can collect the car directly from the airport parking area. Secondly, you can easily reserve your hire car online and collect it upon arrival. Additionally, airport locations often have a wide selection of vehicles available, including exotics, sedans, SUVs, pickup trucks, small cars, compact cars, people carrier cars, 7 seaters, 8 seaters, 9 seaters, 10 seater cars, ensuring you have plenty of options.

Question 2

Do I need to return the vehicle with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

The Sixt fuel policy you select in Colombo will determine your fueling responsibilities. With a full-to-full or same-to-same option, you need to return the car with the same amount of fuel it had at pickup. If not, you'll be charged for the missing fuel at a rate higher than the local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank. This means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, the cost will be higher overall since you'll be charged the local gas price minus a per-gallon discount, leading to an increased total cost.

Accepted Answer
