Car Hire with Sixt

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.

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 traveling, familiarize yourself with local driving laws and regulations. This can help you avoid fines and ensure a safe driving experience.

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.

Note that certain rental companies have age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Always verify the age policy before booking.

If you intend to drive off the beaten path, verify with the rental company if this is allowed. Not all vehicles are equipped for off-road driving.

Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.

One of the top reasons to rent a car from Sixt is the wide range of amenities available to elevate your travel experience. You can customize your vehicle with accessories that suit your needs—whether you're hitting the slopes and require winter tires or snow chains, or exploring the city and want a GPS navigation system to help you drive like a local. Families can also benefit from child seats, ensuring a safe and comfortable journey for parents traveling with children. Choose the perfect add-ons to make your car rental experience with Sixt exceptional.
