This includes various features, such as size, equipment, and engine.

Outside of business opening hours, you can pick up or drop off your rental car at many Sixt branches. You will be informed whether this service is available for you at the station. Alternatively, on SIXT’s website.

With Sixt Express, picking up your car will be a flying visit. Apply for the SIXT card and save the required data for future pick-ups. This will win you valuable time whenever you need to go to a Sixt station. Additionally, you can check-in online.

You may include additional drivers, who are at least 21 years old, in the rental contract by showing their driving licenses. If the additional driver cannot be present during pick-up, you can go to any SIXT station across the country to have the registration done.

There will be no insurance coverage in the event of a claim until the additional driver has been included in the contract.
