Book Sixt car rental
Sixt is a European operator that has expanded steadily in North America, and it is known for carrying a higher proportion of premium German vehicles than most competitors at comparable price points.
Rental brand
SX
USA / GlobalWhat Sixt is known for
A fleet weighted towards premium marques, and branch design that feels closer to a showroom than a rental desk.
Tends to suit
- Premium vehicles
- City breaks
- Special occasions
Vehicles and categories
Noticeably more premium and sports models than the average operator, alongside standard categories. Availability of the higher categories is very branch-dependent.
If a specific class of vehicle matters for your trip, ask early. Premium categories are the first to go and cannot be guaranteed at short notice.
Popular Sixt pick-up points

Before you book
These apply to every rental company, Sixt included, and they are where most unexpected charges come from.
What you need to collect a car
A full driving licence held for the operator's minimum period, a payment card in the main driver's name for the security hold, and photo ID or a passport when renting abroad. Some countries also ask for an International Driving Permit alongside your home licence.
How insurance and excess work
Rentals include basic cover with an excess - the amount you are liable for if the car is damaged. You can reduce it at the counter, through a separate policy, or sometimes through your own credit card. We explain the options; the choice stays yours.
Fuel policies
Full-to-full is usually the fairest: you collect a full tank and return it full. Prepaid fuel only pays off if you return the car close to empty. We tell you which policy applies before you book.
Driver age and extra drivers
Drivers under 25 often face a young-driver surcharge and are restricted from larger or premium categories. Additional drivers must be registered and usually carry a daily fee. Tell us who is driving and we will price it properly.
How to request a Sixt car
Use the search above to set your pick-up point, dates and collection times, then send the request. Tell us the group size, how much luggage you have and who is driving. Our team checks what is available, confirms the total including extras, and only then arranges the booking. No payment is taken on this website.
Sixt questions
Can I request a particular premium model?
You can state a preference and we will pass it on, but rentals are booked by category, not model. No operator will guarantee a specific car.
Is the excess higher on premium categories?
Typically yes, and so is the security hold. We will tell you the figures for your category before you agree to anything.
Are younger drivers accepted on premium vehicles?
Premium and sports categories usually carry a higher minimum age than standard cars. Give us the driver's age and we will confirm eligibility first.
