How can I get the best deal going with Sixt rent a car?

Aside from weighing up all the best packages online before booking, there are plenty of other ways you can cut the cost of your Sixt car rental premium. Try:

  • Collecting the car away from the airport;
  • Booking your vehicle long before packing your vacation bags.

What age must I be to get a Sixt car rental?

You will need to be at least 21 years young to be able to bag yourself a Sixt rental car. It's also normal for people under 25 to pay surcharges that are calculated per driver, per day.

Looking to share the pedal pushing and steering? That shouldn't be a problem. Most Sixt cars will make it easy to add a second driver to the mix, though it might increase the cost a little.

What things do I need to sort to get my Sixt car hire?

A brief history of the Sixt brand

Founded in Germany way back in 1912, the Sixt name started with just a handful of cars. As the aviation industry expanded in the 60s and 70s, so too did the number of locations across the country, going from Berlin to Munich and beyond. In the 1990s, the brand hopped across borders, establishing outposts in Switzerland and then the rest of the world. That's now skyrocketed to more than 4,000 globally, all served by one of the most eclectic car fleets on the market.
