Adaptive Driving Devices

Sixt is committed to providing a range of Adaptive Driving Devices for our customers with disabilities. Adaptive Driving Devices include left and right hand controls, and spinner knobs. Such devices are available at no additional charge.

While Sixt will use good faith efforts to satisfy requests for vehicles with Adaptive Driving Devices as soon as reasonably practical, we may require up to three business days’ advance notice for vehicles equipped with Adaptive Driving Devices depending on the location of the branch where such a vehicle is requested. However, at certain major airport locations, vehicles equipped with Adaptive Driving Devices may be available with as little as 72 hours’ advance notice. The foregoing timeframes are subject to delays beyond Sixt’s reasonable control.

Surrogate Drivers

Customers with disabilities who do not have a driver's license can still rent with Sixt when accompanied by a surrogate driver who presents a valid driver's license. Minimum age restrictions and other standard rental qualifications apply, but there is no additional charge for the surrogate driver, and the surrogate driver need not produce a credit card or otherwise be required to meet our financial underwriting requirements.
