All-Inclusive Protection Package

Our All-Inclusive Protection Package minimizes your financial liability in the event of accidental damage to the rental vehicle, providing you with maximum security during your journey. Enjoy peace of mind – wherever the road takes you.

Additional drivers

To ensure additional drivers are covered, they must be listed on the rental agreement:

Drivers may only operate the vehicle if they meet the age requirements for the booked vehicle category.
All optional protection products also apply to registered additional drivers, provided no rental agreement violations occur.
A daily fee applies for each additional driver.
Fees vary depending on the rental country and duration. Please check the charges for your specific rental location and dates.

Booking through third-party portals

Protection purchased through third-party booking portals (e.g., Expedia) may provide limited coverage:

Many policies do not offer full financial protection (e.g., no GBP 0 deductible).
Third-party protection is often secondary to your personal auto insurance.
Please review all terms carefully before relying on coverage not provided directly by SIXT.

Using credit card coverage

Some credit cards provide additional rental car protection:

This is often secondary coverage – you may need to file a claim with your personal auto insurance first.
Limitations may apply to vehicle types or rental duration.
Review your credit card’s terms carefully before relying on this coverage.

Changes during the rental

Once you have taken possession of your rental vehicle, protection options cannot be added or removed. Please select your desired protection packages carefully when booking or at the rental station during the creation of the rental agreement.
