Can I rent a car without a credit card?

Renting a car without a credit card at SIXT is easy and convenient! Here's a quick guide:

Debit Card Use:
 
  • Good news! You can use a debit card at most SIXT locations. Debit cards are not accepted at any Canada locations.
  • To use your debit card, ensure it's valid at pick-up and for the entire rental period and in the name of the main driver.
  • The debit card must have enough funds to cover the rental amount plus the security hold. The amount for the security hold depends on the vehicle driven. For more information on the security hold, please visit our rental information.
  • Whether you're a local or flying in, and whether you're picking up from an airport or downtown location, there are specific rental requirements you must follow, including presenting additional documents.

Picking up at Airport Locations:
 
  • To use a U.S. debit card at any SIXT Airport location, show us your booked return flight, train, or bus ticket under your name, matching the return date of your SIXT rental and made at least 24 hours before pick-up.
  • You may choose any vehicle category except Luxury, Extraordinary, Full-size SUV, Standard Elite SUV, or Sports and Luxury vehicles (L***, X***, FF**, GF**, or Sports and Luxury).
  • International renters with a debit card issued in their country of residence may rent any vehicle category except Sports and Luxury. A return airline ticket or roundtrip itinerary is required.

Picking up at Downtown Locations:
 
  • To use a U.S. debit card at any SIXT Downtown location, show us your booked return flight, train, or bus ticket under your name, matching the return date of your SIXT rental and made at least 24 hours before pick-up.
  • If you are not able to present a booked return ticket as stated above, you can show us a current (not expired or overdue) utility or cable bill, your lease agreement, a pay stub, or a credit card statement from the pick-up state. Make sure there is no balance due and that it matches the name and address on your driver's license. And don't worry, if you've got digital copies from the official page (like the Florida Power & Light website), we will accept that!
  • Just keep in mind, this applies to any vehicle category except Luxury, Extraordinary, Full-size SUV, Standard Elite SUV, or Sports and Luxury vehicles (L***, X***, FF**, GF**, or Sports and Luxury).

Note: Debit cards are not accepted for rentals in Canada.
