Accommodations for Customers with Disabilities

Adaptive Driving Devices.

SIXT is committed to providing a range of Adaptive Driving Devices for our customers with disabilities. Adaptive Driving Devices include 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 hand controls, and, spinner knobs, as soon as reasonably practical, we may require at least 48 hours advance notice at all locations. 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 normal 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.
