"},{"text":"What is SIXT Car Gate and how does it detect damage?","href":"/help-center/articles/car-gate/","articleId":"9797","content":"At select branches, SIXT uses Car Gates to capture the condition of your vehicle. As the car leaves and re-enters the branch parking area — at the start and end of your rental — the vehicle is photographed automatically and its condition is fully documented. This significantly simplifies the pick-up and return process and improves your overall rental experience. The final assessment of any potential damage is always made by our trained staff.
How it works
Drive into the Car Gate lane
Car Gate captures the vehicle automatically with a drive-through scanner — equipped with cameras, sensors, and a dedicated lighting system
Images are anonymized immediately and automatically
The system compares the current condition with the photos taken at pick-up (provided the pick-up branch also has a Car Gate)
If new damage is suspected, our trained staff carefully review the images. SIXT only opens a damage case when the damage is clearly identified as new
Your benefits
Transparent and objective documentation of the vehicle's condition
Faster and significantly simpler pick-up and return
Your privacy
Car Gate meets the requirements of applicable data protection laws (e.g., CCPA)
Anyone who might be identifiable in the images is automatically and permanently anonymized — for example, by blurring faces or vehicle windows
The images are used exclusively for rental administration and damage documentation — as set out in our Privacy Policy
If new damage is detected
The system flags possible damage points — the final assessment is always carried out by a trained SIXT staff member
If the damage is confirmed, you will receive an email from SIXT with all the relevant information and the corresponding photos for documentation
If you have any questions, use the contact details in the email to get in touch with SIXT directly
