Choose Prepaid for the best price when your travel dates are confirmed — always cheaper, but with limited refundability. Flexi is the right choice if your plans may still change — you pay at pick-up and any changes or cancellations are free until then.
Flexi rate
Pay at pick-up
Free changes or cancellations up to pick-up
The right choice when your plans are not yet confirmed
Prepaid rate
Full payment at the time of booking
Lower price than Flexi
Limited refund in case of cancellation; no refund for no-show
Date changes are possible and recalculated at the current rate
Which one is right for you
Prepaid wins on price if you're certain; Flexi wins on flexibility if you're not.

Some SIXT bookings — particularly for Luxury vehicles — are created as on request while the local team checks availability. Confirmation usually arrives within a few hours, and within 24 hours at the latest.
How to recognise an on-request booking
Your confirmation email will state "Your request is being processed".
What happens next
The branch checks availability and either confirms your booking or offers an alternative — you'll receive a message either way.
