113 years of SIXT. 113 years of tradition.

What does my SIXT protection package actually cover?

Damage claims

Every SIXT rental car comes with third-party liability insurance and basic Loss Damage Waiver / theft cover with a standard deductible. You can reduce your deductible by adding optional protection — right down to zero. Intentional damage, gross negligence and breaches of the rental agreement are not covered by any protection package.

Always included

  • Third-party liability insurance — covers damage caused to third parties by the rental car, in line with statutory requirements

  • Loss Damage Waiver / theft cover — protects the rental car against damage or theft up to the amount of the standard deductible

  • 24/7 SIXT Roadside Assistance — immediate help with breakdowns, tyre damage, battery problems or lockouts

Optional add-ons

  • Deductible reduction — reduces your deductible in case of damage to a lower fixed amount

  • Loss Damage Waiver with zero deductible — removes your deductible entirely for covered damage

  • Tyre and Glass Protection — covers damage to tyres, the windscreen, side and rear windows and mirrors

  • Interior Protection — covers soiling or damage to the vehicle's interior that would otherwise result in a cleaning or repair charge

  • Personal Accident Insurance — protects you and your passengers against personal injury during the rental period

Not covered by any package

  • Intentional damage or gross negligence

  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs

  • Breaches of the rental agreement (e.g. unauthorised drivers, off-road driving, travel to non-permitted countries)

  • Loss of personal belongings — please use your travel or home contents insurance

  • Administration fees for traffic offences

Note: The exact deductible amount and included protection components are stated in your rental agreement and in the Rental Information on the SIXT website.
