What happens if I receive tolls, speeding tickets, or parking tickets?

\n
\n
\n
\n

In accordance with the General Terms and Conditions, you as a subscriber are fully liable for all costs and fees incurred in connection with traffic and administrative offenses, such as traffic tickets and fines. We pass on your contact details to the requesting authority. Please pay the fine directly to the authority if it contacted you. No payment is made by Sixt.

\n
\n
\n
\n


Does Sixt charge for the processing of penalties?

\n

Sixt charges a lump sum for processing a traffic violation in accordance with the general terms and conditions. You will receive a copy of the relevant authority request together with our letter.

\n

Please note: The fine itself is not included in this lump sum. Pay the fine directly to the authority if it contacted you. No payment is made by Sixt.

\n


I didn’t cause the violation, but a registered additional driver. Do I need to pay?

\n
\n
\n
\n

Please inform the authority if the driver name differs from that of the SIXT + subscriber. The lump sum for expenses is automatically charged to the holder of the SIXT + subscription and must be paid to SIXT. It is irrelevant who makes this transfer. A separate letter to the actual causer will not be sent.
