SIXT+ Usage and Restrictions – Duration & Driving Areas

The SIXT+ car subscription

A car subscription like the one from SIXT+ is the flexible alternative to buying a car or classic leasing. For a fixed monthly price, you can drive a modern vehicle from the category of your choice without making a long-term commitment. The car subscription with SIXT+ has a minimum term of 30 days and is extended by a further 30 days if you do not informally cancel the car subscription beforehand by returning the vehicle. It's as simple as that. The best thing about the car subscription is that all additional costs are already included in the fixed price and you only have to pay the fuel costs at the filling station. You can drive your car for as long as you like - without any long-term commitment and with maximum flexibility.

What benefits are included in the monthly rate? What do I need to take care of?

Specifically, we take care of all of the following for you:

REGISTRATION AND PROVISIONING: Your car is fully registered and ready to drive from day one – without any additional paperwork.
MAINTENANCE & WEAR: The subscription covers all standard preventive maintenance, including oil changes and tire rotations. Please be aware that while this includes normal wear and tear, the subscriber is financially responsible for any physical damage resulting from accidents.
MONTHLY CANCELATION OPTION: You can cancel your subscription anytime by returning the vehicle.
MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY: Add many extras like additional mileage or a child seat at any time before or during your subscription.
INCLUDED MILEAGE: Basic free mileage package. Upgrade monthly according to your needs.
PREMIUM FLEET & LATEST MODELS: Choose from our premium models and always get a vehicle from the current or previous model year.
IMMEDIATE AVAILABILITY: Start your subscription as early as tomorrow. Only one day advance booking time.

What other costs can occur on top of the monthly rate?

In addition to the monthly rate, you will be responsible for a one-time enrollment fee charged at the time of booking. This fee is in consideration for your right to participate in the SIXT+ program.

When renting a rental car, it is also common to leave a deposit as security for the rental car. This deposit amount is reserved on the means of payment upon collection and depends on the rented vehicle group. After the first rental term, the deposit will be released to your payment method.

You are also responsible for any fees and penalties as enumerated in each rental agreement, unless such a specific fee or penalty is specifically excused by the terms and conditions (the "Miscellaneous Fees"). These include but are not limited to tolls, speeding tickets, parking tickets, etc.

Is there a minimum contract period?

The minimum term is one month, or more precisely 30 days. The SIXT + Auto subscription runs very flexibly and is billed in 30-day periods. When you begin your SIXT+ car subscription, you will drive your car, at the subscription fee specified upon booking, from the start date you defined for 30 days. If you decide to return your car within this period, your SIXT+ car subscription will be terminated after one month.

If you want to continue using the vehicle, just keep driving. Your subscription then simply continues to run and is automatically extended for another 30 days for as long as you want.

Why do I need to pay a one-time sign-up fee?

The sign-up fee, which you only pay once – at the beginning of your subscription, is in consideration for your right to participate in the SIXT+ program.

How many Sixt+ subscriptions can I have?

You can only have one active SIXT+ subscription at a time. Of course, you can have an unlimited number of subscriptions one after the other if you prefer even more variety.

How long can I continue to drive my Sixt+ car?

No matter how long you use our SIXT+ car, your vehicle will be replaced every 12 months at the latest, because your safety and the condition of the vehicles is important to us.

Depending on the mileage or holding time of your current vehicle, it can be required to be replaced with another, equivalent vehicle, i.e. one that corresponds to the contractually-agreed vehicle group. You will be informed well in advance about the necessary vehicle exchange by the responsible SIXT branch, and we will arrange an appointment for you to exchange. You don't have to worry about anything, and you get a new, clean, perfectly-maintained, and safe car of the same category.

There is no additional charge for a vehicle exchange, as long as you stick to the agreed date.
SIXT can terminate the contract in case of breach with the terms and conditions upon written notice.

Can I take the vehicle out of the state of rental?

Territorial restrictions apply depending on the state where the rental takes place. For further information please visit this page.
