Vehicle exchange

Vehicle exchange

Yes — with the SIXT+ car subscription, you can switch to a different vehicle category at any time during your subscription term, whether that's moving up to a larger class or down to a smaller one.

How to request a category change

  1. Check the SIXT website or the SIXT App for all vehicle groups currently available at your location.
  2. Email plus-us@sixt.com with your desired new category and your preferred time window for the swap — at least 5 days in advance.
  3. The team at your location will check availability and, if possible, confirm a vehicle swap.

What to keep in mind

  • You can request a category change no more than once per 30-day billing period.
  • Changes are only possible at your assigned contract location — swaps at other locations are not available.
  • A switch to a specific model, trim level, or engine type is not possible.
  • Availability cannot always be guaranteed, but you'll receive a prompt response either way.

Cost

A one-time $49.99 [PLEASE VERIFY: source states €49.99 — confirm correct currency for US market] processing fee applies for each requested vehicle swap, covering vehicle preparation and associated costs.

Your monthly payment will be adjusted to reflect the new category. For the current month, you'll always be charged the rate for the higher vehicle category. If the switch results in a higher monthly payment, the new rate takes effect immediately. If it results in a lower payment, the new rate applies from the next billing period.

How the swap works

  1. Once your request is confirmed, you'll receive confirmation from the branch team — possibly with a suggested alternative date.
  2. Bring your vehicle to the branch at the agreed time and allow around 15–20 minutes for the handover.

Do not drive to the branch without final confirmation of the category change.
