The renter and the driver must have a valid national and international driver's license. Any other Driving License is not accepted. Citizens of Gulf Cooperation Counties only need their valid national driver's licenses to make rentals, meaning they do not require international driver's licenses. For rentals up to two weeks, an international license in connection with a valid national driver's license is sufficient. If the rental period will be longer, please contact the Sixt office in Quatar as early as possible.
Please show a valid driver's license and identity card/passport at the time of pick up!
Photocopies, digital licenses, Learner's Permits, and driver's licenses with driving restrictions will not be accepted.
The renter expressly declares having received the vehicle under the conditions of use and cleanliness, with all accessories and documentation mentioned both in the agreement, and compromises to return the vehicle in the same condition, at the agreed upon place, on the agreed upon date and time specified in the agreement with a grace period of 1 hour. If the vehicle appears to have been or is used in violation of the Rental Agreement, Sixt may terminate the contract, and the renter is required to return the vehicle at the agreed upon place specified in the agreement, otherwise - and according to the law - Sixt reserves the right to take necessary legal action to retrieve the rented vehicle at renter´s expenses. Sixt is not responsible for private property that is damaged, lost or forgotten during or after the rental.
