With SIXT share, you can reduce your deductible from €950 down to €0 by adding a protection option before your trip starts — right in the SIXT app at the time of reservation.
\n\nThe standard deductible per damage is €950. Protection options are available in Germany and the Netherlands, and let you lower that amount. Prices vary by vehicle category and value, so the exact price for your chosen vehicle is shown in the SIXT app when you book.
\n\nProtection options are priced to match your rental type:
\nOnce you select an hourly or daily package, per-minute protection booking is no longer available for that trip. Keep in mind that unused minutes in a package are non-refundable. When a package expires, billing switches back to per-minute rates — you can check the applicable rate for your vehicle in the price overview in the SIXT app.
\n\nProtection option prices reflect the vehicle category and its value, as well as your rental duration. This ensures you pay a fair rate for the level of coverage that matches your trip.
\n\nImportant: Protection options can only be added before you unlock the vehicle — they cannot be added once the rental has started.
\n\nNo — private car insurance does not apply to SIXT share vehicles. You must use one of the protection options available in the app.
\n\nFor a complete breakdown of protection option costs, visit the SIXT share rate overview.
\n\nTip: Save your preferred deductible in the app and it will be applied automatically to every future SIXT share trip.
