All information about Key Features

The SIXT App brings service area maps, account management, booking profiles, vehicle filters, and Car Radar together in one place.

Service areas

Each SIXT product has its own service area, shown as a red boundary line on the in-app map. Tap any SIXT share vehicle to see its service area. You must end your rental within this boundary — ending outside it isn't possible. You can also view service area maps on the city page for your location on the SIXT website. Service areas differ by product, so tap the relevant product to display its specific area.

Account information

Tap the person icon in the top-right corner of the app to access your account. From there you can manage your payment method, vouchers, and personal details. Full instructions are in the "My Account" section.

Booking profiles

A booking profile stores your payment method, billing address, and email address, so you can control where invoices are sent and which payment method is charged for each trip. If you have more than one profile, find them at the bottom of the map view — just above the filter bar. Tap "Booking Profile" and select the one you want to use.

Filtering for specific vehicles

Use the filter function to narrow results by provider, vehicle type, manufacturer, and more.

Car Radar

Car Radar searches for a vehicle that matches your filter settings, up to 10 days ahead of when you need it. It's available for SIXT share vehicles only — not for partner services such as EMMY.

How to set up Car Radar

  1. In the Share tab, tap the three dots in the top-right corner and select "Car Radar."
  2. Set your desired location on the map, then choose the date and time you need the vehicle.
  3. Tap "Save Radar."

What happens next

  • Car Radar activates at your chosen start time and searches for 1 hour within a 500-meter radius of your address.
  • When a match is found, it's automatically reserved for you — free of charge — for 15 minutes, and you'll receive a push notification (notifications must be enabled).
  • Tap "Configure rental" to adjust the booking to your needs. [PLEASE VERIFY: the source states a €30 security hold — confirm the correct amount and currency for the US market before publishing.]

If multiple customers search for the same time and location using Car Radar, reservations are made on a first-come, first-served basis.
