What to check before you book

Tap a topic to see what to look out for.

Fuel policy

Check whether the car is full-to-full or pre-paid fuel. Pre-paid fuel is usually dearer than refuelling yourself.

Excess and insurance

Standard cover has an excess you pay if the car is damaged. Compare reducing the excess with the supplier against third-party cover.

One-way fees

Dropping the car in a different city can add a fee. See our one-way guide before you choose a route.

Young and additional drivers

Drivers under 25 and extra drivers often cost more per day. Confirm the amounts at booking.

Tolls and fines

Tolls and fines are passed on by the supplier, often with an admin fee. Ask how tolls are billed.

Deposit

A card deposit is normally held at pick-up and released after return. Check the amount and the card type accepted.

Does Sixt have airport pick-up in Australia?

Sixt is generally available at major Australian airports. Check the airport page for your city, then confirm desk or shuttle details with the supplier.
