What protection is included in my SIXT car hire in the UK?

SIXT Car Hire Protection in the UK

Is protection included in my rental booking?

When you rent a vehicle from SIXT, Third Party Liability cover for bodily injury and property damage is always included, in line with legal requirements. Additionally, all UK rates include a Loss Damage Waiver (LDW), giving you peace of mind during your rental. 

Can I reduce or remove my excess?

SIXT offers a range of optional protection products to help reduce or remove your excess in various situations. Detailed information about these options can be found in the rental agreement and on our protection options page.

What if I am under 28 years old – do I need extra insurance?

Drivers under 28 are subject to a Young Driver Surcharge. The exact fee depends on the driver's age, location and rental period. Details are available on our rental information page.

Are additional drivers covered?

All additional drivers must be added to the Rental Agreement to be insured. They must meet the age and license requirements for the vehicle type rented. Additional drivers also benefit from any optional protection products purchased, provided there are no violations of the rental agreement.

A daily charge applies for each additional driver where allowed by law. Prices vary depending on rental length, location, and dates, so please check your booking for exact fees.
