SIXT+ Subscription Terms – Duration, Age Limits & Driving Abroad

Contract & Usage

Is there a minimum contract period?

The minimum term is only one month, more precisely 30 days. The SIXT+ car subscription runs very flexibly and is billed in 30-day periods. When you conclude your SIXT+ car subscription, you drive your car from the start date you defined for 30 days at the subscription fee specified upon booking. If you decide to return your car right within this period, your SIXT+ car subscription will be terminated after one month. You can return your vehicle at any time before the 30-day period ends. We kindly ask you to inform us of the return date at least seven days in advance so that we can optimally prepare the return. You can easily arrange your return date in the SIXT app. If you hand in the vehicle without giving a return date, we will charge you a fee of £29.99.

If you want to continue using the vehicle, just keep driving. Please note: Your subscription contract has a maximum duration of 90 days (3 subscripton periods of 30 days each). For more information see the FAQ "What is the maximum contract duration?"

What is the maximum contract duration?

This contract has a maximum duration of 90 days (3 subscripton periods of 30 days each). You need to return the vehicle to the SIXT branch before the end of the 3rd 30 days period.

How long can I continue to drive my SIXT+ car?

Depending on the mileage or holding time of your current vehicle, it can be required to be replaced with another, equivalent vehicle, i.e. one that corresponds to the contractually-agreed vehicle group. You will be informed well in advance about the necessary vehicle exchange by the responsible SIXT branch, and we will arrange an appointment for you to exchange. You don't have to worry about anything, and you get a new, clean, perfectly-maintained, and safe car of the same category.

There is no additional charge for a vehicle exchange, as long as you stick to the agreed date. SIXT can terminate the contract in case of breach with the terms and conditions upon written notice.

Can I take the vehicle out of the UK?

Unfortunately it is not possbile to take your SIXT+ vehicle outside of the UK.

How old do I have to be to subscribe and drive a SIXT+ car?

The minimum age to rent a vehicle is 21 and the driver must have a valid driver's license. At 21 years old you will need to have held a valid licence for at least one year and that will let you drive economy, mini and compact cars. As you get to ages 23, 25 and 30 and have held a licence for enough years larger cars such as SUVs and luxury cars become available. For a full list of vehicle groups please refer to our full guide. Please also note that there is an Underage Driver Fee per day for anyone younger than 25 years of age. This will just be added to the final price, once you have entered your personal data upon finalization of your booking.

How many SIXT+ subscriptions can I have?

You can only have one active SIXT+ subscription at a time. Of course, you can have an unlimited number of subscriptions one after the other if you prefer even more variety.
