Costs & Fees
What benefits are included in the monthly rate? What do I need to take care of?
The monthly rate already includes everything you need to directly start driving your car. Specifically, we take care of all of the following for you:
- Registration, and vehicle road tax
- Maintenance & wear costs
- Tyres, including change and storage
- Liability insurance & theft protection
- Basic comprehensive insurance with deductible
- Free miles (variable depending on the vehicle)
- Regular vehicle costs & loss of value (depreciation)
What other costs can occur on top of the monthly rate?
Apart from the monthly installment, there is a one-off sign-up fee at the start of your car subscription. This ensures that you can start using your new vehicle after just 5 days. Please note our fee table in the SIXT rental information.
When renting a rental car, it is also common to leave a deposit as security for the rental car. This deposit amount is reserved on the means of payment upon collection and depends on the rented vehicle group.
