The SIXT+ car subscription offers a wide range of vehicles — from small cars and estate cars to SUVs and premium models — all new or near-new, and available to browse on the SIXT website or in the SIXT App.
Available vehicle types
How vehicle groups work
When you subscribe, you choose a vehicle group (a bundle of similar models, also known by an ACRISS code) rather than a specific car. The exact vehicle you receive is confirmed at the SIXT station on the day of collection. This approach lets SIXT get a car to you quickly. All SIXT+ cars are new or near-new, from the current or previous model year, and professionally cleaned before handover.
What you can configure
There is no guarantee of a specific brand, model, or engine type within your chosen group. Depending on the vehicle, you may be able to add extras, including:
Colour choice
It's not possible to request a specific colour. SIXT+ cars reflect the colour ranges typically supplied by manufacturers in Great Britain, and are usually metallic.
Changing your car during the subscription
You cannot swap your vehicle for another within the same category during your subscription term or any renewal period, unless SIXT requires it. If a vehicle exchange is needed — for example, due to mileage or the age of your current car — SIXT will contact you with at least three days' notice to arrange a handover. The replacement will be an equivalent vehicle from the same category: new, clean, and fully maintained.

Your SIXT+ car subscription includes a mileage package you choose at the start, and you can adjust it at any time through the SIXT App — so you only ever pay for what you use.
Can I book more included miles?
During the online configuration of your SIXT+ car subscription, you can select the mileage package that best suits your needs. The packages available may vary depending on the vehicle you choose.
Can I carry over unused miles to the next month?
Your included miles apply to each 30-day billing period. Any unused miles are credited to the following month. If your needs change during your subscription, you can adjust your mileage package at any time by logging in to the SIXT App.
What happens if I exceed my included miles?
You have two options:
Any miles driven above your package are charged at a flat rate per mile. The exact rate depends on your vehicle model and is visible in your online account for your specific SIXT+ car subscription.
What happens if I forget to submit my mileage?
At the end of each billing period, you'll be asked to report your mileage via the SIXT App. If you miss the submission:

Your SIXT+ car subscription lets you add extra drivers and child seats, and welcomes pets — as long as you follow a few straightforward rules.
Can someone else drive my SIXT+ car?
Yes. You can add additional drivers when you configure your subscription. An additional driver fee applies per driver to make sure your chosen protection option covers them too. If an additional driver can't be present at vehicle collection, bring their valid driving licence and a signed authorisation. You can also register additional drivers at any SIXT branch in Great Britain at a later stage.
Important: if additional drivers are not registered in the hire agreement, claims may be rejected in the event of damage.
Can I book a child seat?
Yes. SIXT offers tested child seats for different age groups so you can travel safely with children. Seats are checked regularly and replaced when needed.
Is smoking allowed in SIXT+ vehicles?
No. SIXT operates a 100% smoke-free fleet in Great Britain. All forms of smoking — cigarettes, cigars, and pipes — are prohibited in every SIXT vehicle. If the car is returned smelling of smoke, an additional cleaning fee will apply.
Are pets allowed?
Yes, pets are welcome in SIXT vehicles, provided the seats are covered or the animal is kept in a carrier or cage. A cleaning fee may be charged if the vehicle is returned soiled.
