Fines & Violations

What happens if I receive tolls, speeding tickets or parking tickets?

You are responsible for all fines and charges issued as a result of you or any driver using the Vehicle. Fines and charges could include: all parking fines or charges; toll charges; towing charges; clamping costs; traffic fines or charges; speeding fines; and any other charges or fines.

If a fine or charge is sent to us because you haven’t paid a charge or complied with the law, we will take payment for: (a) our administration fee of 40.00 GBP for every transaction handled by Sixt which is notified to you at the time of booking and can be found on our website at www.sixt.co.uk/rental-information/ to cover our costs of dealing with the fine or charge; and (b) the fine or charge itself (if we have to pay it).

Does SIXT charge for the processing of fines and penalties?

Sixt charges a lump sum for processing a traffic violation in accordance with the general terms and conditions. You will receive a copy of the relevant authority request together with our letter.

Please note: The fine itself is not included in this lump sum. Pay the fine directly to the authority if it contacted you. No payment is made by Sixt.

I didn’t cause the violation; but a registered additional driver. Do I need to pay?

Please inform the authority if the driver name differs from that of the SIXT + subscriber. The lump sum for expenses is automatically charged to the holder of the SIXT + subscription and must be paid to Sixt. It is irrelevant who makes this transfer. A separate letter to the actual causer will not be sent.
