Your SIXT ride driver will meet you at the scheduled collection address — the exact spot depends on where you're being collected from.
Hotel collection
Your driver will wait for you in the lobby or at the main entrance.
Airport collection
If you provided a flight number, your driver will track your flight and meet you behind the arrivals gate. To request a specific meeting point, add your preference in the notes to driver field when booking.
Special meeting points
In rare cases, a specific meeting point may be required. You'll receive instructions by email in advance.
Running late?
Contact your driver as soon as you realise you'll be delayed so they can adjust. If your delay exceeds the free waiting time, agree any additional waiting directly with the driver. Please note that collection cannot be guaranteed for short-notice delays beyond the free waiting period.

Your booking includes a set amount of free waiting time, which varies by booking class and region — the exact duration is shown during booking.
Pre-booked rides
Free waiting time is included and displayed at the time of booking. For full details, see our booking conditions.
On-demand rides (ride-hailing partners, for example taxi)
No free waiting time is included. Make your way to the pickup location as soon as the SIXT App shows that your driver has arrived.

If you're running late, contact your driver immediately — they can only wait for the included free waiting time, and SIXT cannot guarantee your collection beyond that.
What to do
Good to know
SIXT cannot guarantee your collection if the delay runs beyond the included waiting time. Reaching out to your driver early gives you the best chance of keeping your ride.
