Detailed Review
Sixt is a car rental company in the car rental platforms category. The German imprint names Sixt GmbH & Co. Autovermietung KG, Zugspitzstrasse 1, D-82049 Pullach, registered at the Amtsgericht Muenchen as HRA 81 061, with VAT number DE223999470. The general partner is Sixt Verwaltungs-GmbH with its seat in Vienna.
The homepage lists car rental, van rental, Share, a chauffeur and airport transfer service, SIXT+ car subscription and a business offer. We checked these pages on 5 November 2026.
Who is the contracting party for a Sixt booking?
On sixt.de the imprint names Sixt GmbH & Co. Autovermietung KG in Pullach. Sixt does not run one entity worldwide: the US pages of sixt.com carry a separate privacy notice from Sixt Rent a Car, LLC, which states that it does not cover Sixt entities outside the United States.
For a booking in Europe, check which entity the rental terms name before you pay.
How does Sixt compare with Hertz?
Both are large brands with their own stations, vans and loyalty schemes. The Sixt homepage states 2000+ stations in 105 countries and a SIXT ONE programme with rewards and discounts of up to 20%.
Hertz is stronger in the United States, where it lists many local licensees, while Sixt sets its legal home in Germany and a default driver age of 30 in the booking form we read.
What is not shown on the pages we read?
The pages we read show no price list, no excess amounts and no hosting location for customer data. The ownership of Sixt GmbH & Co. Autovermietung KG is not described in the imprint either.
Limitations to Consider
No tariffs, excess amounts or data hosting location were shown on the pages we read. The booking form we saw defaults to drivers aged 30, so younger drivers should check the age rules. Sixt also operates a separate US entity, so a US rental is not covered by the German imprint.
Who Should Use Sixt
Frequent renters who want a European contracting party but need cover across many countries, including vans and subscriptions.
