Insurance and Deposit

Sixt rentals include Limited Supplier Insurance, covering bodywork damage and theft while excluding keys, tyres, windscreens, glass and undercarriage. A refundable security deposit of $190 is held as a temporary pre-authorisation on the accepted payment card and released once the vehicle is returned without missing fuel, tolls, fines, or additional charges.

The rental also includes Zero Excess Cover, which provides comprehensive protection such as Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Waiver.
