The fine print
What Sixt charges to cancel
- Pay later
- What cancelling costs at Sixt depends on the rate you booked. Sixt's help center explains its cancellation charges, and your confirmation shows the terms on yours.
- Prepaid (Pay Now)
- A prepaid Sixt rate can carry a cancellation fee. Check the amount on your confirmation, and make sure the new rate beats it, before you book the new car.
Worth knowing
- Sixt's help center also covers changing a reservation, which can be simpler than cancelling when the lower rate is Sixt's own.
The short version
Book the lower rate first, confirm it, then cancel the original. Pay-later reservations usually cancel without a fee; on a prepaid rate, take the cancellation fee off the saving before you rebook.
