The desk in the terminal was very helpful and quick with processing the booking. The Sixt parking area is close to the terminal. The staff at the parking area were not helpful. I had to check and verify the damage report, and the fuel was meant to be full but was well below full.

I recently rented a car from SIXT and had a fantastic experience. From start to finish, the service was professional and efficient. The booking process was straightforward, and the staff at the office were friendly and helpful. The vehicle I received was in pristine condition, well-maintained, and exactly what I needed for my trip. The pick-up and drop-off procedures were smooth and hassle-free. I especially appreciated the clear instructions and transparent pricing. Overall, I highly recommend SIXT for anyone in need of a reliable and stress-free car rental. I will definitely be using their services again in the future. Thank you for a great experience!

Good to know when renting in Palermo

What is the expected deposit amount, and how will the funds be held?

SIXT holds a security deposit via a pre-authorization on your credit card at pickup. The amount varies by vehicle category, location, and rental duration. It is not a charge, funds are temporarily blocked and automatically released after the vehicle is returned in good condition, typically within 7-14 business days. Find full details in the SIXT Rental Information.

Are cross-border trips allowed?

Cross-border trips with a SIXT rental are allowed in some cases but subject to strict restrictions. For example, US renters may drive into select Canadian provinces depending on their pickup state. However, driving into Mexico is strictly prohibited. Additionally, international one-way rentals are not permitted. You should always check for restrictions before crossing any border. Full details are in the SIXT Rental Information.

How do I find the best price for my rental dates?

To find the best SIXT rental price, book early and compare rates directly on the SIXT website or app. Prepaid "Pay Now" rates offer the lowest prices but are non-refundable. Flexible rates are also available at a slightly higher cost. Signing up for SIXT loyalty programs can unlock exclusive deals and discounts.
