On March 17th, the staff member who assisted us at pickup was friendly and helpful. The booth’s orange design was clean and stylish, and the return report was thorough and detailed. The rented vehicle was in excellent, almost new condition. Great job!

Good to know when renting at Frankfurt Airport

Can I return the rental car outside of business hours at Frankfurt Airport?

How much is the security deposit for a SIXT rental, and how is it charged?

At pick-up, a deposit is pre-authorized on your card based on your vehicle category — your bank reserves the funds without actually debiting them, and the hold is released once your rental is complete. For the exact deposit amount for your booking, visit our car rental information page since it depends on your pick up location.
