My account & registration
I was asked by the SIXT App to add a trusted device. Why should I do this?
This is a security measure to protect you and your account from fraud. Once you have added a trusted device, your data (personal contact details and means of payment) is even more secure because this allows our system to check both your PIN code and whether you are attempting to book your journey from a device you have verified prior to starting your SIXT share rental. If the system doesn´t recognize the device and/or you do not add it, the rental cannot begin. The SIXT app will guide you through the process of adding a trusted device.
I was asked to verify my phone number in the SIXT app. Why do I need to do that?
The security of your account and your data is of the utmost importance to us, which is why we develop appropriate measures to protect you from fraud. Please do verify your phone number to ensure that your data (personal contact information, registered payment methods) is protected in the best possible way. The verification proces is very simple and takes less than a minute. Should you be asked to verify, please enter your current cell phone number that you use on the device on which you also use the SIXT app. You will immediately receive an SMS with a code and then have one minute to enter this code in the app. If you need a bit more time, simply request a new code. If you would like to change your phone number in your profile at a later time, you will be asked to verify this again.
Can I withhold certain information on my ID card during the registration?
Yes, you have the option of blacking out certain information on the ID card (identity card or passport). This includes: Card Access Number (CAN, only available on the new ID cards), eye color, height, name of group or alias, and signature. Hiding this data does not have any negative effect on your registration, but please note that any data not listed here is necessary for your registration. To withhold data, please cover your ID card with paper (or similar) and take a picture of the original ID card during the registration process. Please note, that subsequent image processing of a scan or picture of your ID card is not allowed.
