I have problems using SIXT share with my EC card.
All EC card (SEPA) transactions are processed by our external partner Riverty. If your EC card is rejected, SIXT share Customer Serive will unfortunately not be able to help you. We kindly ask you to revert to Riverty.
If you have any questions about your customer profile at Riverty (e.g. open invoices, credit lines, etc.) or possible payment by installments, please also contact our colleagues.

Invoice
My account was debited even before the trip. What is this?
Before you start your rental, we reserve the expected invoice amount plus a security deposit. If you use the minute rate, the amount is a minimum of 30€, if you use a package, the amount is the current valid price for the selected package, which is displayed in the app at the time of the reservation plus a buffer amount as security in case you keep the car beyond the package or add further additional services. If the invoice amount increases due to additional services or longer usage, a new security amount will be requested on your credit card. A rental is only possible if the requested security amount has been confirmed. We will automatically release the reserved amount. The final release depends on your bank and may take a few days. Unfortunately, we have no influence on this.
The security amount was not released.
The reserved amounts will be automatically released after the settlement of the rental. The final release depends on the bank issuing the credit card and may take a few days. Unfortunately, we have no influence over this.
Is there collective billing?
At the moment we do not offer collective billing.
Can the means of payment on an invoice be changed later?
Unfortunately it is not possible for us to change your means of payment after a journey. At the beginning of the journey we use the existing means of payment for the account. We can therefore not consider your new payment data. You can change your means of payment for future trips quickly and easily in our app. Select "Account" at the bottom right. You will then find an overview of your payment data under your booking profiles.

How do I change the billing address on the invoice?
Quickly and easily create another booking profile in the SIXT app. You can then select the desired profile before making the reservation and the billing address will be accepted. Our customer service agents will be happy to change the billing address for you at a later date.
Where can I find my invoices?
We will send the invoice to the email address provided immediately after your journey. You are welcome to access it again in the SIXT app under "My booking".
Is there a deposit?
At the beginning of the rental period, a security deposit is blocked at the customer's financial institution as a guarantee. The amount of the deposit is a minimum of 30€ and depends on the expected amount of the rental price. If at the beginning of the rental period the expected rental price is not fixed (e.g. if you have chosen the minute based price), the deposit is a minimum of 30€. If you book a package, the amount corresponds to the price for the selected package, which is displayed in the app at the time of the reservation, plus a buffer amount as security in case you continue to use the vehicle beyond the planned duration or add further additional services. The deposit is for your security and ours, and is intended to ensure that your rental is not terminated unintentionally during use due to lack of authorization from the bank. At the same time, it assures us that the invoice amount due will be paid.
Payment
I have problems using SIXT share with my credit card.
You cannot register your credit card?
When you register a new credit card in your customer account, the system checks the means of payment. The credit card will be rejected by our system if this check fails. In this case, please contact your credit card company.
Reservation of a vehicle is not possible?
Before you start, we reserve the expected invoice amount plus a security deposit on your credit card. This request is made for each booking made. If you use the minute rate, the amount is up to €25. If you use a package, the amount is the applicable price for the selected package, which is shown to you in the app at the time of booking. A rental is only possible if the amount has been approved. If it is not possible to block the security amount on your credit card, the credit card will be rejected by our system. In such cases, please contact your credit card company.
I can't add my credit card. Why is that?
If you add a credit card, we will verify it and reserve a security deposit of € 0.01. This provides mutual security for both parties. The credit card will be saved once the requested security amount has been confirmed. If you receive an error message, that amount cannot be blocked, we kindly ask you to reach out to your credit card company.
How do I pay with PayPal?
Select PayPal as a payment method if you wish to pay with PayPal. To register the payment method, you will be directed to the PayPal website where you can log into your PayPal account. In case you don't have a PayPal account, you can register a new account directly with PayPal. If you want to use a SIXT share vehicle, you need to consent to a billing agreement that allows Sixt to charge your PayPal account for any amounts due to Sixt. Before starting your trip, a specific amount is authorized following our Terms and Conditions. As soon as the total amount due is determined, Sixt charges your PayPal account with the total amount due. If the authorization fails, you will have to select a different payment method.
Which bank debit cards are accepted?
You can use all standard German and Dutch bank debit cards as means of payment. Please note, that direct debit (SEPA) is only accepted for SIXT share within your home country. Should you like to use SIXT share in other countries, you will need to provide a valid credit card.
What payment methods are there?
You can pay by credit card (VISA, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, JCB), by direct debit (SEPA) or via PayPal.
What is PSD2?
The PSD2 (Payment Services Directive 2) is an EU directive for the regulation of payment services and payment service providers. PSD2 simply explained: As of 14.09.2019, a two-stage verification process helps the customer with secure payment on the Internet. A single password will no longer be sufficient. Recently, you have required two or more factors from different categories for payment or other "activities with a risk of fraud". For example, a combination of password and fingerprint is possible, or a PIN that is linked to a smartphone. But PIN and TAN are also a valid combination. In the payment process on our website or in the SIXT app, from 14.09.2019 on, it may happen that a further step is added in which the bank secures your identity. Verification is simply integrated into the payment process.
You`ll find more information about PSD2 here.
