If Sixt charged a deposit fee and hasn't returned it, read your rental agreement to see how refunds work.
Sixt usually returns deposits after sending the final bill when the car is returned, but processing times may be different based on where you are and how you pay.
Contact Sixt customer service at +1 (888) 749-8555 in the U.S. or +44 (0) 1246 506264 in the U.K. For other regions, visit Sixt’s official website for local contact details.
You can also send an email to [email protected]. Give all the proof you've gathered and a full account of why you think the charge is wrong with your rental agreement number, return date, and any other necessary paperwork if the due date has passed.
If you think you can propose better solutions to the question presented, we encourage you to offer your opinions or submit your complaints free of charge.
