Sixt gave me a car with existing scratches, how can I prove I’m not responsible later?

When Sixt hands you the keys, always walk around the vehicle and record clear photos and videos of all sides, focusing on scratches, dents, and wheels.

Make sure the rental agreement or condition report notes every visible defect before you leave the lot.

If something is missing from the paperwork, ask a Sixt agent to update it and get their initials or signature.

Keep your timestamped photos and the signed agreement—these are your best proof if Sixt later claims damage against you.
