A SIXT ride airport transfer gets you to or from the airport on time — connect your flight number during booking and your driver will track your flight and adjust the pickup time automatically.
How it works
What's included when you connect your flight number
Traveling with passengers on different flights
If your group arrives on separate flights, book a separate transfer for each flight. That way every flight is tracked individually and every pickup stays on time, regardless of delays or early arrivals.
Example
Your flight lands at 3:00 PM and you want 1 hour and 30 minutes at the airport before your pickup. Enter your flight number during booking and your driver will be ready at 4:30 PM — or later if your flight is delayed.

Yes, SIXT ride can track your private flight — just provide your aircraft's tail number at booking and make sure your flight is traceable via FlightAware.
What to do when booking
Why the tail number matters
The tail number qualifies your booking as an airport pickup. Your driver can then monitor your actual landing time and adjust the pickup accordingly. You'll also receive additional free waiting time under our booking conditions.
Good to know
Additional charges may apply if your actual landing time differs significantly from the expected arrival time.

Buffer time lets you add up to 2 extra hours to your SIXT ride airport transfer, so your driver waits for you after your flight lands — even if you need time to clear customs, collect your luggage, or take a moment to get your bearings.
How it works
When booking your airport transfer, select a buffer duration of up to 2 hours. Your driver calculates the pickup time from your actual landing time plus the buffer you chose. If your flight is delayed, the pickup adjusts automatically.
Example
Your flight lands at 3:00 PM and you select a 1-hour 30-minute buffer. Your driver will be waiting at 4:30 PM. If the flight is delayed by 20 minutes, the pickup moves to 4:50 PM.
Next step
Add your preferred buffer time when booking your airport transfer in the SIXT App or on the website.

Adding your flight number to a SIXT ride booking activates the full airport pickup experience — your driver tracks your actual landing time and meets you in arrivals, so you're never left waiting.
What you get when you add your flight number
Planning to spend extra time at the airport?
If you expect a lengthy customs process or want time at the airport before leaving, enter the duration you plan to stay during booking. This ensures your driver arrives at the right moment and you make the most of your included waiting time.
Please note: If your flight isn't linked to your ride, it won't be treated as an airport pickup, and the services above won't apply.
