How are SIXT ride prices calculated?

Payment and Pricing

Discover how ride fares are calculated and what factors can affect the final price.

SIXT ride prices depend on the type of ride and service class you choose — taxi and on-demand rides use a taximeter, while transfers and hourly rides are charged at fixed rates.

Taxi and on-demand rides

These rides are priced by taximeter. You'll see an estimated fare during booking, and the final fare is calculated from the actual route and shown at the end of the ride. No additional payment to the driver is required.

Transfers and limousine services

Pre-booked rides in the RIDE, BUSINESS, FIRST, GREEN, and XL classes are charged at fixed rates that include local taxes. Prices reflect the service level you select and may vary by demand, time, and location. Additional fees can apply for:

  • Route changes during the ride
  • Extra waiting time
  • Additional mileage beyond the agreed route

Hourly rides

A fixed hourly rate applies, which includes 30 km / 20 miles of free mileage per hour. Exceeding that allowance will incur additional charges.
