Our Sixt Rental Car Review
We booked a regular economy car from Sixt on a trip to France and had a smooth checkout process on their site. At the Sixt office in Paris, the staff were friendly and immediately helped with the rental. We’d wanted to return the car to a different airport in Paris, which we expected to be an expensive hassle — instead they set it up for free, no fuss. The car itself was clean, well-maintained, and gave us zero issues over about a week of driving. Drop-off was just as easy as pickup.
We’ve historically leaned toward Turo for car rentals, but Sixt is a legitimate alternative worth considering, especially for travel in Europe where Sixt has deep roots (it’s a German company, founded in 1912).
As of last check, Sixt’s own site doesn’t advertise a single reusable “discount code” — its main savings program is SIXT ONE, a free membership that unlocks member-only rates and up to 20% off, plus priority service. Beyond that, Sixt runs rotating promotional categories directly on its site, including:
- Up to 20% off through free SIXT ONE membership
- Up to 15% off “start your week” rentals
- Up to 20% off luxury vehicle bookings
- SIXT+ car subscriptions from around $679/month, and daily rentals advertised from around $35/day, for business travel
Our original tracked Sixt affiliate links — the general US offer, the UK-specific offer, and the student-specific offer — all still resolve correctly through to sixt.com, so Sixt’s Rakuten affiliate program is still active. That said, all three links currently land on the same general Sixt homepage rather than distinct discount landing pages — which tells us Sixt has likely consolidated what used to be separate promotions into general affiliate tracking, rather than maintaining three distinct standing discounts.
What About the Sixt Student Discount and UK Discount?
Honestly: we can’t currently confirm either one. This post originally advertised a 5% student discount and a separate 5% UK discount, each through its own tracked link. Checking Sixt’s live site today, we don’t see a dedicated student-discount page or program advertised — the current savings structure is built around SIXT ONE membership and the rotating deals above instead. If you’re a student, it’s worth asking Sixt directly or checking for a current student offer at booking, but we’re not going to promise a specific student percentage we can’t verify. Same goes for the old UK-specific 5% — treat it as historical rather than a live standing offer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Sixt a legitimate, active rental company?
Yes. Sixt is a German company founded in 1912 that’s actively expanding in the US, with a well-maintained app and website. It’s a real, growing competitor to Hertz, Avis, and Enterprise.
Is there still a Sixt student discount?
We couldn’t confirm one on Sixt’s current site. The old tracked student-discount link still works, but it now routes to the same general homepage as every other offer, with no distinct student program visible. Ask Sixt directly if this matters for your booking.
What’s the best way to save on a Sixt rental right now?
Join SIXT ONE — it’s free and unlocks member rates plus up to 20% off. Beyond that, watch for Sixt’s rotating deals on week-start rentals and luxury vehicles, both advertised at up to 15-20% off as of last check.
Do these links still earn couponsuck a commission?
Yes — our original Rakuten-tracked Sixt links still resolve correctly to sixt.com with tracking intact, so they should still work as affiliate links.
