Late return charges
Hi all,
Any idea how Sixt handles late returns? I can't find anything in the rental agreement before I click purchase.
I need to rent for 4 days and 2-3 hours from Stuttgart - 4 days is 160 euro, if I select 4 days and 3 hours the cost is over 300 euro.
Annoyingly, my flight arrives at 11am but doesn't depart until 5pm on the day of departure so unless I want to spend a lot of time sightseeing at the airport I'm stuck in the irritating position of needing a few extra hours.
If I book for 4 days and return 2-3 hours late what is the typical penalty for this?
If it's going to be a full day charge is that a day at the original daily rate or the daily rate that would apply had I booked it as a 5 day rental?

Hi Foxtbh,
We offer a 58 minute grace period with regard to returning the vehicle. Any time over this will result in the charge for an additional day.
I hope this helps to solve your query.
Many thanks, Jess.

Hi Foxtbh,
It'd be charged at the same daily rate as your contract; just like an extension.
I hope this helps.
Thanks, Jess.
