When renting a car from Sixt, the question of the right insurance coverage always arises. Comprehensive coverage, in particular, often raises questions. What exactly does Sixt’s full coverage insurance cover, and when is it worth purchasing?
Sixt Full Coverage: Comprehensive Protection for Your Rental Car
Sixt’s full coverage insurance offers you extensive protection against damage to the rental car. Unlike basic liability insurance, which only covers damages you cause to other road users, full coverage also steps in for accidents you cause yourself.

What Does Sixt Full Coverage Include?
Sixt’s full coverage insurance covers a variety of damages, including:
- Accident Damage: Damage to the rental car caused by an accident you are responsible for.
- Vandalism: Damage caused by intentional destruction or damage to the rental car.
- Glass Breakage: Damage to the windshield, side windows, or rear window.
- Natural Hazard Damage: Damage caused by natural events such as storms, hail, lightning, or floods.
- Theft: Theft of the rental car or parts of the vehicle.
Is Sixt Full Coverage Worth It?
Whether full coverage is worthwhile for you depends on various factors, such as:
- Value of the Rental Car: The more expensive the rental car, the higher the potential repair costs in the event of damage.
- Personal Risk Tolerance: Are you willing to bear the costs yourself in the event of damage, or do you prefer comprehensive insurance protection?
- Rental Duration: The longer the rental period, the higher the risk of damage.
In general, Sixt full coverage is particularly useful if you are renting a high-value vehicle and want to minimize financial risk.
