Make your next vacation to France even better with a Sixt rental car.
With everything to do in and around Bordeaux, you'll be wanting to take in more than the block your hotel is on during your visit. Whether you have to check out the bistro that has gotten great reviews across town or see some of the local favorites, you'll want your own car to see as much as possible during your trip. No matter where you end up staying in Bordeaux, if you wish to get the most out of your visit, having your vehicle is key.
Germany did not even have a modern network of roads when Martin Sixt started his companyover a hundred years ago. But with forward thinking, like putting branches at airports, and a priority on offering superior customer service, Sixt has grown into one of the most popular international car rental companies in the world.
We strive to get you the best rates, whether you book. However, booking your car well ahead of your trip can help keep spending low. Be sure to go over the mileage policy and keeping it to one driver will reduce your expense.
Be sure to present your driver's permit and a credit card in your name.
Sixt's minimum age to rent a car in Bordeaux is 18. Take time to check Sixt's policy, as there could be added fees if you are under 25 in most cases or for higher category cars especially.
That depends on your needs and what you'll be doing when you visit Bordeaux. Compact or economy cars are ideal for short commutes and are easier to park. If you are traveling with colleagues or family, then a sedan or SUV will have enough room for all of you and provide a more comfortable ride on longer trips. Those looking for a bit of luxury on their Bordeaux getaway can choose a higher-end car model like a Cadillac or Audi or similar.
You are required to have insurance before you rent a car from Sixt in France. Although many of the major card issuers, like MasterCard or Discover, provide some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For instance, you may not be covered if you book a larger or luxury vehicle. Make sure to check credit card issuer's policy before you decide. Otherwise, as a United States citizen, you can also add on Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout.
Sixt requires a deposit when you book your rental. Sixt will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your rental for your trip. Please note that the deposit can vary greatly based on the model and make of the car.
We advise a full to full policy. You pick up your Sixt rental topped off. But, if you return your rental with less than the amount that you received it with, most companies will charge a premium to top it back off. To avoid any added expenses, it is best to fill up your tank before you bring the car back to Sixt. Stations near or around airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.
Bordeaux certainly has its charms, but you may want to hit the road again after you've checked off all the activities in Bordeaux.
Sixt offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it more convenient to drop off your rental at another Sixt. Don't forget there may be an additional charge when you opt for one-way.
With so much to do and see in Bordeaux, having your own vehicle lets you explore at your own pace. When you are ready to check out more of France, you can drive when you want to, without having to coordinate ride-hailing services or hanging out a stop waiting for the bus.
