Sixt ride is a chauffeur-driven ride-hailing service run by Sixt SE, the German car-rental company. Launched in 2017 as MyDriver and rebranded to Sixt ride in 2019, it offers fixed-price pre-booked rides in premium vehicles across 17 countries.

How is Sixt ride different from Uber or Bolt?

Sixt ride is chauffeur-style — professional drivers, premium vehicles (Mercedes E-Class / V-Class), and fixed prices quoted before you book. Uber and Bolt are marketplace models with dynamic pricing and everyday vehicles. Sixt ride is typically more expensive but the fare never surges.

Where is Sixt ride available?

Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, the Benelux countries, Spain, Italy, the UK, Ireland, the Nordics, the US, and the UAE. Availability varies city-by-city — Payfair checks real-time availability on each compare.

Is Sixt ride cheaper than Uber?

Rarely. Sixt ride is a premium chauffeur service — expect fares 50-150% above Uber Standard on the same route. Payfair shows both in real time so you can decide whether the premium is worth it for that specific ride.

Does Sixt ride require an account?

Yes. Sixt ride is tied to a Sixt customer account (same account used for rentals). Unlike Uber or Bolt which auto-register on first use, Sixt requires you to register in the Sixt app before you can book.

Can I pay cash with Sixt ride?

No. Payment is card, PayPal, or in-app wallet only. Cash is not supported.
