Many of our branches are equipped to receive after-hours returns by means of a secure key drop-safe and designated parking. Please ensure that you check with your specific SANI SIXT Car Rental return branch to find out if a key drop-safe is provided.
It is important to note the vehicle remains the responsibility of the Renter until both the key and vehicle have been received and inspected by a SANI SIXT Car Rental employee and as such it is important that when returning after-hours;
Renters and additional drivers must be at least 21 years of age and must have held an unendorsed driver’s licence for more than one year to rent or drive a rental car in South Africa.
Renters and additional drivers who are younger than 21 years of age and have held an unendorsed driver’s licence for more than two years will be permitted to rent or drive a rental car subject to a Young Driver Surcharge.
This policy applies to both local renters and foreign nationals with an international driver’s licence.
To rent or drive a vehicle which is designed to carry less than 12 people, a standard Code B or equivalent driver’s licence is required.
Where the rented vehicle is designed to carry 12 or more passengers, including the driver, or has a GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) exceeding 3500kg then a Professional Driving Permit is required.

A sponsored rental is a service offered to South African citizens where the Renter wishes to pay for a rental but will not be a designated driver. Neither the Renter nor the card used for payment need to be present at the time of collection.
Companies registered in the Republic of South Africa may also use the Sponsored Rental process to rent for their staff on behalf of the business.
Please ensure you arrange your Sponsored Rental at least 3 hours in advance of the collection time to avoid disappointment.

When a vehicle is collected for rental, a security deposit or bank authorisation is paid or held to cover charges that may arise during the rental, such as additional kilometres, fuel, additional days, damages and more.
To secure your online reservation with SANI SIXT Car Rental a payment of 25%, 50% or 100% of the rental value is required at the time of booking. The balance of the rental fee along with the prescribed security deposit quoted at the time of booking will be required at the time of collection.
A bank authorisation is a hold on your card to ensure funds for potential charges during your car rental, like rental fees or fuel. It’s not an immediate charge but only reserved. The actual amount, if required, is charged at return, and the hold is released by your bank, typically taking a few days.
