SIXT share
SIXT share is our first car sharing partner in the hvv switch app. The service allows you to rent a car near you at any time – either for just a few minutes or up to a maximum of 27 days.
The rental costs are calculated dynamically per minute. The current price per minute depends on the vehicle category, the rental period and, if the kilometre limit is exceeded, the distance that you travelled.
Additional charges may apply for rentals and returns at certain locations (e.g. airports or SIXT stations). You can find out more about SIXT share here.
