With a rented carsharing car, you may also park outside the business area. Outside the business areas and in car parks, you must comply with the same regulations as with your private vehicle and pay the charges yourself. Please note that the rental fee for the car continues to run and the corresponding costs are incurred.
FAQ
SIXT Share
SIXT share, Free2move and MILES cars do not currently have child seats or booster seats.
Unfortunately, we are not yet able to offer you a refueling or recharging function within the app.
Refueling
If you urgently need fuel for your car, e.g. to get back to the business area, the fuel costs have to be paid privately. After the trip, send the receipts to sixtshare-hvv@sixt.com with the booking number, license plate number and bank account details. After successful verification, the fuel costs will be reimbursed by SIXT share.
Important for you to know: Refueling as well as charging is not incentivized with hvv switch by e.g. free minutes or similar.
Charging
You can charge the SIXT share cars with the charging card in the car or the chip on your key ring. How exactly this works, you can find out here.
To use car sharing services, you must be in possession of valid ID and driving license documents and validate them in the app. If the driving license you have on file expires, we will inform you by e-mail in good time so that you can take care of issuing and depositing a new driving license.
There might be several reasons why certain information is not displayed. It could be that there are no cars in your area at that particular time. Or that your Internet connection is not stable enough to load cars. If you think it is due to a technical error, please contact hvv switch customer service.
While some services that you can purchase in the hvv switch app are debited from your PayPal account straight away (like hvv tickets, for example), in the case of other services an amount is authorised with PayPal at the moment of the binding booking. In the case of MOIA, this is the fare, which you are shown before the journey begins. In the case of sharing services, this is an amount that is charged at the actual end price after the rental has ended. For technical reasons, it might be the case that after cancelling a booking for free the reserved amount will remain in your PayPal account for some time, even though no costs have been incurred. This authorisation will be deleted again without a debit being made, after a period of 28 days at the latest.
If a car is not locking properly, this might be due to several different reasons. Please contact the customer service of the carsharing provider and they will be glad to assist you further.
Please contact hvv switch customer service.
Once in the Car Return area of the SIXT station, please take the car key out of the glove compartment, end the rental as usual using the app and then lock the car afterwards using the car key. Please return the car key to the key safe or hand it in at the SIXT counter.
SIXT stations are not marked separately on the map in the hvv switch app. Please therefore make sure you know the address of the station you want to return the vehicle to before you start your journey if you want to end the rental at a SIXT station. When you arrive at a particular station you can then follow the Car Return signs.
Please note that if you drop off your car at a SIXT station, you will be charged an additional fee by SIXT share. The rates for this can be found in the SIXT share rate overview. Please also be aware that not all SIXT share rates are valid when using hvv switch.
