SIXT Car Sales: how to buy a used car in Europe with turnkey delivery
SIXT Car Sales is a used car sales channel connected to the SIXT infrastructure. In Germany it operates as a separate website and company where you can choose a car, reserve it online and then complete the purchase through the seller.
This type of purchase differs from auctions. There are usually no bids and no timer — the price is stated upfront. The point is not to "win a lot" but to properly verify the car and documents, then arrange export.
What is sold through SIXT Car Sales
According to the website, the main pool consists of vehicles from the SIXT ecosystem: used cars, one-year-old vehicles, leasing returns and former rental cars, plus occasionally other categories (such as demonstration vehicles or offerings outside the rental segment).
This is normal for the European market: such cars often have clear provenance (fleet, contract, return), but this doesn't eliminate the need for a mandatory condition check. A rental history is neither inherently "bad" nor "good" — it's simply a fact to consider during inspection.
How purchasing works at SIXT Car Sales
SIXT Car Sales has several clear features that matter to buyers:
Separately, the homepage features a warning about fake "promotions" and counterfeit websites impersonating SIXT Car Sales. A useful reminder: always verify the domain and don't follow "super discount" links from messengers.
- Online reservation — The website states that a car can be reserved free of charge and without obligation for several days, giving you time to view the car and book a test drive.
- Return policy for private buyers — The website describes a 7-day money-back guarantee subject to conditions (including restrictions, and it does not apply to commercial customers).
- Additional services — There are financing/leasing offers, help with registration in Germany and delivery within Germany (relevant if the purchase and use are planned within the country).
How to buy a car from SIXT Car Sales with delivery to the CIS
If you're buying for export from Europe, the process is usually as follows:
Regarding VAT, it's best not to promise a universal scenario. The simple rule: the tax regime depends on who is selling, who is buying and how the export outside the EU is confirmed. In the deal, this is resolved through documents and a correct processing scheme.
Car selection and initial verification
Specifications, mileage, service history (what the seller has), condition based on photos and description.
On-site inspection
Body check, diagnostics, document and VIN verification on the vehicle.
Deal processing
Contract, invoice, payment through a clear scheme.
Export
Collection from the seller, intra-European delivery to warehouse/border/port, then routing to the destination country.
Export and customs documents
The document package depends on the country of purchase and the destination country.
SIXT+ vs buying a car: what's the difference
People sometimes confuse buying a car with the SIXT+ subscription. SIXT+ is a car subscription: a fixed monthly payment, flexible terms, the ability to change vehicles within the service rules.
This is convenient for those living in Europe who want to drive without buying, but it's not a tool for importing to the CIS because with the subscription you don't become the vehicle owner.
