At SANI SIXT, the deposit required depends on the vehicle category selected, your chosen waiver/cover level, and whether you qualify for special promotions like Zero Holding Deposit.

Standard Security Deposit Amounts

  • Compact & Economy Vehicles: Typically R2,500 – R5,000 hold on your credit card.
  • SUVs & People Carriers: Typically R5,000 – R10,000 hold.
  • Premium & Luxury Fleet: R10,000 – R20,000 depending on vehicle value and waiver selection.

Zero Holding Deposit Option

SANI SIXT offers Zero Holding Deposit on eligible bookings with Super Cover! Because trust goes both ways, qualifying renters can enjoy peace of mind with no funds locked up on their credit card.

Payment Method

Security deposits must be held on a valid Visa or Mastercard credit card in the main driver's name. Debit cards are accepted for rental payments under specific verified rental conditions.
