Sixt Rent a Car Kuwait

Car Hire Requirements in Kuwait

• Minimum Age

  In most countries, the minimum age required to hire a vehicle is 25.

• Driving Licence

  For bookings with collection outside your country of residence, it is mandatory to present the original physical Driving Licence, valid and within the expiry date, issued in your country of origin.
  Some rental companies and government authorities may require, in addition to the Driving Licence, the International Driving Permit, which is mandatory for: Austria, Bulgaria, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Romania, Switzerland, and Ukraine and strongly recommended for any other country not listed above, especially where the alphabet used is different from the Roman one (for example: Czech Republic, Middle Eastern and Asian countries).
  Obtaining and presenting the International Driving Permit is the sole responsibility of the driver. If the rental company accepts to rent the vehicle without presenting the International Driving Permit, restrictions or additional charges may apply. To ensure a smooth driving experience abroad, it is always recommended to carry a valid Driving Licence and the physical International Driving Permit.

• ID and Passport

  Each driver must present a valid and original photo ID and passport.

• International Credit Card

  The renter must present a valid and personal credit card with enough funds to be held as a security deposit. Third-party credit cards will not be accepted. The car hire company is solely responsible for approving the provided credit card. Online prepayment does not exempt the renter from providing a valid international credit card during vehicle pick-up. The hire company will place a hold in the amount of the required security deposit and, when applicable, any additional local fees not covered in the prepaid voucher will be charged to the card provided at the hire location.

• Prepaid Booking Voucher

  You must present a printout of the Booking Confirmation Voucher at the hire location. This document officially confirms all agreed upon services, payment conditions, rates, discounts, as well as the availability of a vehicle from the selected group.

• Important Information

  Car hire companies reserve the right to refuse service to underage or unlicensed drivers, those with poor credit history, or individuals otherwise considered liabilities by the hire company.
