How to find Sixt at Riga International Airport
Check how pickup works for your Sixt car rental at Riga International Airport. You could grab your wheels on-site at the airport, be met by staff, or hop on a shuttle bus to the rental lot. Start a rental car search and filter by 'Pickup' to discover what collection options you have.
Airport terminal: Pick up your vehicle right where you land. Counters sit inside or next to the arrival terminal, so you can quickly go from baggage claim to the driver's seat.
Free shuttle bus: This collection option comes into play when the supplier is located close to the airport rather than at it. A free bus connects the terminal and the rental site.
Meet and greet: A representative meets you at the terminal not long after you land. They give you the keys and paperwork right there.
Want to start your trip sooner? Some providers offer self-service pickup, so you can collect your keys from a kiosk or lockbox and skip the rental counter.
Sixt car rental at Riga International Airport: What you need to know
Transmission: Choose between 'Automatic' (no need to change gears yourself) and 'Manual' (stick shift). Most rental companies include both, so use the 'Transmission' filter to narrow down your options.
Fuel policy: Go for a 'Fair fuel policy' to keep things simple. You drive away with a full tank and bring it back full, which means you're only paying for the fuel you use.
Mileage limits: Select 'Unlimited mileage' under the 'Policies' filter to roam wherever the road takes you without added mileage charges.
Side of the road: Traffic in Latvia sticks to the right side of the road.
Speed limits: Stay within local speed limits of about 45kph through urban areas and around 100kph on highways. Always check the posted signs, as limits may vary.
Required documents: As a general rule, bring your physical driver's licence and another form of photo ID when collecting your Sixt car rental. Your booking confirmation will spell it all out.
Deposits and credit card: Providers usually place a pre-authorised hold on a credit card for the security deposit. Debit cards are generally not accepted at pickup, so it's best to carry a credit card.
Insurance: Adding excess insurance may protect you in case of theft or a collision. Policies can vary, so compare your options before you book.
Add ons: GPS units, child seats and additional drivers can all be added while booking your Sixt car rental. Sort these ahead of time for a smoother pickup.
