1. I Can Add Proper Baby and Toddler Seats in One Click
One of the biggest reasons I book with Sixt is that I can add certified baby and child seats directly during the online booking, instead of juggling separate rentals or bringing our own on the plane. They clearly list options for infant seats up to around 15 months and toddler seats up to about 4 years, so itâs easy to choose something that actually matches my kidsâ ages and sizes.â
2. Their Fleet Works Well for Families (Not Just Tiny City Cars)
In Portugal especially, Sixt has a wide range of cars that make sense for families: roomy hatchbacks, estates, SUVs, and even 7âseaters if youâre traveling with grandparents. Being able to filter for a larger boot and more legroom means Iâm not trying to squeeze a stroller, travel cot, and two car seats into a tiny city runaround.â
3. EasyâtoâFind Locations at Airports and in Cities
With young kids, the last thing I want after a flight is a long transfer just to pick up the rental car. Sixt has counters at the main Portuguese airports and key city locations, so I can usually pick up the car right after baggage claim and get the kids strapped into their seats quickly. That makes the whole arrival day much smoother, especially if weâre landing close to nap or bedtime.â
4. FamilyâFriendly Extras Help Us Travel Lighter
On top of the child seats, Sixt lets you add practical extras like GPS, additional drivers, and different protection packages, which makes roadâtripping with little ones less stressful. I like knowing that I can share the driving with my partner and have navigation sorted, so we can focus on keeping the kids happy rather than arguing over directions.â
5. Flexible Rentals That Fit Real Family Itineraries
Family trips donât always fit neatly into a 7âday package, and Sixtâs flexibility is genuinely useful here. They offer everything from short weekend hires to longâterm rentals, so I can plan a few carâdays for countryside and beach exploring while relying on trains or trams the rest of the time. That mix of flexibility and clear online pricing makes it much easier to design an itinerary that works with naps, early bedtimes, and our overall budget
