**Before pickup:** check in online · decide whether to add protection, toll pass, or additional drivers. Additional drivers must present a valid physical license. Drivers with a non-US license must also bring a physical passport or other valid ID.

**Latest status (2026-09-20):** MS moved the pickup to 14:00 PDT and the booked return to 2026-10-05 13:30 PDT after UA1333's delay. SIXT previously confirmed the renter's license is verified; vehicle selection opens one hour before pickup and remains pending. See [the earlier status email](../../sources/transport/2026-09-20_SIXT_Checkin_Status.md).

**Return note:** The booking was kept through 2026-10-05 because the quoted price was the same. SIXT permits early returns and says the rental will be adjusted to the actual duration. Update the return time in the SIXT account before returning the car.
