What to Do in Case of an Accident or Breakdown
In case of an accident
- Make sure everyone is safe. If anyone is injured or there is any danger, call the emergency number 112 immediately.
- Secure the scene. Turn on the hazard lights and, if possible, move the vehicle out of the way of traffic.
- Call the police (112) if anyone is injured, if the other party will not cooperate, or if you are unsure what to do.
- Document everything. Take photos of the vehicles, the damage and the surroundings, and write down the other party's name, phone number, license plate and insurance company.
- Fill in an accident report together with the other party, if another vehicle is involved.
- Notify SIXT as soon as possible at cs@sixt.is and send us the photos and the accident report – or use the online damage report form.
If the vehicle can't be driven after the accident, contact 24 Road Assistance as described below.
