Diamond
I have gotten an email, after requesting the mentioned status.
It said, that Diamond is only handed out for HON members / Amex Cent and by personal invitation of Mrs. Sixt and / or Mr. Sixt themselves. I guess there will be a diference in program rules for Airline / Amex customers and personal invitees.
They also said, they will not bend these rules ever, as to not disapoint the contractual partners.

The card is only given by status, nothing to do with rentals...
its for executives and board members and so on. (people who really care about the extra 5%
)but by taking off the platinum from the website, maybe the plat gets more exclusive again in the future

Service is only outstanding. In MUC they have the separate diamond lounge. If you request it (at any station), you don't have to go and get the car yourself. They bring it to you.
And: Double miles.
(You don't seem to know many of these people. They do care about the 5%...at least a lot of them)

The only advice I can give you is to become a LH HON. In this case you can have one card for you and one for your partner. Sixt really succeeded in keeping this status exclusive over the last 2.5 years and I hope it will stay there for the foreseeable future.

Take the stairs up a few steps from the Sixt counters.
Nothing special inside. I think there is a coffee machine in the corner, but not sure. The agent accompanies you out the back door directly to your car in a special parking lot. That's it.

Platinum is a little cheaper
its very easy in Germany:
normal station: sixt platin
airport/trainstation with service fee: happydigits, if available.
the reason whay hd is cheaper at airports is, that the service fee is calculated on the hd price whereas the service fee of the platin price is calculated on the nondiscounted price.
example: price of platin 65e. that means original price is 100. then the service fee is calculated on the 100 and not on the 65, therefore 19 (as it is 19% in Germany)
Sixt is receiving complaints everyday for that (even from me a couple of times), but they dont change this silly system.

1. Platinum is a little cheaper ... and I may get an upgrade.
2. On both bookings (Platinum & Happydigits) Sixt charges about 19% Servicegebühr from the Basismietpreis.
