Thanks for sharing LondonElite.

Okey, will email them to ask how much incidentals they will be blocking on my card.

I ask because I use my corporate card for car rentals/hotels and they are really really fussy about what we use it for and allocate a minimum amount for travels only so worried it may not be enough if the incidentals are like 500 euro or something big like that for a 1 or 2 day use.

Any thoughts on Sixt Plat vs Hertiz Presidents in Europe as well at the same price?

Thank You!
yes, generally they do for a year... at least as much as they do (not) with the non-matched platinum.

Hi All,

I have the diamond status (I got it several years ago as top tiers fréquent flyer) and I have not rented through Sixt for a while ( I used to rent a lot with them in the past). I need to rent through them in August so I was basically wondering if I Could still enjoy the perks (especially the upgrades one ).

Thanks for your answers.

If you still have diamond status then yes, if not, no.

I really have no idea what to do. I can't get a discounted rate and wonder if it is safe to just fly into Stuttgart airport and to go to the Sixth desk to rent a ford focus or something reasonably priced. Or is that not a good idea as they could be sold out of cars?

Any advice?

They'll always have a car. Just don't expect it to be cheap!

Hi,

I booked through Expedia for a car in Valencia.

I selected an automatic car, but Expedia does not give me the car category (the four letters everyone mentions).
Do you know if there is a way to get it? (I am not able to see my booking on Sixt website, I do only have expedia booking confirmation page)

I suspect the code is CDAR (~Citroën C4 Cactus automatic).
Do you now what are the usual cars you can get with this category at Valencia?

Thanks
Regards

Sixth appeared to have a whole variety of Mercedes sports cars available which was fantastic but I ended up going with Hertz for airline mileage though it was at the end of a 1 day rental very espensive for a small car.

Will try Sixth in the future and drop Hertz.

Sixt (no 'h') is usually the best choice in Germany for car quality.

And based upon reading hundreds of posts on FlyerTalk, in this thread and other, the most likely to impose bogus charges.

No, that is not true.
