Got 2 rentals coming up from Budapest.One for a van and the other a car.
Does anybody know if these will come with the e-vignette?

I've rented Sixt/MCO twice, and experiences were good. Be careful of the pickup location, as of last January (my last rental there) they were still texting out the wrong pickup area. Staff was good, no problem getting my platinum upgrades, and while the cars aren't perfect (typical dings to doors etc.) they've been in good running condition.
I'm planning on doing a lot of driving, and some of the horror stories I've read review wise only makes me wish I just stuck with alamo in the first place.

Sixt MAN Airport
Hi Gary,
Would you be able to tell me what the actual Fleet the Manchester Airport Branch has in the FDAR catagory, if i was to book for 2 weeks rental in August.
Im Just interested what kind of models they currently have on Fleet there in that category....

When will the premium sedan/Luxury SUV special start for End of July rental? 
Looks like all current specials only runs until June 30th rental which is only about a week left.

Hi Gary. Is Amex Premium Car Rental actually unknown to Sixt? I have used it for more than ten years with Hertz, Alamo, Enterprise and Avis. Mostly the first two. In all that time I have never had it questioned, much less rejected. What should I have done differently?

I am renting a premium car at Orly in Paris next week and returning it later to NUE in Germany. When I prepaid the car with my Amex Platinum card I read about the security deposit which could be 3 times as much as the rental. That is quite a deposit, but my question is what determines if you get nailed for 3 times the value of the rental or you luck out and get something less?

I have a quick question I was trying to book using my Amex coupon code, but I came across this and is not making much sense to me:
Vehicle Subtotal:US$ 203.25
Taxes:US$ 18.29
Total price incl. taxes:US$ 221.54
Coupons: - US$ 44.31
Total: US$ 177.23 **
US$ 203.25**Actual amount payable
So, if total price including taxes is $221.54, and total US$ after discount is $177.23, why is Actual amount payable $25 more? Where did $25 come from?
In another words, when is "total" not a "total"?

When I signed up for Sixt I got an email saying I'd need to show my documents at a Sixt location to complete registration. The on-line system claimed it accepted Hertz Gold president's circle but wouldn't register it either. When I turned up at Sixt at Edinburgh airpoty (EDI/EGPH) the staff claimed to know nothing about any of this. Probably the worst experience I have ever had with a car rental company outside of picking up a "free" fly-drive car at Orlando around 1995 (fortunately I was expecting the bait and switch and had mad other plans).
I note a lot of questions here and precious few answers. My opinion of Sixt is going from bad to worse. Very flashy but actually all about deceptive practices. Unless maybe you can nail them to the wall?

What no Sixt any more? I guess I will check back from time to time, just to see if anything happens. But the lack of response is pretty damning from my perspective.

What are the fleet options for LDAR & PDMR at Berlin Tegel with drop off at Frankfurt Airport? With pickup & return from Frankfurt Airport?
Thanks! Fantastic service you're offering.
