Sorry for coming back on this issue.
Just a few days ago, quotes with Sixt in Germany being a status customer (airline pgm, plat., diamond) eventually brought up competitive rates again, after most of these discounts had been missing for months.
Reason enough to shift some business back from Europcar to Sixt!
However, if one quotes the same today, these improvements seem to have gone again.
On top of it all, it does not seem to be possible to quote for any luxury cars (e.g. XDAR) at all. So I actually wonder, whether the roll-out of the new pricing structure/logic has been finalised yet.
Quoting for prices with Sixt over the last 12+ weeks compares to a lottery game, I wonder if this ever has been intended. Currently it's more confusing than the old pricing structures with fixed rates.
