I am new to the forums so please forgive any mistakes.

Last year we had a terrific experience with Sixt. We rented an X3 through the holiday cars for about $1,000. This program included the LDW. Great customer service & perfect vehicle. Everyone was very friendly & we had absolutely no complaints.

This year, we have four people, a need for extra space & all-wheel drive. It would be tight in an X3, so we tried an X5. We cannot get the holiday cars website to work. We always get the same response- There is no rate sheet available for this period. Sixt customer service can't get it to work either.

Even with a destination coupons discount, Sixt pricing is almost 1.5 times as much for the X3 this year at $2,150!!!!! (this does include all the coverage available, winter tires & four more days) This is about $55 a day MORE for the same vehicle.

Pricing for the X5 is right at $3,000!!! That's over $230.00 a day. Of course, the exchange rate is LOWER this year by .25/dollar, which means they're charging much more.

We really want to be repeat customers, but with prices this high, it's beyond reality. Has anyone had any luck with the Holiday Car program this year?
