If so, is there a special procedure to follow when doing so? Or would it be possible to contact you/your colleagues directly a few days in advance to make the arrangements?

I signed up for Sixt Gold but I think I may qualify for Platinum status based before the trip begins. Is it possible to upgrade my status before travel, to take advantage of Platinum benefits?

I'm sure more questions will come up as the departure gets closer. Just looking for some initial information. Thank you!
