The key difference is that, for some reason, Sixt seems to prefer to pay to reallocate cars itself, rather than lowering one-way rates, to incentivize customers to do it. There are some cases where Sixt one-ways are competitive, especially when they open a new station, but rarely.

During the summer season it is very common to find a lot of Sixt premium vehicles in European countries such as France and Italy all have German registrations. I suppose they truck them there at the start of summer.

How do you folks track which status you have? There is no page to view this imo in Sixt. I have Platinum (through Amex), but don't see anything. And definitely have not received any Platinum benefits (such as an upgrade) before :D

It looks like you need to join their new program, Sixt One. The link just showed up on my app. After joining, it says I'm Gold.

Sorry mods for doing a bit of "offtopic" chatting here. I opened the app, I see Sixt One and "Platinum" written under it, but upon clicking I get "Sixt One is coming soon". I guess I'll have to wait until it's live in my region (Finland). Thanks for the help!

Status: Platinum
Location: LAX
Reserved: BMW X5 or similar
Received: Mercedes GLE -------> Swapped for BMW X7 next day

Landed around midnight, had a delayed flight no choice in other cars, next morning noticed car has a windshield crack on passenger side windshield, reached out to CS had LDW -- set up swap at location, did not have comparable class wanted to upgrade me to X7 with choice charge of 25$ a day, stood my ground and ended up getting X7 without choice charge for 1 week for only 400$ (this is accounting for AMEX target offer of $100 off with $500 or more purchase at SIXT)

April 22 Alicante (ALC)
Platinum
ZERO upgrade offered at the counter or app. I rented Opal Outlander that is what I got, mind you there were 25 BMW Estates, SUVs sitting around,

My gut told me to with National and I should have

I have a rental at EWR for the long weekend. I am a Hertz President's Circle member, but I have never used Sixt. Which company offers a better selection+CS? I will be driving through multiple states over five days, and the prices for Hertz and Sixt are similar. I have read that Sixt provides customer service that is on par with, or worse than, Hertz. Is that true? I can status match with Hertz, but I also want to add another driver and Ill be booking via priceline (as rates are better in sixt).

Sixt generally has a nicer fleet and they take better care of their cars. You are about equally likely to get cheated on either. Sixt is more responsive to complaints.
