This is a more or less exhaustive list of CPMR for Sixt in Germany:

Audi A3 1.4 TFSI
Audi A3 1.6 TDI
Audi A3 2.0 TDI (teilweise mit Quattro) - [Some Quattro equipped]
BMW 114i
BMW 114d
BMW 116i
BMW 116d
BMW 118i
BMW 118d
BMW 118d x-Drive
BMW 120d
BMW 120d x-Drive
Mercedes-Benz A180
Mercedes-Benz A180 CDI
Mercedes-Benz A200
Mercedes-Benz A200 CDI
VW Golf GTI
VW Golf GTD

It's not really possible to be specific for any location in Germany as the cars move around the country a lot and there are always some being retired and new ones added. That list may not be completely accurate, as the fleet changes frequently. For example, I don't think there are any Golf GTI/GTD in the fleet right now.

Basically, you're more or less certain to have some sort of A3 / 1 Series or A-Class. ;)

Iceland KEF/Reykjavik
 
A few questions:

1.) Is the return area of KEF near the terminal, or need to walk some distance?

2.) What are the possibilities for classes EDAN (apart from Polo), CLAR (apart from Golf), IDAR (apart from Cruze) & IWAR (ditto)?

3.) Fleet age, on avg how old are the cars?

TIA

Hi senna60_94,

The Sixt office at Keflavik Airport is located in the next building to the airport. Shuttle service is free of charge and all customers are picked-up, given they have provided the correct flight information. Please look for a sign with your name on it or give us a call on +354-5402221 and we will be right over to pick you up or drop you off again upon your return.

I have contacted my colleagues in Keflavik to request further information regarding the current fleet, and I will update you as soon as I have the relevant details.

If you require any further information in the meantime, please feel free to contact me directly.

Many thanks,

Gary Caudwell.

I'm curious what the underage driver surcharge (I'm 23) would be at SEA on a CLA250?

SixtCustomerServices May 21, 2014 9:48 am

hi mittencuh,

Please could you clarify which location you are looking to hire from, and I will be happy to look into this for you.

Many thanks,

Gary Caudwell.

The minimum age for PCAR at SEA is 25 years of age. In my experience, Sixt is strict about this as I had a LCAR reserved at ATL two years ago, was less than a month away from turning 25, and was denied the rental by the system.

senna60_94 May 22, 2014 12:59 am

Thx, pls also ask them what are the possibilities for FFAR apart from Chevy Captiva.

That is the highest group you may reserve at your age, however, that does not necessarily mean you cannot end up in something from a higher class.

You may be very lucky and get a free upgrade to something bigger, or alternatively, and more likely, you may be able to take a Choice-Upgrade and pay a reduced fee to move to a higher class.

Neither of these two things is guaranteed however. You never know though ;)


Is there any chance of making a reservation for a, lets say, AUDI A4 (or similar)? I can't take a chance of getting stuck with an A3 or something in that size catagory.
I simply need a bigger car, and I can afford the price if there was an option for that.

Hi senna60_94,

Further to my initial reply, I have received details of the current fleet in Keflavik Airport, and I have been informed that they currently only have one vehicle in each category (the example vehicle that is shown online).

I hope this information helps. If you require any further assistance, please feel free to contact me directly.

Many thanks,

Gary Caudwell.

Hi patchan8984,

You can register for a Sixt Express Card by clicking the following link and completing the form:

https://www.sixt.com/php/cards/

You do not need to wait for the card to arrive. Once you have received the email confirmation, simply email the Express Card number provided along with a copy of your Platinum card (for security I recommend you obscure the 16 digit card number when doing this) to [email protected] and I will match the status of your Sixt card to that of your American Express card.

In the meantime, if you require any further information, please feel free to ask.

Many thanks,

Gary Caudwell



I have just sent you a photo of my Amex Platinum card along with my Sixt Express number. Unfortunately I only discovered this thread now on a Saturday morning, and I will be flying to Las Vegas and renting a car on Wednesday night. Can Gary (or anyone else) tell me how long it will be before I can access the benefit/discount associated with upgraded status?

Thanks for your presence in this forum.

senna60_94 May 24, 2014 4:15 am

Thx, so that means if I book CLAR then I'll be pretty much guaranteed to get a Golf? Also any info on the avg age of the fleet?

Hi Gary, it would be at SEA, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in September. It sounds like online there would be a $49 fee for a week-long rental, but I'm not sure. Thanks!

Again, being 23 and with SEA being a corporate location, you will not be allowed to rent PCAR.

Hi Sixt folks - I have applied the Sixt membership recently, how can I match a higher tier of your membership? Right now, I'm holding the HHonor Diamond status. Thanks.

I understand and saw the chart, but even with my account with my age it lets me go through the reservation and simply notes I may be subject to an underage charge. Guess I'll stick with Avis and my company AWD which allows me to rent whatever I would like.
