Dear Sixt,

Happy New Year!

On 7th Feb, I and my wife marta will be landed on frankfurt airport to visit my lovely wife's mom and will travel with her health curing. probably this travel we will drive with snowy road to go/stay with Warm hot springs in switzerland because i would like to try to cure mom's health conditions.

Every Mom is getting older and older : - (... sad!

My Problem is i don't know which car i will be received from the Frankfurt six office. i booked small-size car for my wife who will be main driver in the narrow roads in Europe. also i have to do some business meetings in sttugart,Munich on the beginning of the trip.

Actually for in case, i wanted to rent 4x4 SUV for snowy road trip,but my wife is not familiar with SUV drive, she used to drive Automatic Sedan only.

we used to drive mercedes in our country, if possible can we drive 4x4 AWD sedan mercedes?
or do we need upgrade S-class 4-matic class???

- At least we would like to avoid drive BMW 3-models. this one has wooden seat so Mom can not be comfort to stay back seat for all the trip.

Do I have to call sixth office in advance or need ask on the arrival?
I have no idea, just hope no big snow on the trip.

Thanks

Warm Regards from Sunny Maldives

Hello!
Did Sixt recently stop accepting VISA as payment?
I have a prepaid rental coming up in March at LAX.
Tried to make another prepaid rental in June at MIA but now my card is not accepted. Same card used in booking and paying the first rental.

What worries me is that when I go to pick up my rental car in LAX,Sixt will want to reserve an amount on my card. And if they dont accept my card...then they wont give me a car, I guess, even thou its prepaid.

Can someone from Sixt please contact me?

Sixt will put a hold on your card regardless of whether the reservation is prepaid or not. Holds can be quite hefty for higher end cars so beware that you need to have available credit line.

Additional question that has just come up. I originally had a 47 day rental until I found out you lose CDW coverage on rentals over 30 days. SO I have a great price on a MB CLA for 30 days but the price for the next 17 days is MORE than the first 30 days :( If I book s second 30 days it is cheaper than 17 days. If I book the second month and return in 17 days, will they charge me the difference??

Hey guys hoping this simple question can be answered.

I have platinum with Sixt (literally just did a status match) which entitles me to a double upgrade in the USA.
If I'm aiming to receive a SUV/XFAR, can I go ahead a book a SUV/PFAR?

I'm selecting the "pay later" option, not "pay now". What if the flight is delayed and I'm not there to pickup the car at the estimated time?

Lastly, the quoted price is marked as "* Prices exclusive statutory taxes ". Is there a way to find out ahead of time what these taxes are?

Thanks,
