Hello Gary,

Can you tell me if a Visa debit card is accepted at German locations?

I know that both AVIS and Hertz have no "real" problem, but it does state in SIXT's rental rules for Germany, that they do not accept these cards. But when you eventually show up at the desk, often they just take it as payment anyway.

some debit cards work, some don't...

regarding sixt express card: first time the master rental agreement has to be activated. so cannot work directly in the machine.

I dont understand what the point of rushing for a simple express card is.

Hello Gary,

Thanks for taking the time to answer all these questions. I came across this site not too long ago in preparation for my visit to Germany in November and have some questions. I have made a reservation with Sixt (Reservation # 1625351767) and have the following questions:

1) During the process of booking it shows a picture of a BMW 3 series wagon, since the pick up location is near BMW Welt I was wondering if I have a higher chance of actually getting a BMW?
2) Is there anything I can do to request the BMW?
3) I have booked a Sat Nav with the car, does it usually come as an aftermarket component or can I expect the automobile manufacture's original equipment Nav?
4) I also requested a diesel but I just joined the company as a member, I was wondering how likely will I actually get a diesel car?

Thanks!!

1) no
2) write it in the comment field
3) no aftermarket in this class
4) 53,5% when the moon is full at time of arrival

to protect your privacy you should delete the reservation number.

Hi Sixt Reps,

I have booked a XCAR from Orlando Airport (MCO) for August 2013. Is there anyway you can improve my chances of receiving a MB E-class instead of a BMW 5 series.. Many thanks

I am not a Sixt employee, but I have rented that class at MCO, and from what I can see, you have a 99%+ chance of getting an E. The site suggests a 5er is possible, but I haven't personally seen one in the US Sixt fleet - however I have seen numerous E-class, and rented a couple.

Hey.
Is it possible to rent a car in Germany, if I'm only 18.5 years old and have only had my driving license for 13 months?
If so, is the CPMR option avaiable for me? (That's meaning the BMW 1er and the VW GTI group).
What are the extra costs because of my young age?

I have made a reservation for CPMR class car picking up from MUC airport. My upcoming trip is for 11 days. I’ve never booked from Sixt before and would like to ask few questions.

As part of my reservation I requested automatic transmission and diesel. What are my chances of getting these two requests honored and what car is the most common in that category?

Also, I am planning to drive to Czech Republic and Austria. It looks like Sixt cross-border policy restricts rental of Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, VW, Porsche, Aston Martin and all Jeeps/Offroader when going to Czech Republic. CPMR class lists BMW 1er, VW Golf GTI, Mercedes-Benz A-Klasse so I guess I am not getting any of these cars because of the cross-border restrictions. Are there any other cars in this class that can be driven to Czech Republic?

Seems like 18 is the minimum age for CPMR at Sixt. Shouldn't be any extra then. Sixt.com will show the minimum age if you try to book, so you should be able to check individual classes for yourself.

Guess I'll ask here since Gary is pretty on top of it - what's the one-class upgrade from CPMR? Is that the Passat/Insignia? And does Sixt in Germany have Sciroccos in any class?

Hi Welch9, Normally you can add a remark to the reservation when placing it. Feel free to send me a PM with your reservation number and I'll add it for you. Hope this helps, Matt

sixtisbest

No. Netter Reserve something Else and mention crossboarder rektal to Check Republic at the Counter.

Everyone Else wants Automatik and Diesel as well, so you can ask, thats all.

sixtisbest

Yes, SSMR. One class Upgrade from C is something from I...
