Only Smart's are flashy covered.

BTW, I just wanted to help photog72 that he get's the best deal for him. He should check both Sixt & Sixti, and then make a decision what's best for him. And I surely know that Wiggums isn't one of the fairy tellers. .. he just wasn't aware, that Sixti changed some pesty rules ... and photog72 should know this.
Now that I have a Sixt Platinum card, I take Sixt; same price like Sixti. But there is nothing wrong driving a car from Sixti. photog72 should check the prices, rule & regulations on the websites.

Your list is nice and nearly right..... ^ shows that i was right
I don�t know how to post pics here, is it possible? I have some pics of sixti cars(german fleet), they are flashy covered, even ford focus and ford mondeo......And as i said, i live in hamburg and i saw them on the street or do you think it was a hallozination?

There are not only Smarts with flashy advertisement but also Ford Focus. I am absolutely sure because I still had one and I saw other several times, when I pciked but my "normal" sixt car.

Hey AlexHam

as far as I know (or let's say I am quite sure) it's not possible to post pics here. You need to use any other website to post pics and then add the link here.

Good news: I don't think it was a hallucination

That's all I know:

1. It's not 'my list' - it's a press release from Sixt.
Please read here > http://ag.sixt.de/presse/news/mittei...l_msg=20050131
However, 'my list' is a cut and paste from this link and might be misleading due to missing tabs. It should read for Sixti: Beklebte Fahrzeuge (nur SMART)

2. My cars did not have any flashy ads

3. I did not see a Sixt car at FRA with flashy ads

4. Sixti should not have Ford Focus, only Ford Mondeo

Bottom line - It doesn't matter who is right or not. The question is, should photog72 even consider Sixti? I believe yes, when he want's to save some money. photog72 should look at the 'restrictions' at the link above.

You are right with your "bottom line" , but when u correct other users(post #134) and write that they are "story-tellers", u have to post true things and don�t post wrong things again, even if these things are obviously unimportend.

The press release is from 01.01.2005.........-says everything, it is not up to date.
And visit the sixti website, there u can still rent the Ford Focus.........

So,please try to make a difference between "i know" and " i think i know"

But it is ok, it�s a forum

Right now, the point is moot for me. I tried reserving a car through http://www.sixti.com and they had no availability on the dates I wanted, and I even tried different cities I was going to visit. Oh well, Sixt, here I come.

I second this. Normally your posts are quite helpful, USAFAN. But you should argue more differentiated and do not bash other, just because not all of their information are right (btw, most were correct in this case by previous posters!). It's helpful to be corrected if someone makes mistakes but we should respect the etiquette on FT. That is what makes FT such a great board, at least IMHO.

And didn't any of you see USAFAN's quote:

And I surely know that Wiggums isn't one of the fairy tellers. .. he just wasn't aware, that Sixti changed some pesty rules ... and photog72 should know this.

He did post a few things I wasn't aware of.

Which airlines statuses get sixt diamond? What are the benefits of this status?

LH HON Circle
40% Discount and Double Upgrade

As kwoj suggests, only M&M Hon's are entitled to get the Sixt Diamond card. But it's only the color of the card we are talking about.

You'll get the same discount (40% off for all discountable rates - internet rates are NOT discountable!) and a double upgrade with two other programs but Sixt will only give you a Plat card. The following programs will entitle you to get the same perks as Sixt Diamond but with Plat Card:

As this upgrades are only subject to availability it is not such a great perk. BTW Sixt is quite generous concerning upgrades even if you just have a Gold or Instant Card. There are reports on FT, that Sixt is not that generous with upgrades at some airport stations like LHR.

I've had Sixt Platinum for some time and am very happy with treatment from Sixt (very good rates, always upgraded, fantastic cars, etc)

I've seen advertisements for Sixt Diamond, and just wondering if this level is attainable through frequent renting (I rent about 50 times a year), or whether it comes just with LH HON, LHW Unlimited,...

Thanks

Where have you seen the advertisements ?

Board of Directors of Sixt have to invite you or you must hold one of the statuses youve mentioned.

Thanks

At the Sixt desk at NCE airport is a sign for Sixt Diamond/Platinum (this is how I first heard of this level) and while at MUC car rental centre a few months ago I heard one agent saying to another "...we have a Diamond booked this morning so make sure we have one S [class Mercedes] available"

Incidentally, I find it interesting that my Platinum card is valid until 01/12!
