normal station: sixt platin
airport/trainstation with service fee: happydigits, if available.
the reason whay hd is cheaper at airports is, that the service fee is calculated on the hd price whereas the service fee of the platin price is calculated on the nondiscounted price.
example: price of platin 65e. that means original price is 100. then the service fee is calculated on the 100 and not on the 65, therefore 19 (as it is 19% in Germany)
Sixt is receiving complaints everyday for that (even from me a couple of times), but they dont change this silly system.

How did you receive your diamond card. I asked for it and they said they will not give it to me although I'm probably driving Sixt 350 days per year. I thing this should be worth a diamond card. Do I have to do something special to get it ?? do you have any contacts
??

its very easy in Germany:

airport/trainstation with service fee: happydigits, if available.

Thanks. Very interesting! I'll check it out. For long-time-rentals, I may "change" the car at a city location (example: 14 days rent = 1 day airport rental car, 13 days city rental car)

Sixt Hotline told me that they turned down a customer with 400 rental days p.a. . I guess its a combination of days and number of rentals and car class that gets you the card.

Maybe also my US address did it.
I just don't know, as it was not important to me. It was Diamond card number two.
