Sixt Platinum
Hi folks,
I am relatively new to the game so just wanted to get a confirmation from FTers about how many rentals you need per year to get a Platinum status with SIXT, I have heard 15, but there is nothing on the website about it and on Russian and Czech websites, it says 20.
Thank you!

As far as I know it's 20 rentals per year. But there are some more opportunities to get a Sixt Platinum Card, for instance by M&M-Status (SEN).

no, they used to be partner of budget. but the platinum sixt card wont be accepted by anyone in USA as far as I know. however, through the holiday car section they will rent a car through their travel agency. but that partner won't upgrade you because of the sixt platin

Does Sixt Platinum still exist?
I've got a Sixt Plat card through M&M Senator status valid until 2011. I just checked the sixt website and they don't seem to offer the card anymore. All google links to the card end up on the main sixt page.
Do they still offer this or do they still honour the cards and expecially the upgrades?

i am going to try the mobility guaranteed benefit on tuesday in Paris, as I have not been able to find a rental available anywhere, and had to extend my stay for a couple days. I will report back on it, but right now I am seeing this as a great benefit.

With Plat i pay for the cheapest car and usually get a Premium car in return. So for example, i order a Ford Focus and get a Merc C Class or similar.

The best rental upgrade I've ever had was with sixt and platinum, rented a compact and received a BMW 745i, It was astounding upgrade and what a car. I have to say seats that actively hug you in corners and the night vision thing (not that useful I feel). However the program is excellent but it's hit and miss, I've often received no upgrade. and I don't rent the cheapest cars either, normally mid range. In europe sixt normally have better cars than other car rental agencies
