Sixt winter rentals...

I've just hired a car for two days for the grand sum of CHF21.99.

Sixt are having a special 11.11.11 promo with 1111 cars for rent at bonkers prices. Snap 'em up. Offer lasts until mid December, but you have to book today. Nice nice.

a link would be helpful. I have searched for the deal on their website using various days (weekends and weekdays) and have not been able to get anything for 11 chf per day

Probably because uncle max has reserved all the available cars!

I tried www.sixt.ch and got offered a Open Corsa for €11 per day....not bad.

Just went to main site www.sixt.ch booked a mica for 3 days 32 Chf

Very happy with that

Ditto! two days for 22.99 . Note, there is a km limit of 300km/day. No weekend trip to Berlin

you need to click on the special link on the homepage "11.11.11"

http://www.sixt.ch/ , otherwise if you book through the regular reservation calendar you just get the regular prices.

i get no link when i go there. I have searched the entire front page

...reading through this thread now...

I just want to say that I've been with Sixt for over 10 years (decided not to own a car as we live in the city centre), and they are top. I'm renting from them regularly, world wide, and really happy with both the cars and service. I can't say that I never had any problems, but there were always solutions.

Big kudos to the Zurich city team, they really rock . Ms Glauser runs it really well!

Sorry, that link is whack. Head to their homepage, see the promo plastered all over it

did it! 2 days, 21chf! killer! (no extra insurance included, btw!)

Thanks for the tip. Wanted to go to to Germany over the upcoming holiday and now we can! Super excited, can't wait.

Anbody lucky enough to be holidaying in Spain? we have some crazy prices there too ;-) Here's a sneak peek for you guy's as the promotion is not actually being published until Monday.

gary, i have a question. i do hold a press pass and with a press pass i should get up to 50% discount. but thats never the case. internet offers i could book cheaper as by fon with my press pass. why is it, what do i have to do to get 50%? what does it depend on?

I need to check this, will do on Monday

For the record I have no connection with Sixt except for being a satisfied customer. I've yet to ride the Range Rover Sport hint hint nudge nudge say no more how's your Father?

Yes please do. We are going to the uk and usually we rent from another company but if we get something off with a press pass then im going to Sixt

Hi,

This relates to booking cars in the UK - I've used Sixt a couple of times.

Generally I book a car to collect at Manchester Airport to drive to my parents who live in Yorkshire (it's a bit hilly). Each time I have been given a car which does not have a proper handbrake - instead a button and the release is done by pressing the button while holding the brake pedal.

How the heck am I supposed to do a hill start in a car like that? I spent all my time stopping the car rolling back on the accelerator and clutch which is real pain.

Is there some way at booking time I can direct that the car I actually get on the day has a handbrake on a lever and not on the brake pedal / button combination?

Cheers,

Nick

what car is that? My Audi has the "handbrake by button", but you don't have to release it...simply find the biting point and move off.

Perhaps you should rent an automatic!
