Jerseyguy Posted September 11, 2016 Report Posted September 11, 2016 Priceline now partners with SIXT for rental car bidding. I've heard a fair number of bad reviews about SIXT but I don't see any winning bids on the site with SIXT. Has anyone gotten SIXT when bidding for a rental car?? I'm looking for a full size in FLL so if anyone has any expperience with that location it would be great. Questioning whether I can still use Priceline NYOP in cities that have a SIXT anymore.
thereuare Posted September 11, 2016 Report Posted September 11, 2016 Although not as well known in the US, Sixt is a well-known and legitimate player in the rental car industry in Europe. Personally I wouldn't have any issue renting from them (as i would with some of the 'second tier' companies) and it wouldn't keep me from using them (or renting from them directly if the price was right), but in the US they are still only in a few markets which is why we may not have seen any reported wins with them yet (and in these markets they may not be discounting as much as the other rental companies that deal with PRICELINE). You can use the CARS radio button of our BiddingHelper.com tool to easily compare prices from different rental companies, place your PRICELINE bid, as well as see what HOTWIRE is offering (although HOTWIRE now also deals with Sixt and Advantage) Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases. Let us know whatever you decide to do for this rental or how we can be of further help.

Jerseyguy Posted September 12, 2016 Author Report Posted September 12, 2016 Ok, so I checked out SIXT Ft. Lauderdale and either people love them or hate them very few it was ok. Since its 3.8 out 5 on google I'll chance it. Only bad thing is that because FLL has a rental car center, off site rental agencies require 2 shuttles to get there. I will most likely just Uber direct from the terminal. It will cost $10 each way but it will be worth it. I'm going to start a clean thread for my bidding.
Jerseyguy Posted September 12, 2016 Author Report Posted September 12, 2016 Started out at $13 per day FULL SIZE Priceline Counteroffered with $16 Being that it was only $15.42 difference in total price I accepted it Cheapest I could find it on the retail side was $370 for a known name brand (or $243 if you include SIXT). So I'm very happy with my results USED PRICELINE link Glad it wasn't SIXT
