Sixt Rent-A-Car offers smart cars for €9.99 in Europe or £9.00 in the UK

Sixt Rent-A-Car’s discount subsidiary, SIXTI, is now offering smart car rentals, as well as Ford Fiestas, starting at only €9.99 per day, throughout Europe. In the United Kingdom, this price is £9.00 for a smart car, picked up at a range of locations, including at Stansted Airport in London, King’s Cross, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester and Liverpool. The £9.00 rate represents the basic daily rental fee. UK clients should be prepared, however, to pay an additional £6.99 for a complete loss and damage waiver, valued at up to £750,000, or £2.50 for a more basic LDW, worth up to £250,000. The cost to register additional drivers stands at £2.50 per person. With all extra charges and taxes included, renters usually pay an additional £19.98.

SIXTI’s smart cars are comfortable for up to four people, including two adults, and two children. Larger families, or groups of adults should consider renting a Ford Focus, or a Peugeot instead, both of which are included in SIXTI’s fleet. This company, however, can be especially appealing to younger drivers who may not be permitted to rent a car elsewhere. Unlike many of its competitors, SIXTI permits those above 18 years of age to book a car hire. It is, however, normally necessary that any renter have two years of experience driving with a full license. Cars should always be reserved at least 48 hours in advance, especially when looking for a smart car. Since this is a discount company, it is best to make all bookings online, using the site’s reservation tools. Telephone bookings, however, are also possible.
