Sixt intensifies long-standing partnership with Lufthansa

MUNICH, March 28, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Sixt, Germany's no. 1 car hire company, is extending its partnership with Lufthansa, one of the world's leading airlines. As part of this collaboration, which applies worldwide, Sixt will offer considerable added value to flight passengers as the car rental partner to Lufthansa. This means passengers will now be able to quickly and easily add a Sixt car rental when booking their flight online at lufthansa.com. Passenger and flight data will be automatically carried over so that passengers will not have to input all their data twice.

The offer comprises the whole Sixt rental car fleet, from premium vehicles for a business meeting to a van for the family holiday. The partnership also offers another added benefit for customers in terms of collecting miles: members of Miles&More, the biggest frequent flyer and rewards programme in Europe and a subsidiary of Lufthansa, will receive at least 500 premium miles with each Sixt Rent a Car booking.

Konstantin Sixt, Head of Sales at Sixt SE: 'Sixt and Lufthansa are linked by their long-standing cooperation and also have lots of things in common. Both companies are strong international brands, leading in their industries and bywords for quality and service. We therefore go extremely well together as partners. For this reason, we attach particular importance to this collaboration and are already looking forward to offering all Lufthansa passengers comprehensive premium services from Sixt.'

Heike Birlenbach, Senior Vice President Sales Lufthansa Hub Airlines: 'We at Lufthansa aim to offer our customers the best travel experience on the market. With Sixt as our premium car rental partner, we can offer our customers a high- quality mobility product in the form of an excellent complementary service. To this end, we have placed our trust in Sixt as an internationally operating car rental provider and market leader in Germany.'
