Frequently asked questions
Is Enterprise or Sixt cheaper?
In the US, Enterprise is significantly cheaper — lower base rates and neighborhood locations avoid airport surcharges. In Europe, Sixt's premium fleet at competitive base rates delivers better value per dollar.
Should I use Enterprise for US and Sixt for Europe?
Yes, that's the optimal strategy. Enterprise dominates US domestic rentals on price. Sixt dominates European road trips on vehicle quality. They complement rather than compete.
Does Enterprise operate in Europe?
Yes, through Enterprise Holdings' European network. But the fleet and experience are standard — Sixt's premium fleet (Mercedes, BMW) is a distinctly better European experience.
Which has better customer service?
Enterprise has the lowest damage claims disputes in the US industry. Sixt's service is solid in Europe but less standardized in the US. Both are above average for their primary markets.
Do either offer status match?
Neither offers formal status match. Enterprise Plus is volume-based only. Sixt's path to higher tiers is the Sixt Card Platinum subscription or rental accumulation.
