Are different offices of same car rental chain (Sixt) in Germany really different?

Accepted answer

All offices are operated by the same company and you can expect similar service in all branches.

Prices do however vary a lot depending on the location of the station. Just a check for tomorrow gives me prices between €110 and €170 for a daily rental of the same car depending on where you pick it up. The office at the main railway station is with €145 one of the more expensive locations, simply because customers are willing to pay a premium for picking up the car directly when they arrive by train.

You can change most Sixt reservations, but depending on the tariff you have chosen, you may have to pay an additional fee. In any case, you must pay the difference between the new and the old tariff.

They are locations of the same company, but depending on locations, car selection will vary significantly, and prices might vary too:

  • It is quite expensive to store a lot of cars downtown, as space is expensive, so if you rent downtown, you probably pay a higher price.
  • Similary, renting at an airport often has additional fees included, 20 to 30% extra is not uncommon.
  • The best price would be in suburbian / industrial areas, where space is cheap, but it is often hard to get to if you don't already have a car.
