American Express car hire benefits
The Platinum Card offers special benefits: Amex customers save on car hire.
Goodbye price comparison: Secure a hire car at a special price with Amex
If you want to stay flexible when traveling, hire a car. But which provider is reliable – and where is the price right? For American Express Cardholders, this question simply doesn’t come up. With the Gold Card you get a 10% discount at Rentalcars.com. With the Platinum Card, you also benefit from exclusive terms with Avis, Hertz and SIXT.
Vehicle upgrade: always a class above
Do you appreciate that certain something? Then you’ll love the vehicle upgrade. With the American Express Platinum Card, you receive a free upgrade to the next vehicle class at SIXT, Avis and Hertz, subject to availability – completely automatically. So an Opel Astra quickly becomes a BMW 3 Series.
Top service: because life is too short to wait
The requested hire car is fully booked, the queue at the counter is endless and there is no one to talk to when you return it? Not with the American Express Platinum Card: With it, you benefit from preferential vehicle provision at SIXT – if you call up to 24 hours before collection. At Hertz, reservations are particularly quick, and at the Avis and Hertz counters you can enjoy the priority service: faster at the counter, quicker to your journey. And more time for what really counts.
Sounds good? The Platinum Travel Service offers further support in organizing your trips: For Platinum Cardholders, it arranges flights, hire cars, transfers and private jets. You can also leave the booking of hotels, hire cars and package deals to the professionals.
Additional driver included: more relaxed traveling with Avis
You think you can actually manage the journey, but a change of driver would be nice, especially at this time of day? If you rent a car from Avis with the American Express Platinum Card, the decision is easy: An additional driver is included at no extra charge. So you share the journey – and the relaxation.

If you value comfort and reliability at such times, the SIXT limousine service is the best choice for you. As an American Express Platinum Cardholder, you benefit from exclusive special terms.
