  • Upgrade to the next higher vehicle class
  • 150 free kilometers when renting a SIXT luxury car

More class on every journey – with the automatic hire car upgrade

Quality is immediately noticeable in a hire car. It’s no wonder that travelers don’t want to miss out on the pleasure of a luxury model. Hiring a high-quality model can be expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. Holders of the American Express Platinum Card receive a vehicle in the next class up from SIXT – at no extra charge.

All-round carefree with the Platinum Card from American Express

With the American Express Platinum Card, you not only benefit from exclusive advantages with SIXT, but also from comprehensive insurance cover. Thanks to the fully comprehensive insurance included, you are covered against property damage up to CHF 120,000 for hire cars – including repair costs and the hire company’s excess. So you can enjoy your journey without any worries, no matter what happens on the road.

  • For holders of the American Express Platinum Card
  • CHF 200 travel credit per year
  • CHF 25 discount on journeys (up to 8 times per year)

Clever traveling – more scope for the extraordinary

Even if you are looking for the extraordinary, you will certainly appreciate smart decisions in everyday life. One option is to apply for the American Express Gold Card. This offers you attractive benefits when traveling, in everyday life and when shopping. However, the Gold Card does not offer benefits at SIXT, for example. With the Platinum Card you are even more exclusive when traveling, at all levels.  

With the annual SIXT ride travel credit of CHF 200, American Express Platinum Cardholders save on everyday journeys – whether it’s to the office, shopping or dinner. There is a discount of CHF 25 on journeys – up to eight times a year. This leaves more room for maneuver for the special moments in life.
