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

You can immediately feel the quality in a rental car. No wonder travelers don’t want to miss out on the pleasure of a luxury model. Renting a high-end vehicle can be expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. As a Platinum Cardholder, for example, you benefit from special rates at SIXT. You can simply pay with your American Express Card and receive a vehicle in the next higher class when you rent—at no extra charge.

To activate these benefits with SIXT, you need to register once for the “SIXT ONE” rewards program. Once you’ve added your American Express Platinum Card as a means of payment with SIXT, you can take advantage of these convenient car rental perks in your daily life and while traveling.

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. Please refer to the insurance terms and conditions for details.

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.
