Sixt AG, Germany’s largest car rental company and international provider of high-quality mobility solutions, is the first rental company to offer its customers mobile rental bookings through BlackBerry phones, including the models Curve, Bold, Pearl and Storm. The application is tailored to the smartphone’s capabilities, allowing users to reserve their car of choice quickly and simply from one of nearly 3,500 Sixt stations in more than 90 countries worldwide. As an introductory offer, customers using the innovative service will receive 10 percent off bookings in Germany and France up to the end of June. The new offer represents a systematic expansion of the mobile rental booking options already possible via conventional mobile phones and the iPhone.

Customers using a BlackBerry can simply download the Sixt application for free at our Mobile Reservations page, or visit our blackberry to gain direct access to the downloads. After completing the download, users have numerous innovative services available at their fingertips. Customers can reserve their desired car via BlackBerry, and receive confirmation via text message or PDS. The “MySixt” page shows an overview of current reservations as well as the option to cancel or change bookings. Additionally, customers can login with their Sixt customer cards, giving them access to their individual rates. Likewise, business customers can also access their business rates.

The Sixt BlackBerry application is specifically designed and optimised for quick transfer rates, ensuring a smooth and effortless rental process. Customers can connect the Sixt application with BlackBerry features – for example saving rental station addresses and pick-up/drop-off times in their smartphones. In addition, the BlackBerry’s GPS capabilities allow the application to locate the nearest Sixt stations. The Sixt application is also available for download at www.sixt.com . Business customers can also receive a customised version on request.
