SIXT AWARDED CAR RENTAL PARTNER OF THE YEAR

Sixt rent a car has been named Car Rental Partner of the Year by Manchester Airport. The accolade was presented to the company as part of the airport's first Retailer of the Year awards.

The awards reflect consumer opinion on services at Manchester Airport. Exit interviews were undertaken to determine visitors' views on the full range of facilities available at the airport including retail outlets, check in desks and car rental, with Sixt beating Avis and Europcar, which were also shortlisted.

The car rental award was judged on breadth of vehicle choice and availability, quality of service, location and ease of access, and overall value for customers. The award recognised Sixt's innovation, vehicle choice and value-for-money at the company's Manchester Airport branch, where it operates outlets at all three terminals with an additional express service, providing customers with a handy, on-line check-in tool.

Bob Baillie from Sixt UK said: "We are committed to improving our service and providing first-class car rental that meets our customers' needs. This award recognises our dedication to customers, and it is great that its consumers themselves who have rated us the best."

Sixt rent a car offers a market-leading service with over 26,000 vehicles from more than 150 rental locations in the UK, including branches at other major airports including Gatwick, Heathrow, Edinburgh, Birmingham and Glasgow.
