Sixt Car Rental at Bordeaux Merignac Airport

Bordeaux Airport is an international establishment which consists of a single, multi-level terminal building. This terminal is divided into Hall A and Hall B, which are connected by a covered walkway. All the car hire counters, including those of Sixt, are located in the Arrivals area. Sixt offers quality vehicles to hire, along with other car rental companies at the airport, which include Hertz, Europcar, Avis, National, Budget and Alamo.

Sixt is open between the hours of 07:15 and 23:00, from Monday to Friday, and on Saturdays between 08:00 and 21:30. On Sundays they are open from 09:00 to 22:30, and at the same times on bank holidays. At their Bordeaux Airport location, it is possible to return your vehicle out of office hours. Should this service be required, it is best to find out all the details from Sixt at this location.

Sixt offers their customers a range of vehicles in a variety of car categories. When renting a vehicle, usually a car category is chosen, rather than a specific make and model. Smaller compact vehicles such as the Smart Cabrio can be rented from Sixt, and these cars are ideal for two people. They can only store two small items of luggage. Cars that are suitable for four passengers include the Renault Twingo, Ford Fiesta, Ford Fusion, Renault Clio and VW Polo. These vehicles have more space for luggage, and include a navigation system if there is one available. They are also vehicles with a manual transmission.

Certain cars hired by Sixt always include a satellite navigation system. A GPS unit is truly a wonderful piece of equipment to take with you on your journey, especially if you are unfamiliar with the area. They also usually have various language options, relevant traffic information in real time, and thousands of pre-programmed points of interest, such as hotels, restaurants, pharmacies, golf courses, gas stations etc. Example vehicles in the categories that have navigation systems are the Mercedes-Benz Classe E Aut, BMW 520 Aut., BMW Series 5 and Mercedes-Benz CLK Coupé.

Sixt, at Bordeaux Airport, has larger wagon type vehicles for hire. These cars seat up to five passengers and have space for three large items of luggage and three smaller items of luggage. They include the Audi A4 Avant, Ford Mondeo Turnier, Skoda Octavia Break and BMW Série 5 Touring. These vehicles have a manual transmission. Vans such as the Ford Galaxy and Ford S-Max can be hired if you need space for seven people, and the Ford Transit and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Bus are available for up to nine passengers.

Sixt has some wonderful offers for their customers. For those who do not like to spend time in queues at the counter, and like quick and easy reservations, the Sixt Express Card is just the thing.

Payments for vehicle rentals at Sixt are made by using any one of the accepted major credit cards. These include American Express, Diners Club, Eurocard, Mastercard and Visa.
