Sixt Car Rental at Paris Orly Airport

Paris Orly Airport is located to the south of Paris city, and straddles two departments and seven communes. The airport is one of the largest in France, with over 25 million passengers per annum, and is a hub for several airline carriers. Orly Airport has the official code of ORY, and its terminal buildings are extensively equipped with all facilities required by their passengers. There are also several forms of public transport available, and a few excellent Paris Orly Airport car rental companies, such as Sixt. Car hire is popular amongst many passengers arriving at the airport, and Sixt offers a wide range of vehicles at competitive rental rates.

Sixt Care Hire has rental counters in the Paris Orly West Terminal building, which is one of the two passenger terminals at the airport. Paris Orly South is the other building, and both handle arrival flights from various airline companies, and from domestic and international locations. Passengers arriving at the South Terminal can easily transfer to the West Terminal, and the Sixt rental counters by the Orlyval, which is the airport’s automated light rail system. The Orlyval is also free to use by anyone at the airport, and is a very quick journey. Passengers who prefer to walk however, will find a pathway leading between the terminals, and it will take approximately five minutes on foot. Sixt Paris Orly Airport is open between the hours of 07:00 and 23:00, Mondays to Fridays, and from 07:30 to 22:00 on Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays. Vehicle returns may be possible twenty-four hours a day.

Sixt offers their customers arriving at Paris Orly Airport a number of innovative services, especially if they hold a Sixt Express Card. This is a free service for all customers of Sixt, and is available for occasional renters as well. A Sixt Express Card allows access to the Sixt Quick-Check-In terminals, and the Sixt Mobile and Sixt Online-Check-In services. The Quick-Check-In terminals enable customers to bypass the rental counters, and create their own rental agreements in just three easy steps, provided that they already have an existing reservation. Inserting the Sixt Express Card or credit card into the terminal accesses their reservation system. A suitable car can then be chosen from those available, and the rental agreement printed. The keys of the vehicle are stored in the safe. Frequent renters can enjoy even greater benefits from Sixt with the Sixt Gold Card, and ladies can expect the same corporate rates as their partner with the Sixt Ladies Card.

At all the Paris Orly Airport car hire companies, including Sixt, a variety of car makes and models are available, however, customers will be selecting a car group when renting a vehicle, rather than a car by its specific make and model. From Sixt, smaller vehicles are similar to the Smart For Two, ideal just for two passengers, and the Fiat 500, Fiat Punto, Renault Twingo and Peugeot 206, with two or four doors, and room for four passengers. These smaller car models are usually the most economical vehicles for hire, and are fuel efficient as well. They are a good choice if you don’t have too many luggage items, and would like to save on rental costs. Further examples of 4-seater vehicles are the Ford Fiesta, Opel Corsa, VW Polo and Seat Ibiza.

Although a little more expensive to hire, families may find a larger car to be much more suitable, with more interior space and a larger capacity for luggage. At Sixt, a variety of estate vehicles are available, similar to the Peugeot 308 Break and Renault Megane Estate, as well as the Opel Insignia Sports Tourer, Ford Mondeo Turnier and VW Passat Variant. Estate cars from Sixt will require the primary renter to be at least 23 years of age, and to have held their drivers license for a minimum period of two years prior to the rental date. The smaller cars mentioned have a minimum age requirement of just 21.

MPV’s from Sixt come in various sizes. For five passengers, there is the Opel Zafira, Ford Focus C-Max and VW Touran, while for seven the Ford S-Max, Ford Galaxy, VW Sharan and Peugeot 807 are ideal. An even larger van from Sixt is the Renault Trafic, with room for up to nine passengers. There are also several offroad vehicles available from Sixt, with a higher minimum age requirement of 28, and they include the VW Tiguan, Ford Kuga, Volvo XC60, Audi Q5 and Mercedes-Benz Classe M.

Vehicles from Sixt, Paris Orly Airport, may be arranged as a one way hire, and additional equipment may include hand controls for disabled drivers. Sixt one way hires are a more convenient option for those who are not returning to Orly Airport. Hand controls from this rental location are free of charge, but should be reserved in advance. They are ideal for drivers with a lower limb deficiency, and may also include a steering wheel knob for additional assistance. Paris Orly Airport one way hires may be more expensive if returned to a location in different country.
