Sixt and AirPlus International have partnered to help ease business travel. Now, all Sixt rent and Sixt ride bookings can be paid and settled centrally and digitally the Sixt app with an AirPlus company account.

The mobility company and the payment provider now also offer this option for Sixt ride bookings on the Sixt website, consistently expanding their cooperation. Business travelers can easily access Sixt’s wide range of mobility services depending on their travel needs. In addition, corporate customers receive a consolidated overview of travel costs that can be transparently assigned based on additional information, such as cost centers or project numbers.

New customers who have an AirPlus Account only need to register once in the Sixt app or website and create a dedicated Sixt booking profile for business travel. Corporate customers can monitor the invitations to this as well as the user management themselves via the newly established central Sixt Business Hub.

The Business Hub is a 24/7 self-service tool that is available in the travel manager’s account on the Sixt website and requires no additional login. Existing customers will automatically receive access to the new payment option in their app.
