Sixt's SmartStart Lets Customers Skip the Check-In Desk

To help cut down on airport wait times, Sixt is introducing SmartStart, a service that will allow customers who have booked rental vehicles online to bypass the check-in desk, Fleet Europe reports.

Rolling out first in Italy at Milan’s Malpensa airport and Rome’s Roma Fiumicino, customers can exit their plane and go straight to the parking lot, where a Sixt representative will hand them the keys to their rental vehicle.

The service will later be available in Amsterdam, Munich, and Hamburg.
