Sixt Rent A Car says that a blog it set up to provide anyone who logs on with news and stories from around the world has been extremely successful. The Sixt blog was set up to serve customers of Sixt as well as non-customers who wish to contact an expert in order to gain information on car rental as well as what is going on in the car rental world. The site features blog posts from regular guests which cover subjects from world news to local events.

Internet marketing executive for Sixt, David Jackson said the blog site was not simply dedicated to publishing information about car hire. He wants the site to appeal to a broad range of internet customers and hopes that its diversity will appeal not only to regular Sixt customers but also to new customers.

Whether a Sixt customer or not, the site is already becoming an extremely useful tool for those wishing to find out about travel conditions in certain areas as well as any problems that they might encounter on their journeys. Sixt say that they were keen for the blog site to be separate from the Sixt reservations pages so that it didn’t simply feel like a sales tool. One of the most popular functions of the site is an area called Ask The Expert where anyone can get advice on even the most complicated problems associated with car rental such as what tyre type and pressure should one use when on a skiing holiday.
