Car hire firm Sixt has launched a new product, which aims to give small and medium-sized business enterprises in the London area, the advantages of a corporate account, without the paperwork. At the beginning of the month, Sixt Trade was launched to allow a growing number of businesses access to vehicles, without the hassle of actually opening an account.

Sixt’s commercial director, Per Voegerl, said that Sixt Trade would allow SME businesses access to the best rates Sixt had to offer, as well as an improved online booking service, the option of having vehicles delivered and collected, and the chance to earn rewards, such as free rental days.

Voegerl added that the product had been specifically tailored to those businesses which needed easy access to a reliable rental service, but did not want to get embroiled in contracts and paperwork. The service even offers customers the ability to pay for their vehicle hire on a credit card belonging to a third party.

Businesses which use the new Sixt Trade service will be able to earn rewards on their Sixt Trade loyalty card. One of the main perks being offered is the chance to earn a free day’s vehicle rental for every nine days of paid rental. Sixt said that this will help many small and medium sized businesses make significant savings on their annual rental bills.

Sixt Trade is being offered to customers at all 16 of the firm’s London based branches. Companies are able to book vehicles on the Sixt website at any time of the day or night.
