Christmas is Approaching
Get in the Christmas Spirit with Sixt rent a car
It’s that time of year again, we are getting closer and closer to the big day and I haven’t bought any presents. But to top it off, I really don’t want to go shopping and join the other 3 million panic buyers in a rush to get the best / any present to give someone. It is also that time of year when you realize how big your family is and how much you have to do to prepare for this day. I know even though the shopping is painful and time consuming it is all for a great moment to share with your loved ones – this is the one reason why Christmas is so important and why we should treasure these times. It’s turning out that in more recent times there is always another addition to the family making it harder and harder to cater for, but I will not fail! Other than the catering, more people means more gifts will be received meaning more smiling faces and as I am the host, I am officially off washing up and cleaning duties.

BMW Group and Sixt team up to launch London’s most flexible and
smart car sharing service – DriveNow
World leaders in urban mobility solutions, BMW Group and Sixt today announced the launch of London’s most spontaneous and flexible car sharing service – DriveNow.
The DriveNow service, which already has over 350,000 customers globally across seven locations (Berlin, Munich, Dusseldorf, Cologne, Hamburg, Vienna and San Francisco) will launch across three London boroughs Islington www.sixt.co.uk/drivenow, Hackney and Haringey from today with other boroughs set to launch the pioneering service in 2015.
Joseph Seal-Driver, UK Head of DriveNow comments: ‘Car sharing has really begun to capture Londoners’ imaginations but it’s still a fairly niche service. Londoners have told us that current services don’t reflect how they live and move. Our goal is that DriveNow’s introduction of a location and booking free, drive-by-the-minute, park anywhere service will act as the tipping point in transforming car sharing into a mainstream mobility choice for Londoners.’
A one-time registration fee of £29 gives DriveNow customers access to a fleet of 210 (up to 300 in 2015) top of the range BMW 1 Series and MINIs. From Spring 2015 the fleet will also be London’s first electric car fleet with the arrival of 30 BMW i3s.

DriveNow car sharing service promises not only to be London’s most stylish, but also its most flexible and spontaneous car sharing service thanks to being entirely location and booking free – cars have no fixed bay to return to, and can be dropped for free anywhere across the boroughs.
The DriveNow App (available on iOS and Android devices) is used by customers to locate and open their nearest car, or they simply use their customer card to unlock and activate a car they’ve seen on the street.
Their driving experience is then totally tailored to their needs as they only pay for the minutes they drive (at 39p a minute with an hourly cap of £20 to drive a DriveNow car, or from as low as 32p with DriveNow savings packages) and can drop the car for as long as they want, wherever they want. The DriveNow service has been the first in London to negotiate with the boroughs Hackney, Islington and Haringey for its customers to be able to park in ANY legal on-street parking space, including all residential parking zones, giving its members unparalleled parking access across some of the capital’s busiest creative, leisure and business centres.
