Enjoy the Sunshine state with a roadtrip from Miami to Orlando
Auto travelers trekking from Miami to Orlando frequently use the most direct route, the Florida turnpike, which makes up 215 miles of the 234 miles trip. The state offers visitors and residents alike the chance to enjoy many diverse exploits. From theme parks to historic sites, sports venues to state parks teeming with wildlife, Florida possesses a host of diversions and one of the best ways to discover some these adventures is to rent a car and drive. The trip features a chance to enjoy a number of scenic vistas in addition to its varied adventure destinations.
The first stop for the driving traveler is Whitehall in Palm Beach, aka the Flagler Museum

My First Experience with DriveNow’s BMW ActiveE
My wife and I have been traveling to San Francisco every May for the past several years to run in the Bay to Breakers 12K cross-city race. We always stay at a downtown hotel, and never rent a car since hotels charge $50 – $60 per day for parking, and street parking is virtually non-existent. This generally works out well for us, but it does limit us to staying in a certain section of the city or the alternatives of combersome public transportation or expensive taxi cabs to branch out further. For this trip, we planned to make use of DriveNow, a premium carsharing service provided by BMW. In Europe, DriveNow is a Joint Venture between BMW and Sixt. This would be my first chance to try DriveNow as a customer. I signed up for the service in advance at their website us.drive-now.com, and within a couple of weeks my membership card arrived. I also downloaded the DriveNow App for my iPhone.

Steven, We Listen..
It seems companies cannot say enough about the importance of good quality customer service.. Here at Sixt rent a car, we have a tool to help monitor our customer’s perception and satisfaction with Sixt.
This tool is called our Customer Service Index tool, or CSI. After all, we have been around since 1912 and know a thing or two when it comes to customer service. On occasion our customers let us know areas that Sixt could improve upon. We have a team dedicated to customer service and anytime we receive a complaint our team jumps into action with more than just generic letters of an apology. However, they are not the first team to tackle negative feedback. Our branch managers are expected to come face to face with our customers and we expect them to listen and dedicate their time daily, so our customer’s can feel a sense of relief right away if they are upset.
Here at Sixt, the motto is, “The Customer is Boss” and we strive to make all of our customers happy every day.
We focus on keeping this index at the highest level and sometimes miss opportunities to shine. Our branch managers hear this weekly if not daily or anytime we see a drop in our CSI. For this reason we become complacent and don’t focus as we should on our front end with each customer every time. Read all about: Steven, We Listen..

South Florida’s Fleet Week 2013
22nd annual Broward Navy Days Fleet Week
This week is a special and inspiring week for South Floridians and people across the world.
The 22nd annual Broward Navy Days Fleet Week begins April 29th and goes throughout the week untill May 6th. Fort Lauderdale welcomes 2,500 sailors and marines as they spend the week in South Florida speaking at local schools, spending time with veterans, visiting hospitals, volunteering at the food banks, and relaxing on our beaches.
The Flavor of the Week
My name is Julianne, but, that doesn’t really convey my personality to the fullest, so for now Jules will suffice. I am working in Sixt’s Marketing department but you can also find me working in our rental car branch which is connected to our Head Quarters! This is where I get to explore my love for interacting with people and helping people find their way around Ft. Lauderdale Beach. I have a sincere passion for trying new restaurants and exploring different parts of South Florida.
When I am scheduled to work at the Sixt Ft.Lauderdale downtown location I love to prepare myself for potential interactions with customers coming in to rent a car. What do I mean by this? Well, I get to know the customer. I look to see where they are from originally, I like to be aware of their birthday, if they have special requests, which category of car was booked, or if they’re from a city which I am familiar with. This helps me establish a good rapport with our customers so they trust me when I recommend activities for them to do. Read all about: The Flavor of the Week
