Sixt Uses Netbiscuits to Build Mobile Internet Portal for Global Rental Car Services

Find and book the perfect rental car all through a mobile phone

RESTON, Va., March 25 -- Sixt provides rental cars for any situation, whether for a summer holiday or for a business trip -- and now all Sixt services are available via mobile phone. Germany's multi-country car rental provider used the Netbiscuits platform to create a web portal specifically tailored for mobile phones. This portal enables cars and services to be booked from anywhere and at any time. Web content is optimized and supplied in eight languages to more than 5,000 types of mobile devices in 85 countries around the world.

Everybody knows what it feels like: a frantic glance at the time when the train you are waiting for doesn't turn up due to a strike; or the sigh when the boxes don't fit in your car during a house move. Often a rental car is the perfect solution to cope with certain situations -- and preferably at the spur of the moment and without much effort. Netbiscuits helped Sixt implement the optimal solution for such needs with its mobile booking portal. Versatile, individualized options are provided through short booking procedures, low loading times for web pages, multi-language ability and optimal design for mobile devices. The portal remains independent of network providers and compatible with almost all mobile telephones, operating systems and browsers across the world. Unlimited content can be provided with the Netbiscuits technology and thus can perfectly accommodate requirements on mobile portals.

Karsten Willrodt, Head of Marketing at Sixt, explains, "More and more people are using the Mobile Internet as a service platform for all areas of life. As the innovation leader in car rentals, we want to move our customers forward as easily as possible and have therefore decided to provide our services via mobile phone. Thanks to Netbiscuits, we have been able to realize a mobile portal that brings a quick and straightforward way to finding and booking the perfect rental car via mobile phone to our customers across the world."

Michael Neidhofer, CEO of Dynetic Solutions, the company behind Netbiscuits, says, "Netbiscuits technology helped Sixt develop a mobile booking portal that is perfectly suited to the requirements of mobile phone users and provides a true Internet feeling. Functionality, design and user friendliness are fine-tuned to suit mobile phones. Content is optimally shown on almost every mobile device across the globe. We are pleased that Sixt, another international Netbiscuits customer, was convinced by our tailor-made one-fits-all solution."
