Sixt and airline Virgin America have launched a comprehensive partnership within the United States and Mexico that will create special benefits of bonus points and savings to loyalty members of both innovative companies.

From now until September 9th, 2013, Elevate frequent flyer members will be able to enjoy an exclusive offer to rent premium Sixt car for only $49 per day in select Virgin Amercia markets.

Sixt marketing manager Regine Sixt said: “I am very pleased to work with Virgin America.

“The company is one of the best airlines in the US and is an ideal partner for our ongoing expansion on the North American continent.”

Germany-based Sixt has recently sought to expand in the United States through a series of franchise agreements.

Phil Seward, director of loyalty, Virgin America, added: “We are thrilled to partner with Sixt as they continue to expand their presence in the US.

“As a premier luxury rental car brand, I think our Elevate members will really enjoy Sixt’s distinctive rental options along with additional Elevate reward benefits.”
