Sixt rent a car has continued to invest in its premium fleet with the introduction of the new Mercedes S-Class at its London Heathrow branch.

The vehicles will be available to hire from today and will increase the total size of Sixt’s fleet of Mercedes, the largest in Europe.

The S-Class range has been a driver of innovation in the automotive sector for more than 30 years spearheading the introduction of anti-lock brakes and airbags in the European market.

The latest model follows in this tradition with the debut of an intelligent suspension system that uses cameras and sensors to build a 360 degree picture of the car’s surroundings and responds accordingly.

This history makes the Mercedes S-Class the ideal partner for Sixt in its continued aim to drive innovation in the car rental space.

Ian Feast, group managing director operations, said: “The Heathrow branch offers a full range of vehicles to suit both personal and business needs, from economy and family cars to convertibles.

“The addition of the S-Class Mercedes now gives our loyal business customers another premium option that they only get with us.

“We are proud not only by the scale and breadth of the fleet but the customer service and convenience that we offer at Sixt Heathrow.”
