NOPE
Solution: Boycott SIXT.
So many sites are asking for so much recently. Need some serious global regulations
Bought off bastards will never do it until we kill the billionaires that pay them.
My body is ready!
I wonder how many people will do it.
Several years ago Universal Studios wanted my thumbprint to go through a gate. I politely refused, people I was with were annoyed, employee acted like me not giving my thumbprint was a hassle.
Did they let you in without the thumb print or were you left out then?
Yeah there was another procedure but of course it took a minute.
I went to Universal last year and I don't remember having to give any fingerprint.
I do remember having to do that for Disney ages ago though. Like, well over a decade ago. I didn't think much of it at the time.
They do a face scan. Their tiny print terms say they only keep it temporarily, but I don't believe that at all.
That I do remember.
It was the train ride to Hogwarts IIRC.
The one between parks? I rode that both ways and didn't give up my print. Only thing I remember doing is them scanning my pass.
How are you supposed to pronounce this service? Because I keep trying and it keeps sounding like sext.
Found the kiwi!
Or could be Seth Efricn....
I think sorta like if 'six' had a past tense (i.e. sixed)
Huh. I viewed it as 60, the number. Six - T. Sorta like a speed limit.
Nah, it's a German family's last name.
Ah. Til.
I've never rented a car so I'm curious, what benefits does checking-in early actually get you? I assume you still need to talk to a person and go through the whole upselling thing they're notorious for. Accidental damage cover? Fuel cover? Rain cover? Excess cover? Excess cover excess cover?
Some rental places will let you bypass the counter and go straight to your vehicle. I would check in early everytime if bypassing was an option. I once waited over 2 hours at a counter due to the line. I had booked prior, but couldn't bypass the line regardless.
I’ve never rented a car so I’m curious, what benefits does checking-in early actually get you?
Nothing. Just like checking in early to a flight.
In fact, I can only see downsides and risks... for example, if something happens on your way to the rental company or airport, which makes it impossible to actually get the vehicle or take your flight.
"But you checked in, sorry!". 😒
I think it's a mix of convenience for business travelers and a way to sate one's anxiety for control freaks.
They can't even spell their T&C's correctly smh
"Enrolment" is the British spelling.
I had a great experience with Turo. You just have to leave yourself some extra time to take pics of the car when you return it. No face scans.
