The widely-diskliked London Congestion Charge is hitting car and van hire firms hard, according to statistics published by rental firm Sixt. The German firm, which has fifteen branches in Greater London, says that it had to pay out £212,000 last year thanks to rental customers who failed to pay the congestion charge.
Some of these non-payments may be due to ignorance. Sixt rental operations director Bob Baillie says that the company has found that “a large percentage of business travellers from outside London are unfamiliar with the Congestion zones.” However, Baillie also admitted that “having to pay up to £100 each for non-payment is a bitter pill to swallow.”
To help people unfamiliar with the London Congestion Charge system, Sixt have produced an excellent guide to the LCC. For those who aren’t familiar, the congestion charging zone includes the City, Southark, Lambeth, Finsbury, Westminster, Soho, Marylebone, Hyde Park, Kensington, Chelsea and Notting Hill – plus a few more areas (see here for a map).
To learn more or to pay the congestion charge, visit the official Transport for London Congestion Charging website at: www.cclondon.com

New Locations
In addition to the great van hire deals above, Sixt are hard at work expanding their UK network of rental branches.
They’ve already opened van hire branches in Croydon and Walthamstow this year – and are set to open a new branch in Epsom early in May.
To top it off, 2008 saw Sixt open a new, specialist van hire centre at London’s Heathrow Airport. As Beverley Oliver, Sixt’s UK Head of Sales, explains, the company felt it was necessary to provide a specialist commercial vehicle hire centre to meet demand at the airport:
“The commercial vehicle sector is extremely specialised, so we have ensured that our new van centre boasts not only an accessible location, but also knowledgeable and experienced staff who can offer a first class service to our commercial customers.”
Sixt’s Heathrow van hire centre is staffed with experienced specialists who are familiar with all aspects of van rental and operation – meaning that whatever you requirements, you will be able to get expert, friendly help.
Van hire company Sixt now has a new booking website designed for access by mobile phone.
The website is at www.sixt.mobile.de and displays in German by default, but can easily be changed to English using the ‘Sprachauswahl’ option near the bottom of the page. Just click on ‘Sprachauswahl’ and then select English.
Happily, the site offers both car and van hire – all you need is a reasonably modern mobile phone and you’re good to go! A full range of choices is available – just like booking through Sixt’s main website.
Sixt have just been chosen by the readers of Business Traveller magazine as the “Best Car Rental Company in Europe” – for the second year running.
This accolade is certain to apply to their van hire operation, too. Some of the criteria for the award were vehicle quality, hire process simplicity and price/performance ratio. The award winners were chosen solely by the readers of the influential Business Traveller magazine – meaning that this verdict came straight from the horse’s mouth.
Sixt are one of the leading van hire companies in the UK – and their regularly updated, user-friendly website is definitely one of the reasons for this.
I’ve just received an email from the good people at Sixt Van & Truck hire telling me about some cheap van hire offers they have running at the moment. These deals change regularly but are always competitive – so it’s well worth having a look.

In an effort to raise the profile of their van rental business, Sixt have introduced a range of specially liveried VW Crafters.
