I've tried and tested for European rentals, as well as one-way rentals as well, and it worked like a charm.
goo.gl/BqAFSI
For the USA and Israel I didn't test it.
What I prefer on this site is the clarity unlike some other sites concerning the CDW (which is often included) and taxes, and I've even had a free additional driver.
If different people will be happy with it, maybe it should be posted in the wiki.

Holy cow, that's awesome! Totally beat anything I've found so far for REK. Did you create this site?

ETA: actually not... I just had never checked SIXT yet. The site you linked to had an automatic at $80 for 1 day in August. SIXT.com had it as low as $34.

If you use the corporate account posted somewhere on the site, I got insane prices, but when I picked it up, they came up with new taxes and fees which supposedly weren't included.
Just make sure that is what you actually pay.

Sixt should be okay, but my experience was using a corporate login, and within the site I've added my elite number.
If you just book on sixt.com you should be okay.

Do you mean the link posted below? When I searched that link I only see for $260+. Im looking for 6/29 at 12:30am to 7/1 at 7 am so technically 3 days.

So you state clearly, because people spend time on it.
Yes, this link.
Try stating your country as Belgium

No problem, wasn't personal, just a general suggestion.

One that make sense though.

How can I book the car if it believes I am in Belgium? The reservation page will not let me know change my CC address to USA without changing the quote. Should I put it as a Belgium address?

Try maybe with gift card, or virtual credit card.
(It doesn't need to be the card presented at the check in)

Also, the actual rental company won't get the cc you used, so there is no danger booking for others.

Ah ok, so the payment I use now will not be the actual payment used for the car in the future? Is there any issue setting my driver address to a Belgium address? Could that give me any issues if I used my regular CC and needed to use the insurance on it?

No, what happens is, that you pay them say $100, and they pay to the rental company $90.
The rental company does not receive your credit card you used to pay.
Ideal if you want to markup the price and charge someone more.

So the rental agency just receives my driver info? Can I put any name and address for the driver info here and it wont matter when I pick up the car with a NY license versus a Belgium one?
