As part of a new agreement with Sabre Travel Network, Sixt will benefit from a simplified, efficient process for providing reservations information to the Sabre GDS. The new agreement with Sixt is for the highest level of participation in the Sabre GDS, stated a release.
Beverley Oliver, Sixt’s UK Sales Head, said: “Connecting at Sabre’s highest level will further benefit travel agents, by giving them quick and easy access to the information they need. It will also enable us to automate the process by which we input data, as the information we enter in our own reservation system will automatically appear in the Sabre GDS.”
Dean Bibb, Sabre Travel Network’s vice-president of supplier relations and joint ventures, EMEA, said Sixt’s upgraded connectivity will streamline the car rental booking and selling process, allowing agents to spend more time doing what they do best – advising their customers.
