Sixt sent me a message encouraging me to check in early for my car rental. But to do so, I have to consent to a biometric face scan that their third-party contractor keeps on file. No thanks.
Sixt wants to store a scan of my face

So many sites are asking for so much recently. Need some serious global regulations

Exactly. Blows my fucking mind.
Tried to explain to my family how to opt out of Meta AI in WhatsApp and why it was a good idea.
Wasted my time.

Leopard: “I am going to eat you”
Everyone: agree all
Just replace the leopard with capitalism. Everyone’s a cuck.

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?

How are you supposed to pronounce this service? Because I keep trying and it keeps sounding like sext.

I think sorta like if ‘six’ had a past tense (i.e. sixed)
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Huh. I viewed it as 60, the number. Six - T.

“Enrolment” is the British spelling.

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.

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.

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.
