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.

    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!”. 😒
