car · starting from Platinum · unlocks 3 programs (3 free)
The fastest way out of Enterprise Plus Platinum is a straight status match, and there are three of them, all free. A single match gets you into Avis President's Club or
Hertz President's Circle — both top-tier, obsidian-level status — or into
Sixt Platinum. None of these require a stay or a spend threshold; you're trading proof of your Enterprise Plus Platinum for the equivalent status elsewhere.
The fine print differs enough to matter. Avis wants emailed proof sent to its status-match address, and the matched President's Club status runs for about a year. Hertz will only run this match once every five years per member, and the resulting President's Circle status holds through December 31 of the second calendar year after it's approved — so it's worth timing rather than using casually. Sixt is the outlier in a good way: the matched Platinum status never expires outright, it just upgrades over your first 12 months and then renews from there.
If you're weighing which to use first, Sixt is the one with no clock forcing your hand later, which makes it the easy default. Avis and Hertz are both worth doing too since they cost nothing but proof of your existing status, but Hertz's five-year cap means you shouldn't burn it on a trip where you don't actually need President's Circle-level perks.
