Is this site secure?

At www.sixt.co.uk they claim that the site is secure and yet it is not an https site. The specific page can be found by clicking 'van rental', choose any location and date for delivery, click next, click on any vehicle, click next, ignore the options on the next page, click next and this should bring you to the reservation page where you have to enter your credit card details. The small print claims that the data is sent via SSL but how?

You can send data via SSL, while the page itself may not be recieved via ssl. You sometimes get warnings from your browser to "display both secure and non-secure items"
That message typically occurs in reverse however, the page is served via httpS and there are plain http items as well. You can consider the data sent via ssl secured, however it's a better practice to make the entire page https, not just the CC transaction field.

I don't think your browser prompts you when the page is served http, and parts are ssl... I'm not sure.
