Booked: ICAR
Received: IFAR VW Tiguan - First impression was this is an ugly car but actually performs pretty well. Handles a lot better than a Rav-4.
Status: Platinum
Location: FLL
Booked: ICAR
Received: SCAR VW Jetta - Agent was going to assign a Sentra which is ICAR. Only provided a one-class upgrade instead of two-class upgrade after I asked.
This is the same location that insist that Versa was an ICAR when sixt.com has it listed as a CCAR.

actually not an free upgrade but very nice paid upgrade for around 25 euro.
oroginally booked CPMR, but they only had 1 series in manual and i would like an automatic, then she offered an ww passat estate DSG, IWMR which was actually an free uograde, but then she also mentioned an bmw 520d auto facelift model and it was a no brainer for only 25 euros extra.
very nice car ! and very pleased with rest of the sixt service at hamburg airport
thank you

Location: LAX
Booked: PCAR (CLA)
Received: PCAR (Volvo, they dont even stock the CLA). When I expressed frustration at the listing showing me getting a CLA tho they dont even have one....i was reluctantly offered a LCAR (BMW 328i). When i asked about something bigger i was told they had already 'upgraded me' to a LCAR. Which pissed me off a bit more as if i hadnt pushed back in the first place i wouldnt have gotten any upgrade at all (for what its worth i was only renting for 6 hours....)

Mannheim Hbf (Can't you tell I'm there a lot...)
Rented FDAR (Merc C-class) + Nav guarantee
Given Merc C class (the 2015 one... so brand spanking new so no complaints), but didn't have a working Nav (was equipped but missing maps) so given A6 Avant. Kinda wished the C class had a working Nav just to test it out.
Munich Arabellapark (In the Westin)
Rented FDAR
Given BMW 420d Convertible

Location: DUS Maritim Hotel
Booked: PTMR
Received: Email morning of stating no convertible available and that I will receive an E-Class (PDMR). I quickly cancelled my reservation as I have no desire to pay PTMR if it is not a Z4 and made a new reservation for CPMR. Agent assigned the same E-Class on the CPMR rate.
I booked without NAV. "Somehow" the contract got NAV added on which I corrected before signing the agreement.

Booked: PDMR
Received: PDMR
The clerk adviced me that there is no upgrade "since this is already a premium class car".... Nice going!
The car had scratches all over.

Hi
Thinking about booking a standard SUV at Sixt PHX for a week in December.
Is it likely I would get upgraded to a Premium SUV as a Platinum?
Any disadvantage booking via Amex Travel vs Sixt online? Prices seem the same...
Thanks!
