Suggestion: you can put on a pair of leather trousers
Didnt see your reply!
Thank you for this though.
Very good to know, Id be pretty happy with either of those cars, hoping the one I get has satnav and leather! And one of the better petrol engines.

I promise you won't get any of these 2.

Sixt doesnt have A250
Sixt has probably 10 GTI in Germany out of thousands in this class. so you can calculate the probability of getting one.

expect an 114i/116i and everything on top of that is bonus. because 114i/116i is what you booked, not more than that.

satnav is possible, leather very very unlikely.

what you are requiring is standard for LDAR. maybe you should change your booking and stop dreaming

What cars are usually available for LDAR? I dont really want something as big as a 5GT.
Also, I believe Gary said above that the Frankfurt location doesnt have BMWs.

without checking, I cannot believe that Gary would say something like that.

LDAR is 525d and higher engines. or Audi A6 3.0tdi
530d GT or higher could also be possible.

I currently have a car booked from Manchester in the PDAR catagory. I am awaiting flights from my company and I had aticipated an arrival time in the UK of 11am, however it looks like I may arrive on an earlier flight.

For example my car is booked for 12pm on 1st to 7pm on 7th April. I may need to pick the car up at 930am. If I try to change my booking on the web im hit with extra charges as the rate has changed since I booked. Is it possible to email you (Gary) to have my time changed without being hit with extra charges. My rental period (8 days) has not changed just the time of pick up.

On a side note to this how much earlier or later is accepted to turn up for a booking without penalty.

Have a two week rental in September out of and back to LHR. Have booked FWAR. Does anyone know the car group of the Subaru Forester and if I am in danger of getting one? Had two of them recently and really want to avoid this car. Hope that FWAR should give me something more "premium" than that...

You should first get Sixt Plat Card there : http://partner.sixt.de/index.php?id=4368&L=0

However, the site doesn't work

This is the link for AF/KLM FB Platinum. https://www.sixt.com/php/cards?cd=9812074.
For some reason, the link corrected for Hotels send to express cards registration instead of Platinum...

If I were you I would go to the link https://www.sixt.com/php/cards?cd=9812074 and input 9815830 as CD and do the registration.

Then you'll be Sixt Platinum and will be able to rent cars at the Club Carlson Gold Elite Rate.

Hi Welch9, By changing the times you might very well attract a different daily rate. If you are not certain of your travel arranges, then I would no book pre paid, only the slightly more expensive flexible rate which can be changed without charges.

I will send my e-mail in a private message. Please send an e-mail to me and outline your requested changes.

If you your travel plans change then please do discuss this with your rental location, they will not hold your vehicle indefinitely and this is the same for a pre paid booking too.

Thanks, Gary

So what class would you recommend for me?
I really just want a sporty hatchback that has a bit of power, comfortable, and not too big.
I wouldnt want something as big as a 5 series GT.

Also question, what type of identification is required to pick up the car from the location?

Be sure to tell the rental location that you are going to CZ. You may also make a note by the time of booking, and I would contact the station a few days before your trip again, and again mention it at the counter. Not all models and brands are allowed to be driven into CZ.

aaps59: then SSMR is what you are looking for. that should be an audi TT or VW scirocco

(but they are so expensive that one usually takes LDAR instead )

identification is written on the homepage when you make the reservation

Hi Gary,

I have a confirmed Sixt rental (through cartrawler) for a CLAR at Copenhagen airport in mid May. What vehicle am I likely to get? I've seen both a Citroen C4 and a Renault Megane mentioned. I thought you might have more info because I had to wait for Sixt to confirm they could have a CLAR as it is not normally available.

Thanks!
Joe
