d) only tip > german rental companies are more detail oriented (to phrase it positively) when it comes to damages > make sure all are captured
e) too late for you but you should have checked if six.co.uk has better rates (sometimes they have / or one class is cheaper than .com while another is more expensive)
f) if you would have rented in a non Airport/Train Station location you would have avoided the Premium Station Surcharge (20% ?)
Hello,

First of all, thank you very much.

a] I'll check with the bank.
b] Yeah stick is the way to go imho...
c] Well, I won't be disappointed if they don't.
d] This is what I've been looking for. Do you think I should get a signed document that the car has no problems while leaving?
e] Yes you are correct, I have checked .com, .de and .com.tr and rates were different, but didn't think about uk. Well, next time.
f] I know but have a great deal of luggage & as the worst part my wife with me. They could as well charge 40%

Thank you very much again , help is much appreciated...
