Hello all! I'm new here. Anyways, I was in Germany for the first time last January and it was fantastic! As I wanted to enjoy the Autobahn, I rented from Sixt Munich Airport for the duration of my stay.

Here are the details;

Status: Gold
Location: Munich Franz Josef Strauss Airport
Booked: Mercedes C-Class (FDAR)
Received: Volkswagen Touareg V6 TDI (XFAR I believe)

Well, I booked a C-Class because I've always wanted to drive the new W205 C-Class. When time came for me to choose the car (I have the Sixt app on my phone), I was automatically given a BMW 330d xDrive (no choice here). So I went to the rental counter and interestingly enough they gave me a BMW 316i instead of the car stated on the app. I decided to try my luck and see whether they had any C-Class automatic saloons available in their huge parking garage, which they didn't. The agent looked as various cars on her system for me (VW Touareg, Audi A6, Mercedes E-Class, BMW Z4 etc.) and even tried asking me to upgrade to either a S350L Bluetec or S500L. Didn't want any of those as I was purely looking for the C-Class. In the end, I took the 316i and headed for the car. Had a look round outside and inside and decided it might be a little underpowered for me and also the car had a lot of minor damages. So I headed back to the counter and decided to get the Touareg instead as that was the cheapest choice upgrade for me among the cars the agent quoted me. I was actually quite impressed by the Touareg (very powerful and comfortable) and it only had like 1500kms on it which makes it practically brand new. However, there were some minor damages to the left rear bumper of the car which were there prior to pickup and I told the Sixt guy in the carpark about it as the rental agreement stated that the Touareg had no damages and he said not to worry as he checked his hand held device and the damages were already on the system. I received an e-mail a few weeks later regarding this issue and I explained to them what happened and I was not charged for the damage.

Location: Munich Franz Josef Strauss Airport
Booked: smart fortwo (MBMR)
Received: smart fortwo coupe passion (MBMR)

I dropped the Touareg off a day before I was due to fly back to the UK and picked up a smart fortwo as like the C-Class, I've always wanted to try out the new smart fortwo. I chose a brand new smart fortwo through the app on my phone (there were several other choices with around 500-2500kms on the clock). Surprisingly it was not a bad car at all! Managed around 140-145km/h on the Autobahn and it is good for city driving.

P.S. On a side note, I'm going to Germany again next month, but this time I'm heading for Frankfurt and Stuttgart. I'm thinking of renting FDAR again in hopes of getting a C-Class this time, but I do have a question. Does anyone here know whether Sixt DE has the brand new Jaguar XE in their fleet yet? And if they do, is it part of FDAR as the XE is around the same size as the C-Class/3-Series?
