After arriving in Europe, Germany in particular, I rarely rent a car and never fly.
As the OP got satisfying answers to his question, I think we can go a bit OT.
No DB is not extremely reliable. They are somewhat reliable. A search on your favourite search engine will reveal plenty of press articles in German and foreign press about how DB has become a national shame due to their poor reliability and customer service.
