TLS

Sixt Platinum

Booked: XDAR - BMW 7 Series, Mercedes S Class, Audi A8 or equivalent.
Assigned: XDAR - BMW 630GT
Received: XDAR - BMW 745E M Sport

An unusually empty lot at Sixt TLS. Was assigned a 6er the day before my rental and phoned up to query. Apparently Sixt now also class the 6er as XDAR which seems wrong to me. Over the phone I was told I could have an Audi Q7 instead but I said I’d sort it on arrival.

On arrival was offered the 6er, an Audi TT or a BMW X4 M40 (for 100 EUR per day extra!!!). No Q7. Asked again for 7 series but told none available. I accepted the 6er begrudgingly.

When I got to the lot there was a 745e M Sport - I spoke to the guy there and he immediately reassigned me to it. A lovely low mileage fully loaded car. The rest of the lot was almost empty which is unusual.

I hope this was a one-off “bad day at the office” for Sixt TLS.

No way should a 6er be XDAR - really strange.
