Location: SEA
Status: Platinum (National Status Match)
Reserved: LCAR (Merc. C-Class or Similar)
Received: Volvo V60 Cross Country Plus with 1.5k miles
This was my first rental with Sixt (Decided to switch after seeing exorbitant rates at National and disappointing choices at Hertz (PC member)). The app oddly provided me the option to choose my vehicle (Didn't do it as I only saw the notification after picking up) even though my mobile check in had failed. The lady at the booth was friendly but firm in terms of the upgrades she offered. I was initially hoping to get a Merc C-Class or 330i but she said they had ran out of those cars and only had a Volvo XC40 or a V60 (both with approx. 1.5k miles) for me to choose from (credit where credit is credit's due, I didn't see a single 330i or C300 in the lot). She then offered me the choice to upgrade to a GLC43 (initially 80/day, negotiated it down to 36/day but since this was a 15 day rental, I declined at the end) or CLE (didn't ask about the rate as we needed 4 doors) both also with approx. 1.5k miles (they seem to have taken delivery of a lot of these as I saw more of them than I did BMWs in the lot). I did also ask about platinum upgrades and she said that they had no upgrades available (She did offer me an additional discount on the GLC after hearing this). Still, I would say that the process was very efficient and enjoyable especially when compared to Hertz counter agents( who, during most of the times I've rented with them, are not only stingy about upgrades, but also charge crazy amounts for them). When I headed to the lot, I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that they had parked our car in the Diamond area. To conclude, although I wasn't totally blown away by what they had on offer (would've still loved an upgrade), I definitely got what I paid for and would definitely recommend renting with them.
