Sorry, you are right, I meant SWMR. That one which is a kombi because they have more of the non-kombis and can upgrade you on a smaller one more easily instead of a kombi. You can choose it in the reservation mask and nearly 100% of the A4īs are Diesel.

Thatīs a little strange with your e220cdi. Never saw an E-class kombi at my Europcar stations, had it a few times with Sixt. I think it depends on the station, mine has a lot Audis and the only Mercedes they have are the c-classes.

Of course you can be unlucky with my sort of plan. For example, this weekend they gave me a c220cdi T which is crap and I was laughing out loud as I read your comment because I donīt like that one, too. But itīs a give and take, once in a while itīs not working.

But it only happens once a year that they give me that c-class. They know me and also know that Iīd rather take a Golf instead of a Mercedes and that is why they donīt give it to me. Another reason could be a one-way rental. Everytime when I am doing a return-rental I get better cars. They told me that a lot of people like the Audis and because of that they try to keep them as long as possible and donīt give them out for one-way rentings.

Let me know if it worked in your case.

Cheers
